As it's been a while, an updated introduction ✨

At Ride on Retreats, we’re all about creating a warm, uplifting space for people to reconnect with their youthful spirit and sense of adventure.

We believe that exploring new experiences — like surfing, yoga, or board sports — is one of the most powerful ways to push past personal boundaries and unlock a profound sense of wild joy.

Picture the thrill of catching your first wave, the satisfaction of finding your balance, and the pure excitement of stepping outside your comfort zone.

Each new challenge brings a boost of empowerment that lasts long after you’ve finished your session.

Our experiences are all about embracing adventure, meeting incredible people, and discovering just how remarkable you truly are!

For something different, why not book your company on to one of our Surf Skate sessions? It’s the perfect way to break out of the usual routine, strengthen team bonds, and build a newfound confidence doing something totally unique (the boss’s treat!).

'Get out of your head, and into the moment with us!'

ABOUT THE OTHER WEEKEND…

“Amazing time! Gutted to be going home.”

“It was honestly the most amazing weekend, I had the best time.”

“Everything was perfect. Food, yoga & surf sessions. Definitely will book again next year.”

“It’s been an amazing group and so much fun. Amy & Joki were absolutely wonderful.”

Here are some of the surfing pics from our recent June weekend taken by the lovely .creative and featuring our new rash vests which we love 🩵

The age span ranged from women in their 30’s to their 60’s and proved once again, that mixed generation weekends are an absolute win! They shared lifts, enjoyed walks & talks, painted watercolours and drank the wine after all the surfing and yoga, and our hosts waved them away after three nights with ‘if we could have kept them longer, we would have!’ - what is not to love about that!

We're going to add an early October weekend to get back to Cornwall for a cheeky one, after the summer holidays. Let us know if you're keen and we'll put you on the list!

Total concentration, totally in the moment 💥

I bet if you asked these two guests of ours from last year what was going on in their lives at that time, there would be many a story to tell...

But, for a weekend in September, they came for themselves, got out of their heads, got into the moment and were such awesome guests.

The weekend consisted of yoga sessions, one in the glorious Zen Den, walks down to the beach, surf lessons, hot tubs, beautiful nutritious food, a walk & a swim in a tidal pool, and a mass hair braiding session (as one guest was a total expert), and we were all girls with unruly hair!

I love this photo of the two of them, and what it represents 🩵

This year we’ve been really delving into the idea of 'getting out of your head, and into the moment!’

Last year it was all about ‘getting out of your head, and into the water!’ as our main event was based around surfing.

Coming at it from a beginners perspective (as we’re only 2 years in), and it’s the level at which the majority of our guests are at, there is a huge amount of delight and fun to be had in the white waters, and Cornwall is the perfect place to do exactly that. The smiles on the faces of the guests says it all. Swipe ➡️

You’re getting out of your head, as you’re learning something new. This requires focus, concentration, trial and error and once you’ve gone through your lesson with paddle & pop up technique, it’s time to put it all into practice. With an internal checklist going on, we can promise you that there is no time to think about any of the other things that are taking up space in that racing mind of yours.

And it’s so much fun! At this level you’re never much deeper than waist high in the water, (the green wave surfers are a bit further back) – it’s simply time to feel the power of the water catch your board, take you into the shallows as you pop up, balance and ride that wave!

Studies have revealed that even after 2 mins of being near water you feel calmer.

So for us, we found surfing in a group was a great way to embark on this journey together, cheering each other on and basically, when you off your phone and on a board, you’re having the time of your life!

Our Surf & Yoga weekends are finally on the horizon
💥

There's been a lot of surf skating content recently whilst we wait for the Surf & Yoga weekends to kick off. But the fun is just around the corner...

For those of you who are new here, we took up land based surf skating & skateboarding in January to keep us occupied in the months when we weren't hosting any surf weekends. It's much more accessible, affordable and just as much fun, and it's a very complementary pastime time to our retreat weekends.

Both these board sports are the perfect 'get out of your head, and into the moment!' pursuits, and whilst you think it might not be suited to you, there are so many people taking them up of all ages. Take us as a prime example!

But for now it's time to get you into the mood for some summer surfing, so enjoy these pics come and join us soon 🏄‍♀️✨

Our summer retreat in two weeks time is now sold out but, we are taking bookings for September, October & November and 2025 now!

Catching green waves for the first time!

Having only surfed in the white waters of Cornwall, a trip to The Wave was the perfect next step to try and start catching the next size up.

The transition from white water to a green wave is an intimidating step for a novice, particularly in the sea, as you’re never quite sure what the ocean is going to give you. Knowing that the wave was the right size & the same formation, time and time again was very reassuring in just trying to make this leap.

We started with a lesson, which is highly recommended in understanding the rules of The Wave; paddle up the channel, wait in the line up, only 3 people at a time at the take off point and get yourself in position. Try not to waste too many waves, so that everyone get’s their share.

It all sounds fairly straightforward, doesn’t it?

Well sometimes it was, and other times it wasn’t! 😵‍💫

The only thing that really pays off if practice, practice and more practice. Time in the water is what we all need to progress. And so it was that over the weekend we squeezed in 3-4 sessions, with every hour in the water building upon the lessons, increasing the confidence, and learning from the last wave.

I’m still dreaming and feeling the rise and fall of the unbroken wave, adrenaline and concentration coarsing through my body.

It was such a thrill! Epic pictures from the group in our Waikiki sessions 💙
