About Nalu
A surf community for women at every stage of their journey.
The ocean has a way of meeting you exactly where you are.
For some women, that’s standing on a surfboard for the very first time, nerves loud, excitement even louder.
For others, it’s returning to the water with experience already under their belt, knowing there’s more potential to unlock, more confidence to build, and another level to reach. Nalu Retreats was created for all of these and everyone in between.
Founded on the belief that surfing can be both empowering and deeply transformative, Nalu is a space where women of all abilities come together, not to prove anything, but to grow. To challenge themselves gently. To reconnect with the ocean, their bodies, and their own sense of capability. This is not about perfection or performance. It’s about progression.
What makes Nalu truly special goes beyond the surf.
It’s the shared energy of women showing up for themselves.
The conversations that flow between sessions.
The confidence that builds quietly, one wave at a time.
Nalu Retreats exists to help women release fear, trust themselves and step into something they may have once thought was out of reach. Surfing is the vehicle, but the transformation extends far beyond the water. Whether you’re chasing your first wave or your next breakthrough, you belong here.
Who We Are
Hello!Biba - Certified Surf Coach
Biba has been immersed in sport and the ocean from a young age, starting her surfing journey at just five years old. After pursuing a professional career in snowboarding, she returned to the ocean and noticed a clear lack of women in the water — and even fewer spaces designed to truly support them.
With extensive experience working alongside some of Australia’s top junior surfers, Biba has developed coaching programs specifically designed for women, focusing on confidence, capability and genuine progression. She is a Level 2 Surfing Australia certified coach with a deep passion for sport, the ocean and empowering women to realise just how strong and capable they already are.
Charlie - Certified Personal Trainer
Charlie brings a strong background in personal training and a powerful philosophy: move to feel good, not to look good. She believes that strength looks different on everyone and that confidence grows when women feel connected to their bodies, not pressured by unrealistic expectations.
After running her own personal training business for five years, Charlie now balances her love for movement with her role as a primary school teacher. A passionate ocean lover and longboard surfer, she is the heart and brain behind Nalu — driven by a genuine desire to help women reconnect with their strength, confidence and sense of self.
