Improve your surfing with our Cosmic Cross Step longboard retreat!

This retreat is designed for surfers of all levels who are looking to improve their longboarding skills. Those who are just starting to surf, those who have been surfing for awhile and are looking for extra help to improve their take off, turning, wave reading, or start exploring walking down the line, as well as more advanced loggers who are looking to perfect their cross-step, hang ten, and do so in stunning empty lineups.

*must be able to catch own waves*

At Cosmic Cross Step, guests gain new skills and confidence on a longboard and have fun doing it! We will review the foundations of longboarding and move through each day building new skills while getting more comfortable with the rhythm of the ocean. Our smiling and talented coaches will lead surf theory lessons on land and provide daily video analysis discussions. We believe video analysis is one of the best ways to truly build new habits in the surf. Topics you can expect to learn include: proper paddling and pop-up technique, how to read the waves and choose the best wave, where to position yourself on the wave, how to turn down the line, how to cut back, when to start walking, how to cross-step and nose ride, how to find the high-line and low-line, the most effective body positioning and increase body awareness, and other useful tricks. We will also discuss different board sizes, styles, fins, etc. and how to pick the perfect board for you! Whether you’re a long time longboarder or just getting started, we’d love to have you with us dancing through the waves.

A lot of growth that happens in the water comes from practice on land. One of our other favorite things to share is the power of land drills, especially when it comes to building deeper body awareness in the water. 

You can expect the surf coach and local guides to help you catch waves, maximize performance on the wave, choose the best wave, and know what to do when the wave has finished.

Experience the power of video analysis

While surfing, we will be shooting professional photos and videos to be used for video analysis and as souvenirs from the trip. Throughout the week, we will provide 5 analysis sessions of each surfer in the group. In these sessions, the coach will break down the waves and highlight areas that were done well, where adjustments can be made, and specific tips to help surfers work towards their goals. We believe watching yourself is one of THE best ways to progress in the water. You are able to see with your own eyes what you’re doing and how you can do it even better!

Unwind and restore your mind, body, & soul

At IndoSurfcrew we know and value the importance of rest and recovery. Our retreats include a variety of body movement sessions, meditation, and stretching to support your mind and body in the waves. Depending on the practitioners with us on each retreat you will encounter different movement practices such as restorative yin yoga, chi gong, breathwork, and other mobility movements to give your muscles time to release after daily paddling. This paired with yoga nidra or visualizations will provide your mind with time to relax and unwind as well. In addition to improving your surf skills we hope you will also leave with a calm, healthy, and happy soul.

Integrate with the local community

At Cosmic Cross Step we believe in the importance of leaving a place better than we found it and respecting the local communities around us. We aim to do our part to give back through beach clean ups, participating in locally run eco-tourism initiatives, or providing whatever else the nearby communities need. We are visitors to these lands and are here to learn and give, rather than just take.
