Soul & Surf

We offer soulful surf and yoga breaks in Kerala, Sri Lanka and the Algarve. www.soulandsurf.com The result is that we‘re not really sure what to label ourselves.

We set up shop in 2010 to offer an alternative to the pile ‘em high sell ’em cheap surf camps. We choose original locations, we set our standards high, we hire brilliant staff and we offer so much more than just surf lessons and surf guides. Our yoga, pranayama, meditation, massage, cafe and music programmes are not just hastily bolted on to tick the marketing boxes, they are the Soul of Soul & Su

rf. And we work hard to present this all in a very down to earth way so it seems like we don’t work too hard. We’re not really a surf camp, we’re not serious enough to call ourselves a (Surf & Yoga) Retreat, or a Wellness Retreat. I guess we’re just a bunch of feel-good people who like some Soul with their Surf, or some Surf with their Soul

Originally from the UK, Indie’s journey has taken her from interior design studios to off-the-beaten-track coastlines. From working at sea in remote Australia to crossing the Atlantic, travelling through the Arctic Circle and most recently, to Antarctica with the British Antarctic Survey – her story is one of curiosity, chance encounters and a deep connection to the ocean.

Indie became a part of the Soul & Surf family in 2021, whilst volunteering in the Portugal location; now four years later, we sit down together at Soul & Surf Sri Lanka to talk about how it all began, what the ocean means to her, and what “soul” looks like when you’ve seen the edges of the world.

In 2025, our guests' stays helped plant 2342 trees.
Across Sri Lanka, India and Portugal.

We did this with .earth , supporting rewilding projects that care for entire ecosystems, not just numbers.

It’s not something we shout about much.
But travel has an impact, and we feel a responsibility to acknowledge it and respond in a way that feels thoughtful and long-term.

Climate Action is one of our primary goals.
Planet sits alongside People and Profit, not beneath them.
We’re learning as we go, doing what we can, and trying to do it with care.

2018. Varkala.
Kit, on a soft board, arms out, learning balance one wobble at a time.

2025. Sri Lanka.
Same Kit. Same curiosity.
Now properly flying down the line.

We’ve watched him grow up between sets, seasons, places.
Not milestones. Just mornings, waves, and time doing its thing.

Some stories feel less like content
and more like life happening around us.

2026 at Soul & Surf.
A last dance in India.
A Sri Lankan gem hidden in plain sight.
And something growing in Portugal.

Holding space for a last dance in India
Looking quietly forward to what’s next -
And what’s already growing.

For .magnetubo, Soul & Surf has always been about connections - to people, to places and to the ocean. What began as a chance meeting and a cancelled flight became a decade-long journey of friendship, surf and community.
It’s a reminder that when you take a chance on something that excites you, good things tend to follow.
