Welcome to the Goldies Surf Gang 2026: A Special Week for Women Over 60
Welcome to a surf camp where you set the pace. This is a space to feel supported, empowered, and completely at home in the water—exactly as you are. Here, confidence grows steadily, curiosity leads the way, and the joy of the ocean always comes before performance.
In September 2026, the Goldies Surf Gang gathers on Fuerteventura, our beloved home base. Our surf sessions take place in small, intimate groups at carefully selected beaches, focusing on the gentle conditions perfect for learning and refining your skills. To ensure the highest level of personal care, we limit the group to just four participants, offering a premium 1:2 coaching ratio in the water.
Our coaching is adaptive and unhurried, leaving plenty of room for rest, recovery, and meaningful connection—both on land and in the sea.
Who is this for?
This camp is specifically designed for women aged 60 and over, including absolute beginners and experienced surfers. Whether you are a seasoned ocean lover or catching your very first wave, you are welcome here.
- Dates: 19 – 26 September 2026
- Location: Fuerteventura, Canary Islands (Spain)
- Designed for: Women aged 60+
- Group Size: Exclusive small group (max. 4 participants)
- Fee: €1,480 (Scholarships available)
A Space for Quiet Courage & New Horizons
Our aim is to offer a surf experience designed specifically for women aged 60+ who are curious, active, and open to new horizons. We believe this stage of life holds immense space for movement, learning, and fresh perspectives—and it deserves experiences that truly reflect that potential.
The Goldies Surf Gang creates a setting where exploring and gently stepping outside one’s comfort zone feels safe and supported. Surfing becomes a way to build confidence through experience, not performance. By keeping our groups small, choosing calm ocean conditions, and providing clear, expert guidance, we lower both practical and emotional barriers. (To ensure this experience is accessible to all, scholarships are also available when needed.)
What we hope you take home is more than just time in the ocean. We want this week to feel like a gift to yourself. A chance to feel capable, relaxed, and deeply connected. It’s about forming new friendships, sharing moments of pure joy, and leaving with a sense of quiet courage that extends well beyond the beach.
