Surf Goddess Retreat

20+ Years Of Surf Lessons for Women in Bali

Established in 2003, Surf Goddess was the world’s first surf & yoga retreat designed specifically for women, blending the excitement of a surf camp with the luxury of daily yoga, spa treatments, and wellness workshops. Our program was inspired by our founder, Chelsea Ross, who learned to surf from a woman and realized that women approach surfing differently from men. This insight led to the creation of a unique coaching program tailored to women of all ages and fitness levels.

Our surf retreat program focuses on women’s physical strengths and challenges, emphasizing technique and safety. This approach helps our guests quickly build ocean confidence while improving their surfing skills. For 20 years, we’ve partnered with Bali’s top surf school, Rip Curl. The same dedicated instructors at Rip Curl have been guiding our women-only surf sessions for two decades, understanding that every woman is on her own journey, and our surf program allows you to progress comfortably at your own pace throughout the week.

Our mission remains the same: we’re not just teaching women how to surf—we’re inspiring a generation of women wave-riders to share the soul of surfing worldwide.

With nearly 10,000 women introduced to surfing, we promise that even if you’ve never surfed before, you’ll surprise yourself by standing up on your board by the end of your first lesson.

For Intermediate Surfers

Intermediate surf lessons teach expertise in wave riding and prepares you for more challenging breaks on the reef and outer banks.

Our intermediate surf coaching will teach you how to:

• Improve wave selection by identifying how to choose the best waves to ride
• How to take off on the angle of a wave
• How to make transitional turns—forehand to backhand, which provide the foundation for the key maneuverer in surfing “the cutback”.
• Best techniques for generating speed and using compression and extensions for body positioning and ‘trimming’ the wave.
• Learn surfing rules and etiquette for dealing with crowds and seasoned surfers
• Learn how to navigate reef surfing and other larger wave riding techniques.

This intermediate course is key preparation for surfing reef breaks and large wave riding.
