    Description

    We’re a Surf & Stay resort on Black Beach, Varkala, surrounded by waves, nature, and good energy.

    Life here is simple, soulful, and deeply connected to surf culture and community.

    We believe surfing is more than a tourist activity
    it’s a sport, a lifestyle, and a way to connect with the ocean.

    Our space is built on peace, creativity, and genuine human connections.

    If you’re looking for a place to surf, share skills, meet inspiring people, and live close to nature, we’d love to have you join us 🌊✨

    Surf, Shoot & Create 🌊📸
    Your day begins early, chasing first light. We jump into our car, head to the surf spot, and start the session.

    You surf, float, click photos, shoot videos, and capture the raw energy of the ocean and the people in it.

    We come back, share breakfast, and slow things down. You sort the shots, send smiles to guests through their photos, and later turn moments into reels. this is where your creativity flows.

    Once you’re comfortable in the water, you may also lend a hand to surfers who need a little extra support.

    I’ve volunteered at many places myself, so I know how powerful or disappointing it can be. This is not free labour.

    This is about creating something meaningful together and making sure you leave with great waves, real connections, and memories that stay with you 🤍🌊
