OH MY WOW!!! I don't really know where to begin except by saying how amazing this retreat was. I will try my best to make this short and sweet but no guarantees...

First things first, I was hesitant to book because I have done surf trips but had never participated in guided trips and usually just find the waves on my own. But this was beyond just pointing us in the right direction and sending us off with a rental (which btw I could have never found these breaks on my own). It was in an intimate setting with a team that honestly did not make it feel weird they are local people, with local wave knowledge as well as understanding surf analysis and wave swell.
Estong and Tacio ( both surf instructors) really pushed me to adjust my icky bad surf habits but did it in a functional way that made me adjust my mistakes but also laugh so hard during the process. Edward, the drone pilot helped put everything in perspective because we were able to sit down one on one and analyze what was going on with the provided footage.

Beyond the surfing, Rem is honestly a gem!! Such a sweet person and organized the surf, yoga, ice bath, transportations, accommodations and who knows what else she did behind the scenes. She is one of those people who are not only so organized but she genuinely made me feel like she cared about me, coming out to surf and yoga when I knew she had a million other things to do.

I did not mean to make this so long but honestly, I was blown away by the genuine love everyone had for the beautiful island of Siargao and care they took of me any my friend. I am leaving the retreat feeling like I made real connections with the group and see them as lifelong friends. If you are like me and hesitant I can't tell you enough how worth it was to book this retreat.
