What Our Surfers Say
Hands down one of the best weekends I’ve ever had! I will never forget each person I met throughout the trip. Thank you to the Sol Surf crew for everything.
There’s not one thing I would change about the weekend I had. It was planned out perfectly and I had so much fun improving my surf, meeting new and amazing people, and learning new things from all the very knowledgeable people who helped with surfing and skating. Our host Steph was so kind and comforting.

All the food was delish too! I especially loved your friendly, relaxed nature. It made everyone feel really at ease. I’ve been raving about the retreat since I got back! ❤️🌊🏄♀️🤙
I Just wanted to say a massive thanks for an awesome surf weekender down in Margs!!! I loved everything about it! Had such a fun surf at some great spots, & valued all the feedback you gave. Definitely left feeling like I’d learnt great tips, to help improve my style. The yoga was cool & very zen. The accommodation was so beautiful, with such a cosy, chill, holiday vibe to it.

We’d a great time, definitely progressed and frothing to get out again.
The October surf camp was as awesome as the photos and video clips make it look. The team Meags has brought together are knowledgeable, friendly and ace. Yoga catered to surf flexibility, tasty food, strong leadership in the surf and clear analysis.
You made it all come together with so much professionalism that it felt seamless and comfortable, yet exciting and fun with considerable education to assist us all to improve and continue to chase the passion of surfing..!
Thank you for a wonderful weekend..! I was so looking forward to it all year..it surpassed all expectations..!!
-Marieanne
It really is worth it having these guys in your corner cheering you on if you want to move your surfing to the next level, I could not recommend them enough and tell anyone who will listen! So excited for my next trip with Sol Surf to Indo! Wooo!
I just did my second trip to Lancelin with the Sol Surf crew, and wow what an epic time it was! The Sol Surf crew, besides being a bunch of the kindest legends in surfing, are exceptional teachers and trainers. I have learnt more in two sessions from them than I could have ever learnt on my own from their specific and individualised feedback that has changed my surfing in record time.

The entire weekend was just so much fun! Amazing food, awesome company, Meags was absolutely awesome…. Sign me up for the next one! 🤙🏼
THE most awesome weekend down in Margs with Meags! Could not fault it…. Absolutely loved the surfing - the coached sessions were exactly what I needed to improve my surfing, and get me hooked again, and the surf analysis was suuuuper helpful to see what I was actually doing too! I’ve always been pretty cautious and nervous surfing, especially when trying to go for green waves, but that’s completely changed now! It’s so exciting!

Most of all, your heart, passion, values and outlook on life really transfers on and changes peoples lives.
Thank you Meaghan for putting together such an awesome experience. The thoughtful touches, communication, attention to detail and all practical matters was excellent.
-Joyce
Non-stop laughs with such a diverse group of women, incredible yoga, super fun surfing with amazing coaches…I could go on and on. This will not be my last Sol Surf retreat experience!
One of the best weekends of my life! I have not stopped raving about it since returning home.
-Nat
The feedback was really good but there was also lots of chances for self learning and I improved a lot and gained a lot of confidence in just one session.
The one day event was a great way to be introduced to the company without making any major commitments. The atmosphere was fun and encouraging and people were very supportive of each other. It is a good opportunity to share experiences and find out you're not the only person having problems with x, y and z.
-Eden
Meags you host such a beautiful workshop/weekend. Thank you, it was amazing and your passion and love for people and the ocean shine! I plan to do another.
What an amazing weekend! The learnings, the fun, chill, yoga and surf with patient, kind and positive people in every aspect. I am such a beginner surfer and you, Simon and Amanda really put me at ease- I absolutely loved it!
-Christine
Thanks to Simon and Lee at Margaret River Surf Academy. Those guys were knowledgeable, professional and had loads of patience. Thanks for all your help in getting me out there. Loved the Surf Skating component with SmoothStar WA. It really does help make Surfing better. We got to enjoy some epic brewery, local cafe and restaurant. It was a lovely mix. See you all again soon. Maybe on your Lombok trip. Shazzie J February Surf and Yoga Retreat 2023.
Meags and Ben, You guys are LEGENDS! I had an amazing time on your February Surf and Yoga retreat. I learnt so much about surfing and have taken a lot of takeaways to improve my surfing ability. gain knowledge and importantly gaining confidence in the water. Thank you so much for an amazing memorable experience. The food was amazing and accommodation was so comfortable and modern. Love having the yoga component to stretch and relax after our massive surf at Grunters.

