Details of this retreat
Join us for a transformative 8-day retreat at KOA Surf School, just a few steps away from the ocean at Playa de Somo in Cantabria. Designed with care and intention, this holistic retreat combines structured surf lessons, video analysis and surf theory with Samana's signature approach: surf mental and emotional coaching, nervous system regulation, personalised guidance and daily yoga. Because we believe that most of surfing happens mentally, we support you not only in refining your technique, but in shifting limiting beliefs, staying present in challenging moments and building lasting self trust. In a warm, welcoming and safe environment, our experienced team guides you physically and mentally, helping you break through barriers, strengthen your resilience and reconnect with yourself in and out of the water.
If you're ready to grow both on and off the board, this is the perfect retreat for you!
