Not a Retreat. Not a Camp
When you join an Halia Surf trip you don’t book just a surf experience, you become part of a global community of women surfers that share the same values:
Connecting with nature: The ocean teaches us respect, patience, and presence. We surf to connect with nature’s rhythm.
Presence: Surfing demands your full attention—no phone, no distractions, just you and the ocean.
Community: Surfing alone is fun. Surfing with women who push you, support you, and celebrate your progress? That’s transformative.
Progression: Real improvement requires honest feedback, technical coaching, and pushing past your comfort zone. We provide all three.
Authenticity: A real surf experience by real surfers and cultural connections.
Sustainability: We surf because we love the ocean. That means respecting local communities, minimizing our footprint, and leaving places better than we found them.

ABOUT US
Iara & Crispi
Halia was born on our first trip together, improvised and authentic.
We grew up surfing surrounded by guys, and for the first time, having a woman who was a friend, a role model, and a motivation awakened something different in us after a decade of surfing. The feeling of seeing and sharing real surfing with another woman is so powerful, pushing each other’s limits and bringing out the best versions of ourselves.
Those days were so special that we thought, why don’t more women experience this?
COMMUNITY
THE HALIA FAMILY
Halia is a global community of women brought together by a shared passion for surfing. Our surf trips create a supportive environment where women surf together, grow in confidence and build meaningful connections - in and out of the water.
