1. What is RISE ON WAVE ?

At initial phase, RISE ON WAVE is a 5-day, 4-night wellness retreat designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday city life and reconnect with yourself.

Surfing is at the heart of the experience—but this is not a surf school.

We call it Surf Therapy-using the ocean, breathing, movement, and immersive experiences to help you slow down, clear your mind, and reconnect with the present moment.

2. Who is this retreat for ?

This retreat is perfect for anyone feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves—especially professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, or anyone living under constant pressure.

If you’re looking for a meaningful break, want to reconnect with yourself, restore your physical and emotional energy, and return home feeling refreshed and recharged, this retreat is for you.

3. I’ve never surfed before. Can I join ?

Absolutely!

This retreat is specially designed for complete beginners.

Our focus isn’t on becoming a great surfer—it’s about experiencing the ocean in a safe, enjoyable, and mindful way.

Our experienced instructors will guide you step by step, helping you build confidence, understand the waves, and enjoy the journey at your own pace.

4. Can I join the retreat alone ?

Definitely!

Many participants come by themselves.

In fact, travelling solo often allows people to disconnect from familiar routines, reconnect with themselves, and build meaningful connections with others.

You’ll never feel alone here.

5. Can I come with my family ? Can children join ?

Yes.

This retreat is designed as a wellness experience for people of all ages.

Children are welcome, and surfing is a fun activity that families can enjoy together.

Our instructors are experienced in supporting young participants, ensuring they learn safely while having fun.

Having children on the retreat also reminds us to reconnect with the playful spirit that lives within us—no matter how old we are.

6. What should I bring ?

Simply bring:

• Comfortable clothing
• Swimwear
• Personal essentials

We take care of everything else-including surf equipment, accommodation, meals, transportation, and all retreat activities-so you can simply relax and enjoy an effortless journey.

7. Where will the surfing sessions take place ?

Our surf sessions are held at Memories Beach, Phang Nga, one of Thailand’s most well-known beginner-friendly surfing destinations.

Lessons are provided by the experienced local surf team at Memories Surf House, who are passionate about helping people enjoy the ocean safely.

8. Where will we stay ?

You’ll stay at La Solaya Khao Lak Hotel, Phang Nga.

The hotel offers peaceful beach-front accommodation with beautiful sea views, a private and relaxing atmosphere, and is only a few minutes from the surfing beach.

9. What other activities are included besides surfing ?

In addition to surfing, the retreat includes a variety of wellness experiences such as:

• Sound Healing
• Spa & Body Relaxation
• Reflection & Sharing Circle
• Creative Expression
• Gratitude Circle
• Evening Gathering & Social Experience

These activities are designed to help you relax, reflect, connect, and share meaningful moments with fellow participants.

10. What if I can’t attend after I’ve paid? Can I get a refund ?

We do not offer refunds.

However, you may transfer your booking to a future Rise on Wave retreat.

If the future retreat has a higher participation fee than the one originally purchased, you’ll simply need to pay the price difference.
