Whether you're new to the ocean or an experienced surfer looking to improve skills or find a deeper connection, we customize the experience for you.

Our approach is deeply personal. We believe in meeting each individual where they are, whether physically, emotionally, or in their surfing abilities. With over 20 years of surfing experience, our founder JP ‘Peli’ Pereat ensures that every session is a blend of fun, learning, and personal transformation.

Ocean therapy offers many benefits, including improved physical fitness, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of confidence. For many, connecting with the ocean provides a feeling of calm and empowerment that extends into their everyday lives. It also fosters an inclusive community where people of all abilities and backgrounds can share in the healing power of the ocean.

Not at all! Our programs are for everyone, whether you’ve never seen the ocean, are new to swimming, or have surfed for years. We tailor each session to your comfort level and goals to ensure you always feel supported and encouraged. We work one on one to ensure safety of our clients and can provide life jackets for those who need.

Surfing is at the heart of what we do. It’s not just a sport; it’s a way to connect with the ocean, challenge yourself, and have fun. Breaking through fears, learning new skills, and riding waves are powerful ways to build confidence and resilience.