My daughter and I were lucky enough to join the July '24 Lombok retreat and I'm so thankful we made it there. We had the most beautiful week. The accomodation was super comfy, the food options were amazing, the surfing breaks were perfect for us (intermediate), the little add ons were fun and the experience as a whole was just incredible. Having a driver at our disposal was also great as it gave us the flexibility of popping in to town whenever we pleased. Yoga, also was a lovely addition after surfing every day. The best part about it though, which surprised me, were the other people on the retreat. What a bunch of legends. From not knowing any of them at all, my daughter and I feel like we made life-long friends! What a bonus. Well done Sol Surf. Will definitely be considering another retreat in the future.

Still coming down from the vibes of an epic Sol Surf trip to Lombok. It was everything I needed! Sunshine, waves, amazing location and a group of great people with plenty of laughs. It's the ideal trip for a busy mum of 3. Everything was organised and I didn't have to plan thing - a huge perk! I was able to dedicate time to improving my surfing (something which brings me much joy), enjoy some quiet time by the pool, and eat delicious food every day. The only decisions I had to make were whether I wanted to surf once or twice a day, and which dish I should choose every meal. It was the ultimate 'me' time! I highly recommend other mothers take some time for themselves, let Meags plan you an incredible trip, and ride the waves!

Wow, wow, wow! It’s been almost a week and I’m still on a high from our Lombok retreat! Meags, you are an absolute superstar - the accomodation, the surf guides, the activities and the food…EVERYTHING was incredible. Not to the mention the legends on retreat, some familiar faces and the new friends I made, it was all the BEST! And it was so nice having everything organised and for me not having to think about anything! This was my second Sol Surf overseas trip, and I think about my 8th Sol Surf retreat in total and every single time I come away feeling amazing and full of stoke. Thank you, thank you, thank you - see you again next year yeeeewwwwww 🤙🏽

The Lombok surfing retreat was a great way to improve my surfing skills and to build confidence in water. It was lovely to be surrounded by a group of likeminded women who encouraged each other in our journeys. I am back to reality now but these beautiful memories of the retreat give me lots motivation to keep on making time to go surfing between my duties. Thank you to Seline for being an amazing host and to SolSurf for facilitating such an awesome camp!
-Gea
This was my first international retreat with Sol Surf, and any expectations I had were completely blown out the water. Lombok was an absolute dream of a trip! Seline was a fantastic host, keeping the whole week running seamlessly. The surf instructors were extremely knowledgeable about the ocean and keeping us safe, as well as adding fun to each session. I caught waves I never thought I'd be able to, which was such a joy! The accommodation, food, and extra activities were just incredible. The whole experience was wonderful, and I can't thank Sol Surf and everyone who as involved enough. Definitely a trip of a lifetime
-Amy

-Kimmy
I just finished up on a surf trip in Lombok, Indonesia. The trip was absolutely fantastic and I am so glad I did it. Everything was perfect, from the food to the accommodation, waves, surf guides and the host. Seline you were amazing. You did such a fantastic job of organising everyone, keeping it fun, providing tips and absolutely ripping it in the waves! The local surf guides were exceptional. They kept us all feeling safe and comfortable while keeping it light hearted and fun. If anyone is ummming and ahhhhing about booking a trip with Sol Surf I would highly recommend just booking it. You won’t regret it. Cheers Bec
