Our Story
Rainbow Surf Retreats was born from a simple idea: everyone deserves to experience the joy of surfing in a safe, welcoming environment.
Founded by passionate surfers and allies, we've been creating unforgettable LGBTQ+ surf experiences since 2015. What started as small gatherings has grown into a global community of wave riders who share more than just a love for the ocean.
We believe that surfing is for everyone, and our retreats are designed to be inclusive spaces where you can learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals from around the world.
