Women Soulful Surf is a fully female-owned and operated surf school. They offer Surf Programs, Private and Small Group Surf Lessons all year round, as well as four-day and week-long Retreats.
Their mission is to help you fall in love with surfing. They create a safe, supportive and fun environment for women of all ages and experiences to learn to surf and feel empowered. It doesn't matter if you're 16 or 60 if you want to try surfing or improve your skills, they are here to help!

One to One and small group classes. Perfect for those who want more individual attention. Also great if you want to book with your girlfriends and have a private session together! These sessions are great if you want to learn more about surfing or improve your technique at a faster pace. Private Surf Sessions are tailored to your specific needs so you can get the most out of your time. All sessions are led by experienced and qualified female instructors. The price includes high-quality soft-top surfboard and rash vest.

This program was intentionally designed to empower women and show them how much fun surfing can be! When it comes to learning to surf as an adult there is no one-size fits all. They understand, more than anyone else, the barriers and challenges that women come across while starting to surf. That's why we created the program where you can meet other like-minded women and experience learning to surf in a non-judgmental, supportive and fun atmosphere. During the program, you will learn surfing theory, how to be safe in the water and most of all how to have fun catching waves. You will learn three different pop-up techniques, efficient paddling techniques, and catching waves on your own. Each session is designed to help you progress.
Last year I joined the Lombok trip with WSS, and I’ve just returned from the Maldives boat trip and both were incredible. I love WSS, Helena, and the community she's created, everyone you meet is kind, supportive, and uplifting. I’d fully recommend a retreat to anyone looking to improve her surfing in a welcoming, open-minded group 😊
I had a magical week in the Maldives with WSS, Helena and AJ. Surf progression is one thing, I was amazed with what I learnt and the progress I made in my surfing as well as wave awareness. But these weeks are never just about the surf. The energy, experience and love you take from it is what makes it so special. Forever thankful I made the decision to join my first retreat almost 3 years ago, and to still be part of the magic they bring 🩵🌺✨
Hands down the best experience ever!! Helena out does her self every single retreat and brings such an incredible group of women together. I can safely say I have made lifelong friendships and incredible memories. If you haven’t already, book a trip in - you won’t regret it
The Maldives trip was my third WSS retreat with Helena, and it was absolutely incredible! This experience exceeded all my expectations. Helena and AJ were the perfect duo—thoughtful, supportive, and always making sure we had the best time. The group of women on this retreat was truly inspiring, each on their own unique life and surfing journey, yet all coming together to share this unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend any WSS retreat, but if you have the chance to do the Maldives trip—don’t hesitate! It’s simply outstanding.
If you want to learn how to catch green waves, read the surf, where to paddle out and that surfing is all about having fun from the kindest instructors then you should definitely join the level 3 beginner program at Caves Beach! I feel so much more confident to paddle out the back and try and catch green waves. I even caught my first one this weekend! I have also made girlfriends who I feel like I'll be surfing with for the rest of my life. Can't recommend these lessons enough, if you've been on the fence, just do it!
