turquoise break

personal development & surf retreat in morocco

What is the Turquoise Break about?

Surfing helps us grow in many ways. What we experience, while having fun in the ocean, can be transformed into life lessons. Being present in the very moment, enjoying every second you get of standing on the wave. Navigating challenging uncontrollable environments, where the waves just seem to wash you up. Battling your fears, overcoming challenges and breaking through your limitations.

Turquoise Break is the connection between what happens in the water and your life on the dry land, using surfing as a tool for self-development. One week on the coast in Morocco, community of like-minded people and new opportunities for you personal growth.

Are you ready to let the ocean transform your mindset?

Your Host & Coach

Marina is a life coach, owner of the guesthouse Turquoise Brick, as well as a traveler and surfer.

Her journey began in Sidi Kaouki in 2022, when she first realized that life could be more than the traditional 9-to-5, that work could be filled with both purpose and joy. Driven by her passion for surfing and life by the ocean, Marina set out to live life on her own terms, authentic and non-conformist.

She started by organizing surf camps in collaboration with small local businesses in Morocco. But soon, she realized that if she truly wanted to turn her ocean dream into reality, she had to go all in.

So she did. She packed her life into a VW Transporter and drove along the Atlantic Coast until she found the place. And it turned out to be the very same village where everything began, Sidi Kaouki. Dusty roads, stone walls, and crashing waves. A place where she spent her days peacefully meditating, reflecting on life under the stars, and at other times, facing her fears in the ocean.

Now, she is ready to share that experience with you.

She created Turquoise Break, a surf and personal development retreat, to inspire and empower you to turn your own dreams into reality, right here in the guesthouse Turquoise Brick.
