Before going to Siargao and joining the retreat with Awake Retreat, my surfing experience was very basic — I could only catch whitewater waves, not green ones. That was my main goal when I arrived.
I would say that from day one, Rem was incredibly professional and committed to making my stay unforgettable. The hostel was clean and quiet, the restaurant was excellent, and the prices were very affordable.
Reden, who was my coach for 7 days, was the best — deeply knowledgeable about the ocean and conditions, friendly, cheerful, and full of energy, which made my days feel like the perfect surf vacation/training and I achieved my goal of catching green waves, which left me super satisfied 😀

I highly recommend this retreat — it’s by far one of the best things I’ve done in all my years of traveling. Without a doubt, I’ll be coming back very soon.

Thank you, Rem, for this perfect holiday 😎
