We don't send you somewhere.
We come with you.
Most operators hand you a booking and wish you luck. We do the opposite. We pick the coast because we've surfed it. We choose the stay because we've slept there. And we're on the ground the whole week, handling the transfers, the food, the things that go sideways, so your group thinks about one thing: the waves.
Host. Curate. Produce.
Three things, and we don't hand any of them off.
Host
On the ground with you, start to finish. Not a rep, not a partner agency. Us.
Curate
The right coast, the right stay, the right coaches. Nothing off-the-shelf, nothing booked from a screen.
Produce
Logistics, food, vendors, content, side programming. All of it, handled, and we stay responsible for it.
Four steps, from first call
to last wave
Brief
Tell us about the group, the occasion, the budget, and anything that's fixed: dates, numbers, must-haves. We come back with first thinking within a few working days.
Concept
One or two directions: where to go, where to stay, a draft programme, and a budget you can actually plan around.
Production
Contracts, coaches, transfers, vendors, content, side programming. We line it all up, and we stay responsible for all of it.
On location
We're there the whole time. After the trip, a debrief, and the full content if that was part of it.
Different reasons to go.
Same people behind it.
Six ways groups come to us. Every one of them gets built from scratch.
Team trips & company retreats
Get the team out of the meeting room and into the water. Surf is the great leveller. Everyone starts as a beginner at something, and that changes how a group works together. We handle the stay, the coaching, the food, the logistics. You bring the team.
Best for: 8–25 person company trips, leadership weeks, and team retreats.
Plan a team trip →Surf training camps
Serious water time for clubs, federations and athletes. High training volume, the right waves for the level, and everything off the water handled, so the group thinks about one thing only. We build these end to end, from the swell windows to the recovery.
Best for: 2-week to 3-month training programmes for groups of 6–20.
Inquire about a camp →White-label retreats
A complete retreat, run by us, sold under your name. Stays, coaching, logistics, programming, all built to your standard and delivered to your clients. They get a seamless week. Your guests never have to know we're behind it.
Best for: travel agencies, brands and operators who want a turnkey retreat to offer their own clients.
Partner with us →Celebrations & events
Big moments worth gathering for: milestone birthdays, anniversaries, micro-weddings, surf wedding weekends. The surf gives the days a rhythm; the occasion sets the tone. We produce the whole thing, you stay in the moment.
Best for: 20–40 guest celebrations across a long weekend or full week.
Discuss a celebration →Brand & content trips
Content-led trips with talent, athletes or creators. We handle the coast, the stays, the surf direction, the fixers, the on-location production. You walk away with the footage, and a trip the team actually enjoyed.
Best for: brand activations, athlete trips, and creator retreats.
Discuss a brand trip →Custom productions
Doesn't fit a box? Most of our best work didn't either. If you've got a group, a reason, and a feeling that surf belongs at the centre of it, tell us. We'll figure out the rest.
Best for: anything multi-destination, multi-week, or built around a specific brief.
Send a custom brief →Four continents, one standard
Wherever we take a group, we bring the same thing: local partners, stays we trust, coaches we've surfed with, and someone on the ground throughout.

A birthday retreat on the
Portuguese Coast
- The briefA milestone birthday celebrated with 12 friends. An active bunch, but most of them had never surfed before. A full week of surfing, exploring, relaxing and spending quality time together.
- What we builtThe perfect combination of nature and city life. A few days of exploring Lisbon, eating their way around the city, staying in a personal boutique sanctuary in the middle of it, with a full itinerary of original walking routes, museum visits and the best hospitality the city has.Then we moved to a private surf villa on the Sintra coast. Daily surf sessions, relaxing yoga classes, a private chef cooking up a daily feast, and a programme to explore the area.
- What they didMorning surf sessions, big breakfasts, yoga, Sintra by tuktuk, a pottery class, and a birthday celebration personalised from beginning to end.
Two of us. One phone number.
We're Jonne and Marthe. Mokum Surf Club started as a surf travel blog. Years on the road, reviewing hotels professionally and writing about the best waves in the world. Then we stopped writing about other people's places and ran our own: a surf hotel at the end of a dirt road in Costa Rica. So when we tell you a stay is worth it, there's a lot of mileage behind that judgement.
- You talk to us, not to a desk.The person who answers your first message is the person standing on the beach with your group. No handover, no account manager, no "let me check with the team".
- We build from places we know.Wherever we can, we've surfed the wave and slept in the bed before we put you in it. Where we haven't been ourselves, we lean on people who live there, and we'll tell you which is which.
- We say no more than we say yes.If a date is too tight, a coast is wrong for your group, or the budget won't buy what you're picturing, you'll hear it straight away. That's cheaper for everyone than finding out later.
- Nothing off the shelf.Every trip gets built from the brief up. It's slower for us and better for you, and it's the only way we know how to do this.
The people behind every trip
We work direct with teams, brands and federations, and behind the scenes with the people who make a trip actually run. Local coaches who grew up on the wave. Boutique stays we'd book ourselves. Private chefs, photographers, fixers, event producers. Chosen per trip, never off a list.
For agencies, brands and operators, we also produce white-label: your retreat, your name, our work on the ground. Most of that work sits under NDA, which is exactly why partners keep using us.
Questions groups ask us
The honest answers, before you have to ask.
What does a bespoke trip cost?
How far in advance should we book?
How big can a group be?
What's actually included?
Who's responsible if something goes wrong?
Can you run it under our brand?
How does payment work?
We don't know where we want to go. Is that a problem?
Do you handle photo and video?
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly on WhatsApp. We answer ourselves, usually the same day.
You bring the group.
We handle the rest.
Tell us who's coming, what the occasion is, and roughly when. We'll come back within a few days with first directions. No commitment, no pressure.
Start your brief →Start your brief
The more you give us, the sharper the first thinking comes back. Rough dates and a ballpark headcount are enough to start. We'll fill in the rest together.
