Join Us for an Unforgettable Weekend of Surfing, Progression & Connection
Wild Coast Collective is excited to announce our upcoming Melbourne Surf Retreat, taking place from 2-4 October 2026 at URBNSURF Melbourne.
Designed for women who want to improve their surfing, build confidence, and connect with an incredible community, this three-day experience combines professional surf coaching, movement, education, and plenty of time in the water.
Whether you're looking to progress your turns, gain more confidence on a wave, or simply immerse yourself in a weekend dedicated to surfing and personal growth, this retreat has been designed with you in mind.
Why URBNSURF?
URBNSURF provides one of the most consistent and progressive surf environments in the world. The controlled wave settings allow surfers to focus on technique, repetition, and confidence without worrying about changing ocean conditions.
This means more waves, more opportunities to learn, and faster progression.
For many surfers, a single weekend at the wave pool can provide the equivalent of months of inconsistent surfing in the ocean.
Meet Your Coaches
Dr Kiri Walden
Dr Kiri Walden is a speaker, nutritionist, former chiropractor, surf coach, and founder of Wild Coast Collective.
A former professional snowboarder and national champion figure skater, Kiri has spent her life pursuing performance, movement, and adventure. Today, she combines her background in health, nervous system education, resilience coaching, and surfing to help people build confidence both in and out of the water.
Kiri's coaching philosophy goes beyond technique. She believes surfing offers a powerful opportunity to develop resilience, self-trust, and connection through movement and challenge.
Her mission is to help people realise they are not defined by their past, their circumstances, or any label they have been given.

Joining the retreat is professional longboarder and surf coach Kirra Molnar.
With years of experience competing at the highest levels of longboarding and coaching surfers of all abilities, Kirra brings a wealth of knowledge, technical expertise, and encouragement to every session.

More Than Just a Surf Retreat
At Wild Coast Collective, we believe surfing is about more than simply standing on a wave.
It's about challenging yourself, learning new skills, reconnecting with your body, and finding confidence through experience.
Our retreats are designed to create an environment where women feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to take on challenges both in the water and in everyday life.
Whether you're chasing your first clean turn or refining advanced manoeuvres, you'll leave with new skills, new friendships, and renewed confidence.
