Why Club Shakas runs a price deadline

Retreats have real costs (accommodation, coaches, logistics, food, transport, and all the extra details that make the experience feel effortless for guests).

A price change is normal as costs rise—but Club Shakas also wants to reward women who plan ahead.

So this deadline is designed to be a win-win:

You get the best value by booking early
The team can confirm numbers and run the best possible retreat experience

If you’re new here, Club Shakas is a women-only surf community built on the philosophy fun first, surf second.

How the $500 deposit works

If you book your retreat before Feb 28, 2026, paying a $500 deposit secures your booking and locks in the 2025 price.

For the fine print on payments, see the payment policy page.
