What people are saying…

Eddie & Jen Delaney - Austin, TX/Costa Rica

Derek has an undeniable love for people, the ocean and sharing his passions. His team were also all professionals, upbeat and stoked to share their knowledge and expertises. The guided Breathwork & Meditation sessions are powerful unlike anything I’ve experienced. Naturals at keeping us comfortable surfing new breaks we especially appreciated all the assistance helping us in the line up with catching as many waves as we could each session.
Derek knew how to keep the good vibes going!
Kim Rangimarie Tasker- Certified Yoga Director/Facilitator

"Being a yoga and wellness facilitator myself, I acknowledge the tremendous value in Derek's conscious breathwork and meditation sessions. Derek’s guiding holds the space for others to dive deeper into these doorways of consciousness while making it easily digestible for all involved. If given this opportunity I highly encourage you to give it a go”
Cathleen and Greg Pecchia Corona del Mar, California

“ The experiences Derek Thomas creates stand out among the plethora of available options in both the remote surf travel and wellness retreat industry. He and his team are knowledgable about all things surf related, a pleasure to spend time with , and all naturals in regards to crafting life long memories. Derek is also a very gifted musician and provided us with amazing live music under the stars on several evenings.

“I've had the good fortune of being hosted by Derek and his crew during two epic surf holidays. As is easy with Derek's nature, we have now become close friends and continue discussions on life, spirituality books, art etc.. My surfing and personal growth has improved immensely thanks to his attention and guidance. I have to thank Derek personally on the spiritual guidance he has shared with me.

John Finaly - CEO, World Surfaris
Gaëlle Mesnard - Operation Manager Ocean Divine Safari Yacht- Maldives

With high expectation these type of holidays can be very challenging and demanding. Derek does it with a smile and sincerity that shows how much he enjoys it as well as cares about each guests experience. Everything from organizing daily activities and guest relations to safety briefings, assessing client surf levels bringing them to the various surf breaks and keeping the energy flowing.
Matt R - App designer

I’ve never been a fan of extremely cold water and the first session was definitely a shock to my system. The results however speak for themselves. It leaves me feeling almost elated and extremely relaxed. I can now say that I honor and appreciate the experience for what it has to offer me both mentally and physically! Thank you Derek
