The Progression Retreat
Seven days in Siargao. For surfers who are done feeling stuck.
General Luna, Siargao, Philippines
–
7 nights
Intermediate - can catch own waves and paddle back out unassisted
Who this is for
You can already catch your own waves and paddle back out without help. Good. That’s the floor, not the ceiling.
But you’re still guessing in the lineup. You catch a good wave and have no idea how to repeat it. You know there’s a gap in your foundation, you just don’t know what it is. This retreat closes that gap.
What you’ll leave with
Confident lineup positioning, not guesswork
The ability to read a wave before you paddle for it
Consistent basic turns you can repeat, not fluke
A clear technical foundation you can keep building on alone
Video proof of where you started and where you finished
The surf
Siargao in January means consistent Pacific swell. Waist to head high, most days. You’ll surf a mix: soft, forgiving reefs to dial in technique, and more powerful waves near Cloud 9 when you’re ready for them.
We pick the spot to match where you’re at that day. Not the other way around.
How we coach
Five guided sessions with Surf Pulse, local coaches who grew up on these reefs. Max 3:1 ratio. Every session gets broken down on video so you can see what’s actually happening, not what you think is happening.
Off the water: surf skate, mobility work, and a goal-setting session to give you a plan for after you leave. This isn’t a week of fun in the sun. It’s a week of getting better, with the fun built in.
Where you’ll stay
Coracasa, General Luna. Short walk to the beach, minutes from the surf. Private en-suite rooms, breakfast daily, one scooter per room so you’re never stuck waiting on anyone else.
