Train where world-class waves meet intentional progression.
Located in the heart of Popoyo, Malibu is a boutique beachfront surf resort surrounded by more than 10 world-class surf breaks within a short drive, allowing us to match conditions to your level each day.
This immersive SurfLab retreat combines daily in-water coaching, personalised video analysis, and guided sessions in our SurfLab Surf Skate Bowl to help you build speed, control and flow in a consistent, high-quality wave environment.
Through focused coaching on wave selection and line-up positioning, detailed video feedback, and land-based movement training, you’ll refine balance, timing, compression and extension, helping your progress translate both in and out of the water.
