Surf Progress Retreat Panama

Surf Progression Retreat

8 Days of Expert Coaching for Intermediate Surfers
March 8 - 16, 2027

Who is this retreat for

This retreat is exclusively designed for intermediate surfers who want to maximize their time in the water, get the most out of a limited vacation, and experience a variety of surf spots across Panama rather than spending their entire trip surfing the same wave.

For this reason, we bring together surfers of a similar level and focus on waves that are best suited for surfers ready to move beyond the basics and work on the technical aspects that lead to real progression. Through personalized coaching and video analysis, you’ll improve faster and gain more confidence in the water.

Rather than surfing crowded, mainstream destinations, we’ll explore uncrowded waves and hidden gems across Panama, giving us the luxury of focusing on what matters most: catching more waves and accelerating your progression.

Meet your Coach
Laurent

For the full 8 days, you’ll surf and learn directly alongside Lorenzo, a coach who has dedicated his life to surfing and helping others progress in the water. As a French state-certified surf coach with more than 25 years of coaching experience, Lorenzo teaches according to the same professional standards used in Europe. Since moving to Panama in 2007, he has spent nearly two decades exploring the coastline, studying the conditions, and surfing countless breaks throughout the country.

More importantly, Lorenzo believes that surfing is about much more than technique. His goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of the ocean, giving you the confidence to surf new waves, adapt to different conditions, and continue progressing long after the retreat ends.
