About Us

I can highly recommend doing a surf retreat with chris and karen!! You get high class surf coaching from two very experienced surf instructors and also constructive feedback through video analysis and lots of fun surf sessions in. I also really loved the daily yoga classes. I am already signing up for the next retreat and cant wait to surf again with them.

I did a 10 day Surf Coaching Retreat with Chris and Karen. It was all i hoped for: Small group, amazing video analysis, great in and out of water coaching with individualized,focused goal setting (and ongiong re- assessment) and a great, positive, progressive vibe. It's not you average surf course (that you find around the next corner) but structured, progressive training. Even though conditions were sometimes challenging for my skill level, I progressed heaps and it showed at the end of the retreat: Got my two best waves ever during a free surf session after the retreat after a rest day. Wouldn't have been possible without the weeks with Chris and I am really grateful for that. The camp was challenging, with lots of mental inputs and surfing. So if you want to get the most out of it, i suggest to come prepared and put some training in beforehand.

My 5th retreat with Damara surf! Was awesome as always. Can’t recommend these retreats enough!!! I’m progressing so much! I can see it in my videos.

Intermediate retreat in Krui was amazing. Guys have very professional approach. Chris and Karen helped to figure out my mistakes that I didn’t know about and I managed to fix them already during the week and got on a whole new level of surfing and making maneuvers. Now after the retreat I know my next goals and how to achieve them on my own though I would love to join the next level retreat soon. All activities were great including yoga, mobility, stretching and surf-skating. The choice of surf spots was also good in my opinion.

The choice of world class locations, a personalised coaching approach, enriched by Karen's and Chris' true dedication made a difference to my surfing. Overall an excellent experience that differentiates Damara from ordinary surf schools. Build your own opinion. You won't regret it.
