The Surfer’s Roadmap
Coaching retreats

How our retreats work

We strive to provide students with the best surf conditions possible for low-stress progression opportunities. During which, we capture high definition videos of each surfer and translate this footage into regular, highly detailed and specific video analysis sessions.

❋ Anchored in TSR

Our technique specialists deliver a unique video analysis presentation for each surfer that is anchored in The Surfer’s Roadmap principles.

❋ Positive coaching environments

We strive to ensure a positive, uplifting and fun learning environment for all surfers, regardless of ability, to thrive and feel confident trying new things.

❋ Expert Facilitation

We take surfers to remote, quiet surf locations with minimal crowds and excellent waves. Our coaches and guides are the best in the business at thinking creatively and creating a premium surf experience.

❋ Total immersion

True surf trips, designed for surfers. No time limits on surf sessions, we’re here to score sick waves in uncrowded locations amongst a bunch of legends, cheering each other on as they progress.

Connect with a small group of likeminded surfers; immerse yourself in waves & progression.

Nicaragua

Known for its incredible beach breaks, Nicaragua is one of our favourite retreat locations. We put in the extra effort to travel to lesser known breaks in an isolated area so that our students can max out on wave opportunities.

Sumatra

A mixture of reef breaks and beach breaks, our favourite location in Sumatra offers incredible lefts, rights and slabs to hone in technique. Seasonality is important here, and we’re currently choosing the ‘easy’ season to ensure low-stress, fun and rippable waves (and very low crowds).

  • "Being with TSR is an amazing experience! They are on it; capturing everyone's wave and making sure everything is thought of. The video footage and analysis helps you implement Kale's coaching in the next session."

    — Joey

  • "I've been stuck at that intermediate plateau for the last ten years. The film analysis and coaching revealed insights that I wasn't aware of in my surfing; it gave me a new lens to view surfing through. I wish I had done this sooner!"

    — Derek

  • We surfed alone pretty much the whole time in epic, often picture-perfect conditions (something I’m still wrapping my head around) which allowed for a true total immersion in surf progression. Add to that, we stayed in luxury, were fed incredible meals, got massages and had many laughs together as a group. See you next year!"

    — Brian

Tangible, exciting improvements on every retreat.
