Swell Sisters
SWELL SISTERS
WOMEN-FOCUSED WEEK
Surfing can still feel like a male-dominated space, and stepping into the lineup as the only woman can be intimidating. Swell Sisters was created to change that.
These dedicated women’s weeks offer a supportive, confidence-building environment where you can learn, progress, and connect with like-minded women who share a love for the ocean.

“I had a very positive, holistic experience during Swell sisters week. The quality of the personalized coaching with video footage and the ongoing dedication to your learning goals was outstanding. I felt truly respected by my coach as a surfer even as a beginner, both in the water and while learning surfing theory, and how to read conditions/waves. In less than a week, I was able to progress exponentially with each session and build a deep sense of confidence knowing exactly what and how I could continue to improve my technique”

“Whether you’re a beginner surfer or more experienced, Tiny Whale Surf Lodge offers a top-notch surfing experience for everyone! High-quality and varied lessons, personalized attention, and above all, plenty of enthusiasm and support from the surf coaches. The lodge is a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy your holiday after you’ve catched some waves. And there, too, you’ll be spoiled: delicious food, cocktails, and more.”

“The coaches are incredible. They don’t just push you into waves — they teach with intention. They explain the why and the how, break down technique step-by-step, and celebrate progress like it’s a victory every time. When I struggled, they never once made me feel embarrassed or behind. They encouraged me, coached me, and made every attempt feel like growth.
And the camp itself? Unreal.”

loved everything about my experience at Tiny Whale. The staff – from the coaches to the chefs and everyone else I encountered – welcomed us all with warmth and care. The surf coaching provided exactly what I was looking for. The lodge offered beauty and relaxation (much needed after all the surfing!). And wow, the food – Amazing! I hope to return next year and fully recommend!
