Meet Emma - Your Surf Coach
Speaks English, French, Spanish, Portugnol und ich lerne Deutsch!
Emma’s lifelong passion for nature began in the French Alps and deepened when she moved to Australia and discovered surfing. After learning to surf in 2018, she recognised the unique challenges adult women face and realised that a holistic approach—combining mindset, ocean awareness, and body care—could boost confidence and performance.
Inspired by her own journey, Emma created Lunawave, a space she wished existed when she first started surfing. Certified by the International Surfing Association and trained in mobility and yoga, Emma has honed her skills in Australia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Portugal. At Lunawave, she combines her love for surfing with wellness, crafting a supportive environment focused on rest, nourishment, and self-respect. Her mission is to empower women to strengthen their connection with the ocean—and themselves—while fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
As an environmental scientist, Emma understands the importance of sustainability in and out of the ocean. She is dedicated to creating a sustainable retreat and educating guests on respecting the environment and how to protect it. From mindful resource use to eco-friendly practices, Emma incorporates sustainability into every aspect of Lunawave Retreat.
