Our Mission

At RYSE, our mission is simple: to have fun, spread love, and share our passion for surfing and yoga with people from all backgrounds. We want to create a warm, welcoming space where everyone can experience the joy and tranquility these practices bring, regardless of where you come from or your experience level.

Our Philosophy

We believe that surfing and yoga are more than just activities—they’re pathways to personal growth, inner peace, and connection with the world around us. Here’s what drives us:

Inclusivity and Support: No matter your age, background, or skill level, our retreats are designed to be friendly and encouraging. We know that learning to surf can be challenging, and we’re here to help you progress at your own pace, free from judgment.

Connection with Nature: Surfing and yoga both foster a deep connection with nature. Whether you’re catching a wave or holding a yoga pose in the open air, these activities bring a sense of peace and harmony that’s truly special.

Mindfulness and Focus: Both surfing and yoga require focus and breath control. They help you stay present in the moment, creating a meditative state that enhances mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Respect and Local Integration: We do everything to support the local community, such as partnering with local surf schools for lessons. This helps us integrate respectfully into the local surf culture. Our number one rule is respect—for nature, for the local surfers, and for the environment. We’re just visitors, and our time here should be peaceful and respectful. We follow the rules of surfing and recommend reading them before joining our retreat to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Encouraging Growth: At RYSE, we aim to strike the right balance between respecting your personal limits and gently encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone. Our goal is to help you grow from the inside out—improving your skills, physical abilities, and inner strength through the practice of surfing and yoga.

Community and Camaraderie: We want our retreats to be more than just a getaway—they’re an opportunity to make lasting friendships and be part of a community that supports and inspires each other.

You didn’t come this far to stop!
