Whether you’ve surfed before or never even touched a board - this one’s for you. We'll be surfing on the pristine beaches of Varkala with ISA-certified instructors, recovering with an ice bath, experience the traditional martial art of Kalaripayattu, celebrate Christmas together, surfskate at sunset and have lots of time at the beach with some games!

Why the surf retreat with Surf Club India?

Our surf retreats are curated with keeping surf life at the centre of everything. These experiences enhance your surf progress and help you get a glimpse of the local surf life & culture.

Curated experiences

Each activity is curated keeping the surf life in mind. These experiences are offered exclusively for Surf Club India participants. If you're looking for experiential travel, then surf retreats are for you. 

A complete local guide to surf town

Get an insider's guide to travel completly curated and vetted by locals. Explore the local eataries where other surfers head to after surf. Best of the cafes and cliff top secret spots. Sunset spots and best of Chai Kadai. Get access to best of local parties. 

Beginner friendly

All of our retreats are super beginner-friendly, especially for those who are surfing for the first time. We usually accommodate a few non-swimmer spots too. Our trained and certified instructors will help you catch your waves.

Alcohol & parties

Retreats in itself are intended to slow down, relax and soak in the surf life. It's certainly not "getting drunk in a beach town vibe".  We do organise a dinner/BBQ party on the last night of the surf retreat where everyone can get together and share drinks and dinner.
