For many, surfing is a spiritual experience. Even many of the topnotch competitive surfers vocally identify with this and in the past several decades, it is more and more common to see spiritual leaders from different religions and areas of the world, participating in a range of wave surfing activities. From boogie boarding rabbis, to longboarding priests, body surfing Buddhist monks and many others, surfing is being recognized more and more as a spiritual experience by people whose daily lives are focused on spiritual practice.

Malibu Ashram SurfShram retreats are typically half or full day experiences for people who want to contextualize time in the almighty ocean’s currents and her powerful waves as a meditative and spiritual practice. These retreats can also be customized to focus on a particular kind of surfing, to be for shorter durations and/or focused on a particular meditative, spiritual or mindfulness practice. We have SurfShram retreats for all levels of surfers from the very beginner to advanced, as well as programs that cater to all levels in one group.

If you would like to surf in the nation’s mecca for surfing at one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the West coast, come to a SurfShram at Malibu Ashram, where we are just steps away from where the ocean meets the sk, and where surfing and spirituality have the potential to become one.
