Experience a weekend of surf and soul on the Mornington Peninsula
Learn to ride a wave then relax and rejuvenate with Surf and Soul weekends, run by former pro-surfer Jodie Smith. Formerly held along the Great Ocean Road, these tours have recently moved to the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and cater for all levels of wealth and fitness.
Renowned for its stunning beaches, Mornington Peninsula offers both gentle bay beaches and wild waves on the ocean side. Surf and Soul customises surf and health retreats in the area for each participant, offering private stays or scheduled retreat.
Accommodation ranges from luxury cottages and ocean view houses to bunk houses and a motel facility. Participants simply decide what suits their taste and budget.
Jodie Smith, who was a professional surfer for 10 years, is now a qualified surf coach and nutritionist. Her Surf and Soul team includes other experienced women surfers, qualified yoga teachers, nutritionists, and massage therapists.
The basic daily schedule begins at 7am with freshly squeezed lemon and ginger tea, followed by an awakening yoga session, then a cleansing fresh juice, a tasty healthy breakfast, and straight into a surf session before lunch. The option to visit the hot springs and have a rejuvenating massage is available in the afternoon.
Sunday begins with another 7am yoga session followed by a buffet breakfast and surf lesson at 10am before checking out.
The cost is $450 for the full retreat. This includes two nights' accommodation, two surf lessons and equipment, two yoga sessions, and three meals.
The dates for ypcoming overnight retreats are:
- 1 - 3 February
- 21 - 23 March (Easter)
