Four friends and I attended the Crescent Head Retreat in March. We were a mix of beginners through to advanced level surfers. We had rain and wind for half of the 4 day retreat but that didn’t dampen the fun!! Well organised, knowledgeable staff, great accommodation…..and exquisite food!! For me, it wasn’t so much about improving my surfing, but about being with like-minded people, enjoying the ocean together in rain or sun, and having lots of laughs!

This was one of the best organised trips I've ever been on. Helena organised a perfectly balanced programme with plenty of time to play. We surfed, we cooked, yoga-ed, got massaged, swam in waterfalls and ate (Gosh did we eat!) wonderful food. On the surf front (which was one of the main reasons I booked this trip) I was both challenged and supported in equal measures. Now I have a wonderful memory to take home with me. Thanks Helena!

Had the most INCREDIBLE week at the WSS Lombok retreat. We stayed in the most beautiful accommodation, food was nutritious and delicious and the staff were amazing and super attentive. Helena and Mel are the most beautiful and inspiring women, they made us all feel so safe and supportive in the water and I can safely say that everyone in the group’s surfing improved significantly! It was so nice to be surrounded by such incredible women and to be in such a positive and encouraging environment. Made some amazing friends and have returned to Australia feeling so motivated and knowing I have a place in the water! Couldn’t recommend more, I am already looking at when I can go back ☺️
