To surf well,
you have to
live well.
Surf experiences, coaching and community with CJ Nelson and Mark Campbell.
Vol. 01 — Retreats
Surf. Talk. Eat. Repeat.
Days built around surfing, honest conversation and shared meals. All levels welcome — including beginners, and people coming for the experience more than the surfing.
On the road: traveling and weekend retreats are a future format we're exploring — not scheduled events yet.

Vol. 02 — Go With a Pro
One surfer.
One coach.
Private guiding and coaching, separate from the group retreats. Surf with a local pro in Panama, or with CJ in Santa Cruz — focused entirely on your surfing.

Mentorship is the most personal way to work with Loose Change — ongoing, one-on-one, across surfing and the life around it.
Details are shared on inquiry rather than published here.

Vision
What do you want this to be?
Vision sets the role surfing — and life — is being asked to play. It gives the work a horizon, flexible enough to change as you do.
