Join our Retreat in Hossegor, France
2. September – 7. September 2025
Santai Co. is back for round two
Join us for the second stop on our 2025 Europe Tour! After Portugal, we’re heading to France – more specifically, the surf hotspot Hossegor, where perfect waves await beginners and advanced surfers alike.
September brings warm water to the French Atlantic coast, so you might not even need a thick wetsuit.
The coastline around Hossegor is packed with surf spots, meaning we’ll always find the perfect wave for our retreat.

We’re Jacky & Rob – a creative duo with over 14 years of experience in the fashion and lifestyle world. What started as a shared love for aesthetics, photography, and social media has evolved into something much deeper over the years: our love for surfing.
Jacky is the face in front of the camera – known for her keen eye and visual style that has made her a sought-after content creator in the fashion space. Rob is behind the lens, capturing those moments where emotion and aesthetics align perfectly. Together, we’ve traveled the world – always chasing the most beautiful backdrops and the most inspiring people.
Two years ago, we discovered surfing. It challenged us physically and transformed us emotionally. For Jacky, the journey wasn’t easy: a deep fear of the ocean and a traumatic moment in the line-up nearly ended it all. But with courage, mental training, and countless hours with our surf coach Koyo, she not only overcame her fear – she became a brave and passionate longboard surfer who doesn’t back down from any wave.
Our journey has taken us to Bali many times – a place that has inspired, challenged, and grounded us. Today, we’re advanced longboard surfers and want to share our story, our experiences, and our vision.
That’s why we’re launching our first Surf & Soul Retreat in Portugal – for women (or couples) who want to learn how to surf and overcome inner barriers. In a safe, supportive atmosphere, we create space for growth, connection, and joy – with a focus on mental health, aesthetics, community, and of course, the ocean.
We truly believe surfing is more than just a sport. It’s a feeling. A transformation. And sometimes, even a new beginning.
Let’s ride this wave together.
