NEXT RETREAT
INTENSIVE SURF COACHING WEEK
Gijon/Asturias
(North of Spain)
By Nico Kalli & My Serendipity
17.06.24 to 23.06.24
Feeling stuck in your surfing or not seeing any progression?
Don’t know where to start? Are you too afraid to go into the water alone? Or maybe you just want to accelerate your learning and enhance your skills?
Either way, our Intensive Surf Coaching Week in the beautiful North of Spain is your fast track to not just standing up, but truly mastering those waves with proper technique, regardless of your starting point. It’s about serious improvement in your surfing, from the basics upward.
You’ll learn to catch waves better, understand the ocean more deeply, and maybe even surprise yourself all in a fun, no-pressure, yet professional environment.
During this intensive surf coaching week, you’ll learn far more than you may have in many years. Surfing is challenging, but with the right tools and foundational knowledge, you’ll progress rapidly. The basics are crucial, whether you’re a beginner or a more intermediate surfer. Sometimes, we need to unlearn, reset, and relearn in order to improve.
FOR WHO?
Beginner Level 1
You never surfed before, but you are highly motivated to learn how to surf and make progression during the intensive surf coaching week.
Beginner Level 2
You surfed a couple of times before, but you need help to catch & read the waves. You are mainly surfing the wave straight towards the beach.
Intermediate Surfer
You can catch your own waves, but you still struggle with reading the good waves. You want to understand the ocean and learn how to surf down the line—going left or right on an unbroken wave.
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT
Professional AND personal coaching
Everyone’s surf journey is different, and our experienced surf instructors guided by Nico Kalli meet you where you're at. New to surfing? We'll start from scratch. Been at it for a while but feel stuck? We’ll help you move past that. Our coaching is all about practical and hands-on guidance that makes a real difference.
Video analysis
See your surf from a new angle. Literally. We film your sessions, then sit down together to show you what’s happening when you surf. Not to criticize you, but to help you see what’s working and what isn’t– so you can get better, faster and easier. It's eye-opening!
Training on land
Surfing starts off the board. It’s important to build muscle memory out of the water! We include exercises specifically designed for surfing– strengthening the muscles you use most on the board and improving your overall agility, balance and endurance you need out there in the water.
Mindset matters
Sometimes, the biggest waves are in our heads. Surfing's as much about your mindset as it is about physical skills. That’s why we also delve into the mindset of surfing that’s holding you back— dealing with fears, building confidence, and staying mentally strong when the waves challenge you. With our Ocean Workshops, we want to look behind the facade of our limits, fears and blockages in order to overcome them together with certain tools.
Why you
should Join?
We go beyond basic wave catching. You’ll learn to read the sea’s language – when to paddle, where to position yourself, and how to choose your wave (yes, you’ll work hard and yes, you’ll be challenged!)
But amidst the intensive training, you’ll also discover the pure, unadulterated joy of surfing. The kind of joy that comes from riding a wave you thought you couldn’t or from finally conquering a fear that’s held you back.
Beyond the surf techniques and the mindset training, you’ll meet people as passionate about surfing as you are. Everyone’s here to learn and support each other, making for a pretty awesome week. And last… We’re not just in Gijon for the food and the sidra. The place is a surf haven with a mix of waves for all levels, making it the perfect spot to learn and improve. Plus, you get a taste of the local surf scene.
Together with Nico Kalli, we created this week because we know the transformative power of surfing and the connections it can create. We can’t wait to welcome you.
Ready for a week that'll change how you surf?
One where you can make real progress in your surfing, push your boundaries (gently), hang with a group of other women who share your passion, and have the time of your life?
This is your invitation to join us for a week that’s as much about catching waves as it is about having the kind of fun that only comes from truly challenging yourself.

Where do we stay?
For our intensive surf coaching week, we’re heading to Gijon/Asturias, a beautiful spot in the North of Spain. It’s known for its rich history by the sea and the Cimadevilla, an old quarter full of charm. And, yes, the surfing’s great here too – that’s why we’re coming.
We’ll be staying in a Surf House near San Lorenzo Beach, a fun beach break perfect for surfers of all levels and close to the city center of Gijon. You can easily explore the city and enjoy its fantastic food scene. If you’re flying in, Asturias Airport is about 40 minutes away from where we’ll be.
