Our mission and purpose
We strive to create an experience that is more than a surf retreat—it’s a space to recharge, connect, and explore. Here, you’ll ride incredible waves, unwind in nature, and share unforgettable moments.
Soulful Adventurer
Hi I'm Anais aka Facingblankpages
One thing is certain: my passion for surfing and helping others reach their full potential is boundless. My own journey through challenges, healing and personal growth has taught me how powerful our mindset can be in finding more peace, confidence and freedom. Today, I bring together my experience in surfing, mindset and deep empathy to help you feel more confident,both in and out of the water.
Freedom, one wave at a time
I started these retreats in 2022 from a deep love for surfing, but also from a desire to share everything surfing has taught me beyond the waves: patience, resilience, strength, presence and the freedom to simply play.
Five years later, my team and I have welcomed hundreds of guests from around the world, many returning year after year. More than a surf retreat, I wanted to create a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover that playful, free and curious part of you that can so easily get lost in the busyness of life.
Because sometimes, finding your way back to yourself starts with simply allowing yourself to play again.
Expat in Bali since 10 years
Bali, the Island of the Gods, opened its arms to me and became one of my greatest teachers, holding me as I healed my heart and found my way back to myself.
At 30, I discovered surfing, and everything changed. Surfing saved my life. It became my meditation, the place where my mind goes quiet and I feel completely present and free.
From sunrise surf sessions and longboard waves to sunset bike rides with flowers in my backpack, Bali taught me a slower, more mindful way of living: closer to nature, more connected to myself, and to what truly matters.

LEAVING THE PAST BEHIND
In 2006, I lost my dad, and it created the greatest tsunami in my soul. Grief shook me to my core, and for years I felt lost, overwhelmed and deeply disconnected from myself. I dedicated the next 20 years to healing, seeking answers through therapy, spirituality and many different paths back to myself.
In 2016, I made a radical decision: I moved to Bali in search of a different way of living; one with more freedom, peace and purpose.
SURFING SAVED MY LIFE
Surfing saved my life. It found me at a time when I felt lost and slowly showed me the way back to myself: to freedom, presence, play and feeling truly alive again.
Over the years, I discovered how deeply our emotions and fears show up in the way we surf. With 10 years of surfing experience and over 20 years of my own healing and personal growth, I now share what I’ve learned to help others move through their fears, reconnect with themselves and find more freedom, on and off the waves.
Because for me, surfing has always been more than catching waves. It’s a way back to yourself.
