Windy, wacky, reflective throw away clips from todays swell w/ @hammered_sam

Slowly working on a short film with Sam, @lukeditella & @mvgleason as of the last few years of gate keeping clips and documenting on every form of film and analog camera imaginable. Maybe I’ll even drop the name of the film soon. Maybe not.

If you’re going to take a week away to surf, why not use that time to actually improve?

That’s really what we’re trying to do with our November retreat in Nicaragua.

You’ll spend plenty of time in the water, but you’ll also get individual coaching from Sam Hammer, video review, and feedback on what you can work on to improve your surfing.

We’ll also spend time on mobility, movement, and some of the physical limitations that might be holding you back.

And with only 6 surfers and 2 coaches, there’s plenty of opportunity for individual attention throughout the week.

We’re staying at an awesome property right at Playa Yankee, with private rooms, great food, and access to some incredible waves.

We still have a few spots available.

Comment RETREAT and we’ll send you the full details.

Did you see Kelly Slater's NJ Halloween swell? The standout moment was when he paddled into a massive set, maneuvering skillfully in a way that left everyone in awe, a feat that remains vividly unforgettable.

A SurfHealth retreat is about a lot more than just going somewhere warm to surf.

It’s a chance to spend a week focused on your surfing and your health, with great waves, surf coaching, daily video, movement and mobility work, and plenty of time in the water.

For Nicaragua, we’ll be staying at the beautiful Orquídea del Sur at Playa Yankee, with private accommodations, all meals, airport transportation and everything else taken care of.

We keep these trips small so everyone gets plenty of attention and it still feels like a surf trip — not a camp.

November 2026. We have 3 spots left

Want in on the trip? Comment “RETREAT” and we’ll send you all the details.

The goal of this retreat is pretty simple.

We want you to leave Nicaragua surfing better than when you arrived.

You’ll spend 5 days getting coached in the water, reviewing video, making adjustments, and then having the opportunity to go back out and work on those things again.

And because we only take 6 surfers, Sam and Jacob can spend a lot of time with each person instead of you getting lost in a big group.

You’ll also work on your movement, mobility, recovery, and the physical side of your surfing so you leave knowing what you need to keep working on when you get home.

Great waves. A ton of surfing. Individual coaching. And a week completely focused on getting better.

We only have 2 of the 6 spots left for November.

Comment RETREAT and we’ll send you the details.

SurfHealth isn’t for everyone. We get that.

If you’re looking for a quick fix or a six-week challenge, we’re probably not the right fit.

But if you want to keep surfing for years to come, stay strong and athletic, recover better, and feel better in your day-to-day life, that’s exactly who we built this for.

The goal has never been to help people surf for one great season.

It’s to help them build a plan, better habits and a body that lets them keep doing what they love for decades.

If that sounds like what you’re after, we’d love to help.

Comment “training” if you want some more information and to see if SurfHealth is a good fit for you.

If you’re serious about improving your surfing, there’s no better way to do it than spending a week completely immersed in it.

We only have a few spots left for our November retreat in Nicaragua at Playa Yankee.

You’ll spend the week surfing an incredible left-hand beach break with daily coaching from Sam Hammer, video review, movement and mobility sessions, and performance training to help you get more out of every session.

On land, you’ll work with performance coach Jacob Russak, who will lead movement, mobility, and training sessions to help you move better, recover better, and get more out of your surfing.

When you’re not surfing, you’ll be staying in a private room with a plunge pool, eating incredible meals, recovering well, and hanging out with a group of surfers who all want to get better.
The trip includes:

• Private room with plunge pool
• Airport transportation
• All meals
• Daily videography and video review
• Surf coaching with Sam Hammer
• Performance coaching with Jacob Russak
• Daily movement and mobility sessions
• Boat trip

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to get away, surf great waves, and head into winter surfing better than ever, this is it.

Comment RETREAT or send us a DM and we’ll send you all the details.

A few weeks ago @hammersurfschool had the privilege of hosting @awalkonwater for our annual event and it was an incredible day. Thank you so much to all who made this possible from the sponsors to the volunteers and most importantly the athletes. I love seeing the same faces help out to provide all of the athletes with a memorable and special surf experience. Year after year it’s the same people realizing that their time is providing an incredible experience for all of the participants and their families. We look forward to next year the moment we leave the beach. photos @russroe by @hammered_sam
