Two Surf Classes

You can surf Cape Town all year long. The atmosphere in the water is friendly and easy-going. With sand-bottom waves that break for up to 200m, it’s an ideal setup to progress your surfing. Due to its diverse coastline, the upcoming swells hit each one of the beaches in different angles.
We will drive to Muizenberg, known for its consistent mellow waves year round and perfect for beginner to intermediate surfing, but also excellent for advanced longboarding.

Clémence

Hey guys I’m Clémence, an enthusiastic Frenchy…At the age of 20, I traveled to Brazil to do voluntary work in an orphanage. This is where I started surfing and became aware of my passions for the ocean, the importance of living in harmony with nature and how connections with others was the strongest nourishment people could get.
Passionate about travels and adventures I pursued a master’s degree in hospitality management that led me to live and work in many countries and become an expert at creating wonderful guest journey experiences.

In 2015 I settled in Dubai which was far away from being an ideal place for me, not enough nature, very little waves however this is where I deepened my yoga practice and then certified as a yoga teacher in 2018 and became a certified Integrative Nutrition Coach.

Loving putting myself out of my comfort zone, I started BJJ in 2022. Jiu Jitsu and surfing shared a similar mindset and lifestyle that required both mental and physical strength and a never-ending learning.
Now I want to share these experiences with others, and I am so excited to meet you and share some incredible moments together!

Claire

Salut, I am Claire, an epicurean passionate about life and all its pleasures…

Athlete since my early age (handball, mountain bike, skiing), it was at 18 that I discovered surfing and fell in love with it immediately. What I like the most about this lifestyle, it’s the connection with nature, the strong cleansing effect of the seabreeze and the soothing power of watching the waves. This passion led me to participate in several surf camps in Portugal, Spain, France, which have allowed me to discover new horizons and live magical moments.

I am super keen on all things fitness, adventure, and outdoors, and love to get after it as much as I can. I know the benefits of keeping fit and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.
I love my morning routine which always consists of making fresh juices with healing ingredients and moving my body. In 2022 I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Dubai, a discipline that I am passionate about and that has many similarities with surfing.

My dream was to organize a retreat that would combine my passion for the Ocean, BJJ, healthy living and share it with others. For me, dreams are made to be realized, and I am determined to achieve my goals.
