Soul Surfing, Port Macquarie
Surf and Life Educators: surf school, surf lessons for beginner to advanced. Surf camps and retreats
Even though the heart and soul of Soul Surfing is far from home away on our winter break, our hearts are with you all at home. Especially to the beautiful McKenzie family we know and honour. Having experienced the trauma ourselves nearly a year ago of these incidents but thankfully saved from the life long reality, we hold you deeply in our healing vibrations. It’s a long road to recovery and we pray you have the strength and it’s so great to see the support.
Thank you to the surfing community for standing behind this wonderful family who have given much to the local surf scene. We stand with you even if a long way away currently. Oceans of blessings to you all.
Our sacred and special playground is raw and alive, and sometimes challenging. It’s hard when it is. X
This video is the one I did right after Toby to help soothe the rattled soul. X
So who won the shelter building challenge?
1. 2. Or 3.?
Another great Fab Fun Day had. See you next holidays for more surfing and adventures.
The beach challenges, surfing, hydro golf and putt putt were all heaps of fun today.
Thanks kids!
Surf and earth….just a delight.
Thanks kids and Homegrown Organics - Masters of Fresh for the great Fab Fun Day had today. We all went home smiling (and smelling a little smokey!).
Bring on joy next Tuesday 16th!!!
Never too late to join the fun!
This little ripper of a chick who we adore, has her game face going. Why?
She’s painted up her new board and is ready to give the NSW State Surfing Titles (junior) a crack! Let’s hope the chequered flag look gets her a few chequered flag feels! At least 1 as I miss seeing her surf Thursday so want her to make it to Saturday surfing at least! Good luck in Coffs Avalon!!!
WHAT’S ON MY MIND YOU ASK? Here’s what!
Surfing, campfire, food and games……sound good? All on a day full of sun expected.
It sure will be. This Thursday Fab Fun Day heads from surfing at the beach to the plains. On the farm we will have our usual wonders and joys of bush and garden living with the Masters of Fresh.
9am-3pm 11th July. $85 for a great day! Spaces remain! 0428480266!
So what happens after the fun of surfing?

Found this in my emails today. Great wisdom from Lakota. My mother line ancestry stems from Lakota Sioux.
Thank you Nick Polizzi for the wonderful reminder ……
Sometimes all that's needed to shift our reality is a little wisdom, spoken to us with gentleness and a pure heart. I came across this powerful Lakota prayer a few days ago and wanted to share it with you. I hope it helps you on your path. I know it did for me.
Lakota Prayer
Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.
According to certain traditions, the Sacred Space is the space between exhalation and inhalation. To Walk in Balance is to have Heaven (spirituality) and Earth (physicality) in harmony.
At the core of this timeless wisdom is the word "trust". When did we stop trusting ourselves? When did we start giving that trust, that power, away?
In many ways the healing path is a process of reestablishing that trust with the infinite that resides within us, just waiting to be activated.
A Potent Spiritual Ally
While we're discussing matters of the soul and how to access higher consciousness, there's a powerful ally that many (including myself) use regularly in meditations and rituals.
For thousands of years, essential oils have been utilized to create sacred space and relax the mind so one can fully let go.
There are a number of essential oils that you can use for this purpose, such as bergamot, cedarwood, frankincense, sandalwood and palo santo (my favorite). They can be diffused (using an oil diffuser) or simply rub a few drops in between your hands, cup them over your nose, and inhale.
Different oils evoke different sensations and "inner knowings" -- and the experience is always unique to the individual. So experiment!
Oh so sad! Surfing and yoga is so blissful compared to this. Compassion and gratitude to you all x
Thank you universe! Planned the Fab Fun Day perfectly. No problem with the weather at all!
Indoor stadium, scavenger hunt, beach play and surf. We had a great day!
July 11th and 16th are set to be just as wonderful. Spaces remain so book your kids stoke today! 0428480266 or www.soulsurfing.com.au

So what did you do on Friday night?
Loren swapped the surfboard and yoga mat for a great cause! Raising well over her target and stepping in front of an audience of 300+ to keep on giving.
She gave the traditionally gentle and restricted lines of boot scooting she was handed her best energy. Had a blast doing it! Here’s Corey’s video of the action! Enjoy!
A fabulous event with a wonderful energy and performances from a great bunch of people. Fond memories for a lifetime. Loved it! Thanks Di for sharing your line dancing circle of love with me. And thanks all for your support along the way!
Some snippets of such good times enjoying our special WOW (Weekends on Waves) weekly adults surf group weekend away. Always full of love, laughter and good food. Thanks gang for the great times and good waves x

