For me, surfing is more than just a sport—it's my passion. It's about letting go, recharging your batteries, having fun, and sharing great moments with friends.
I love getting people on the board and passing on that passion; seeing the sparkle in their eyes after the first (or hundredth) wave.
My goal:
To offer you a retreat that is not only fun and helps you improve your technique, but also gives you unforgettable moments by the sea with great women.
About Joyride
Joyride Surf Retreats is all about quality, fun, and connection—exclusively for women.
In small groups of a maximum of 6 people, you'll receive tailor-made coaching that meets you where you are at – because I'm not only the organiser of the trips, but also your surf instructor – and your most motivated cheerleader in the water.
What makes my retreats so special? Thanks to the small groups and my know-how, I can offer you the highest quality. Crowded surf spots aren't for me—that's why I deliberately choose locations for my retreats that are still largely unknown. This way, you have the best conditions to surf lots of waves and develop your skills in a relaxed atmosphere. And because I speak several languages, women from all over the world come together—the perfect mix for new friendships, inspiration, and a great atmosphere.

About me
Hi, I'm Lorelei – but most people call me Lolo.
I am your surf instructor and founder of Joyride Surf Retreats.
I am originally from Switzerland, but the sea and the waves lured me to the French Atlantic coast, where I now live.
