Trip Tips
Arrive a few days earlier
Arriving before the retreat begins is really recommended. It provides time to unwind, get familiar with the surroundings, and settle in comfortably. You can contact us directly to get some tips on where to stay.
We have epic longboards
We provide you with quality longboards during your surf trip. We want you to come stress free that's why we include and offer the surfboards for free in all our retreats. From 9'2 to 9'6, we'll make sure to find the perfect match for your surf trip.
Prepare yourself to enjoy your trip 100%
Each surfing session is a journey itself. During this JAVA G-land adventure, we will be surfing a lot and enjoying adventures in Nature. You might be living a very busy life at home and only little time for yourself or your body is not used to being outside, surfing everyday. We highly recommend you to walk, surf or train a little bit 2 to 3 month prior the retreat. Include it in your daily routine. This will make you feel empowered and strong, ready to enjoy each wave together. Remember : the way you feel is more important than the way you look, it is not about looking fit, but rather feeling fit in your mind body and soul ! It can be walking 3 times per week, taking some air, slowing down for yourself. Going to the gym twice a week to prepare yourself so you can enjoy this adventure to the fullest.
Reviews
This retreat has been such an amazing, supporting, insightful group. I learned so much in such a short time, lessons that not only apply to the waves but life's challenges, ups and downs, and even the quiet moments. I have taken all of Ana's advice and will think of this experience with a smile and ray of sunshine in my heart forever.
Julie
Ana and the boys have such a special style of retreats. They truly hold the power to change people's lives for the better, to let me be my true self and let me surf my heart out. I will remember this week forever and ever !
Lexi
It's impossible to overstate how impactful this week has been. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the kindness, wisdom, patience, hospitality and energy the team has shared with me and the group. After 7 short days, i'm a much better surfer. More importantly though, i'm a better version of myself thanks to Ana and her team, thanks to this experience. So much love for what you create !
Alex
I came here expecting to learn how to "surf" but i leave with friends for life, regaining myself, my zest for life and a new way to lean into what life presents to me. I am eternally grateful for Ana and the boys for their patience, their ability to hold space and the care they show for us and each other. Anais created " facing blank pages', now my pages are full of JOY and HAPPINESS. Forever grateful for this soulful experience HOiiiiii yaaaaaa
Jane
When beautiful souls & minds come together, you get Facing Blank Pages. A space to play, to feel, to be free for a moment in time, I'm so grateful for this experience that inspired me to create a life of kindness and laughters. It helped me to come out of my shell. There is so much magic happening behind all the surfing sessions, i felt freaking alive, flowing and connected to epic humans. Thank you so much team
Lauren
I had the best time here in Lombok. The retreat helped me to feel truly alive again, to play and have fun without apologizing. I arrived so burned out, and now i am so silly, loose and myself again. All of it was the best BLISS, and it is such a gift. Deeply grateful for this experience. I'll be back soon !
Vicky
What an epic week, it was an ultimate reminder for me of the goodness of people. I arrived burned out from work, in such challenging times, it was the best gift to connect with like minded souls and be able to feel alive all together, having the most fun in and out of the water.