UNLEASH THE FUN AND POWER OF SURF, EARTH AND PLAY!
AFTER SCHOOL SURF AND EARTH ON BIRPAI COUNTRY!
Too big too surf….but not too big to stop us enjoying a wonderful afternoon in nature. The connection of all kinds was a delight!
The video didn’t do it justice. But the search found us at the most likely best firing spot for the weekend.
6’-8’ easily out the back of the point and some running all the way in today.
Cleaner 4’-5’ barrels on offer to the crew more inside the point today before the incoming tide stopped it being a little choppy.
2’-5’ for the rest of the weekend. I snagged a couple then.
The videographers out in force. Jack Robinson and several other talents all over it.
Including our Imojen and Corey giving it a good crack and Xan our surrogate son tearing it up for over 4 hours!
On Bundjalung country. 🙏
Into the Ozzie Wilderness with our surrogate son from Spain. What a delight. More fun and journeys to come. If you see another kid shredding harder and better than me (not hard) with us in the surf say Hi! Opa!! Loves everything that Kayle loves, so the same but quieter! 😂
I asked one of our salty mob to find three things she’s grateful for in an instant. Keep this perspective alive in your heart 💜
Walking this beautiful, gentle post new moon afternoon I gave myself the same challenge. So easy!!! I made 4 within the minute
1. Sunsets and sunrises (glorious energy)
2. Surfing and salt water magic
3. Our growing strength and awareness to the wisdom and importance of our First Nations people and culture.
4. The joy of dance, community and music
What are yours in this instant as you read this?
Taking the new Smoothstar for a spin.
A little tighter than our usual ones to get used to, but oh so smooth.
Time for some more training sessions I can feel in my wheels! Who’s keen?
Taking the new Smoothstar wheels for a spin.
A little tighter than the old ones to get used to, but oh so smooth!
Hope to be seeing a few of our regular surfers on them again soon.
Time for another session hey?
WOWEE! Where do I start!!!
Gratitude to ALL that came, ALL that donated, ALL those that gave their hearts, minds and wallets to this fabulous event.
Emma and Kathryn from Strive Financials sure know how to throw a party.
And we raised $6500+ for charity!!!
Enjoy the photos. What a great night even when the skies thought they were the ocean. What fun we had!
Up next - the Stars of Hastings Dance night!
Magic winter warmers.
Water is delicious, waves are good, wetsuits steaming! What’s not to love about days like today in After School Surfing! Yeeew
Weekend WOW and After School make up magic this weekend. A great time to be alive….and surfing 🏄🏽♀️ 🏄🏿♂️ 🏄🏽
There are so many people to dance the Stars of Hastings 2024 for. So many sadly. But I chose this young man as my main star. Lewis.
Look at him smiling and loving on others as he was mid 3 brain tumours and a intensive cell kill off spanning 3-4 years of his very young adult life.
I’m so grateful he is travelling all the way from Wollongong to be at my fundraising event. He’s already preparing his speech to give amongst the canapés, dancing with Alter Ego, drinks and raffles and auctions.
Will you come out and help support me to help support others? Please! Grab your friends and come and dance from sunset into the night at Flynn’s.
KIDS WELCOMED FREE AND 32 FABULOUS PRIZES UP FOR GRABS (thanks community)
Dive into the rhythm of generosity at our beach party fundraiser!
Enjoy a free drink on arrival as you sway to live music and savour delectable canapés.
We have some major prizes up for grabs with raffles, games, auctions and more! Let’s make waves together to fight cancer, one joyful step at a time!
Your presence matters - join us for a beachside bash with purpose!

7 years of service to our surf school. A natural born leader. Highly loved by so many families over so many years. None more so than Corey and myself.
The kids, the families, the men and of course the women, will all miss him.
His skill set will take him far. So excited for his adventure to surf coach in Spain (and a little teary) before the open roads of Europe become home for a while.
Luckily his sisters and all of us in the surf school will shine on. But Europe claim one bright star this week. Thank you for all you’ve brought to so many lives here in Port. Have fun Kayle and enjoy the ride. In and out of the water 🌊 🏄🏿♂️ 💚
