Welcome to Your Surfing Journey

Sea Her Rise is a women’s surf community based in Byron Bay, created for women stepping into their wilder, wiser years. We bring women together through surfing, ocean time and shared experiences that support confidence, connection and a deeper relationship with the sea.

Through women’s surf retreats, surf community days and ocean based gatherings, we create space to reconnect with yourself, move your body, and rise into a new chapter surrounded by women who truly get it.

Testimonials

  • A woman with reddish-brown hair smiling and looking to the side, wearing a black top, standing in front of a textured beige wall.

    I’ve had the pleasure of surfing with these amazing women since beginning my surf journey a couple of years ago. Learning to surf as an adult is challenging in so many ways, but these women have a way of creating a fun, safe, and incredibly supportive environment that makes is easy to laugh at your mistakes and enjoy being in the moment.

  • A woman smiling and leaning against a palm tree at the beach.

    Vanessa and Sherri are such a joy to be around! They are incredibly fun, warm, and supportive, making every moment in the water feel uplifting and special. I truly enjoyed the experience with them. Their energy and kindness make it an unforgettable experience—I can’t recommend them highly enough!

    Tracey Farrell

  • A smiling woman with wet, dark hair, wearing earrings and a patterned shirt, standing outdoors with a cloudy sky in the background.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the personalised instruction by the Sea Her Rise hosts. Even as a beginner surfer I felt fully supported. Vanessa & Sherri were very knowledgeable and encouraging. The surf apnea instruction was really new to me but I felt really safe with Sherri. The food was fresh, plentiful and amazing!

    Margo Madden

  • A woman with blonde hair smiling, wearing a dark gray shirt, standing in front of a yellow background.

    I joined the community surf. All of us sitting out the back supporting one another no matter what our level of surfing. I am nearly 60 and have been surfing since 14 years of age and still find hanging with friends and my newly found friends a "hoot". Encouraging new female older surfers to brave the waves is something I embrace. We all learn from each other, not just surfing, but the sharing of wisdom and our life experience

    Karen Barnard

  • Vanessa and Sherri are fabulous, enthusiastic individuals who love and respect everything the Ocean has to offer. They are knowledgeable and helpful and will be sure to make your surf time memorable and engaging, setting you on the path towards full surf enlightenment 😊
