2017 was our busiest year yet, we’re finally having a chance to reflect on all the good times we’ve had with so many amazing Surf Sistas, old faces and new. We had some lovely reviews in the press last year so here’s a little round-up in case you missed any!
In May the Style Traveller, aka Bonnie Rakhit, joined us in Bali for one of our 10 day Surf & Yoga retreats, she shared her experience in the Evening Standard and also on her personal blog:

Adventure Athlete Laura Kennington, aka Laura Explorer, joined us in June for one of our popular Surf & Yoga weekends in Cornwall.
“Down on the beach, we have a group stretch out and lesson on first how to body surf the waves before we progress to standing. It’s to the credit of Surf Sistas that the land based sessions are really efficient and we’re very quickly in the water. After successfully revising the childhood fun of body surfing, it’s back on land and straight down to business — standing up.”

“You’ll never experience a deeper silence than exploring the ocean on a single breath. Sometimes I could hear my heart thumping, maybe the odd pebble tapping the seabed, but other than that, deafening peace and quiet.”
