sea state

your love for the ocean deserves a home.

Sea State is a community for women who surf - where surf progression, belonging, and devotion to the ocean come together. A place to find your surf anchor, trust your own path, and experience surfing as a source of confidence and joy.

Inside you’ll get personalized support, technique coaching, video analysis, workbooks, resources, workshops, live calls, guest speakers, and a private community platform with women who care about the ocean and want to keep showing up for surfing (and themselves) as much as you do. 

This is more than surf coaching. It’s support, reflection, accountability, and real connection -  so you can grow as a surfer in community, in a way that feels nourishing, grounded, and sustainable.

You don’t have to figure out surfing alone. All levels, all surfboards welcome.

Open to a small community - 25 spots available for the founding cohort.

“Through Sea State, I found something I didn’t even realize I was missing: a surf anchor. A purpose that runs much deeper than progression or simply getting better for the sake of getting better.

Through setting surf intentions, the workbooks, resources, support from Maddy, the Sea State retreat, and being surrounded by other women, I started to understand what surfing really means to me. It’s the aliveness, the confidence, the power, the strength, the energy. Those are the reasons I show up for myself through surfing.

Sea State helped me uncover that deeper, emotional truth. And when you surf from that place, the ego melts away. What’s left is pure positive energy, joy, and gratitude. That’s what Sea State has given me: a completely different relationship with surfing, and a deeper connection to the vital life force I get from being in the ocean.”

this is a rebellion.

We were taught to measure everything by how good we are at it. To turn every love into a metric, every joy into a project, every morning into something to optimize. Even surfing became one more thing to get better at, fall behind on, and prove ourselves in.

But surfing was never about the wave count. It's an anchor. A purpose that runs deeper than progression. A way back into your body, your connection to nature, and the vital life force energy the ocean was always trying to hand you, before anyone taught you to keep score.

Sea State is where we put the scorekeeping down. Where surfing gets to be a devotion again, not performance. Where you build a life around the waves on purpose, with the women doing the same.

There's a whole system built to keep us busy + disconnected. Consuming instead of creating. Scrolling instead of paddling out. Comparing instead of connecting. 

And it runs better when we're too tired to surf, too behind to play, and too cut off from each other to build the kind of community we actually need.

Sea State is us opting out. On purpose, together.

A conscious decision to dream big, design the ocean life we desire, and return to the water, knowing we are on this journey together.

what sea state is built on

you don't have to figure out surfing alone.

The ocean teaches us so much about ourselves. But some of the most important moments are the ones we share. The turn where something finally clicked. The breakthrough you've been chasing for a year. The session that reminds you exactly why surfing is so life-affirming. Those moments were meant to be shared.

And we need somewhere to bring the rest of it too. A place to ask the little (+big) questions, share the frustration, drop the ego, break through the plateau’s, rewrite our limiting beliefs, and practice play in the ocean. A place to drop the weight of the world at the door.

I didn't just build Sea State because I was missing a surf crew (I was). I built it because this beautiful thing we all love, the ocean, the surfing, the devotion, deserves a place to grow. This is for women who want to build a life around the waves, and want guidance to actually make it happen.

Made with grom energy, eternal stoke, and the serious commitment of showing up for the waves. Like a little online surf shack by the sea. A hub for mermaids.

Sea state, was an incredible community space where I felt seen for the first time with lots of my struggles with surfing. It was the first time I wasn’t met with the ‘just send it’ mentality.

It felt really intentional, kind, and collaborative. Not just like this is my own mental load to take on but one I can now carry because of the support.

Before sea state, I would run out into the surf, and feel rushed. I was worried about performing and really hard on myself. I started pushing myself too far past my comfort zone at times. After sea state, I started to allow more flow into my life and take my time getting out there, practicing mindfulness, and intention.

If you have felt stuck, and are open to joining a community of women who are experiencing similar feelings - join. It can be really empowering to enter a space where you can be yourself, and work through the walls we all hit when we are trying to improve at a sport that isn’t consistent.

You’re about to understand your relationship to the surf better, and with yourself. It’s 100% worth it. Joining Sea State will facilitate rediscovering the joy and purpose for getting out there.

stop overthinking it + build your self-trust muscle.

When you don’t paddle out, when you don’t take the drop, when you sit on the shoulder, when you don’t hit the steep section.. it's easy to think what you're losing is just the surfing. Reps. chances.

It's more than that.

You’re losing the version of you that surfing brings out. Playful. Free. In your body. The one who feels most like herself with saltwater in her hair and nowhere she has to be. The one who feels proud, satisfied, euphoric after a surf. What if you could have MORE sessions that feel like that, even when you’re still learning how to?

When you’re overthinking it instead of enjoying the process, when weeks pile up without surfing… that’s what hindering your progress. Not your pop-up. Not your cut back. You’re avoiding the “you” that you’re meant to become..

You don't need to get more disciplined. You need a way back to her that doesn't depend on overthinking it alone every paddle out. That's what sea state is for. A place to build the self-trust muscle back, with people who are doing it with you.

Inside Sea State

break through the surf plateau you've been stuck on for two years.

you might be one of us if…

  • You keep saying you want to surf more, and the weeks keep going by anyway.

  • You're a little intimidated by your local lineup, and you're tired of pretending you're not.

  • Surfing sometimes feels like the only thing that matters. You plan your life around the tides. You wake up before the sun, or you move your whole schedule so you can surf midday when it's glassy. But you still feel lost on the journey.

  • You're building work-life balance so you can go surf whenever you want to, but you still don’t have examples of how women are doing that in real life.

  • Your surfboards are your birkins.

  • You don't want bro culture or big egos. You want to surf for the female gaze.

  • You don't know what board to buy next, but you know it's the thing that unlocks your next level, and you don't know who to ask.

  • You want surfing to feel joyful again. Not like logistics. Not like proof you're good enough to be out there.

  • You're not looking for a bootcamp. You're looking for a way back in.

  • What you actually want, under all of it: to be seen. In your surfing, and in your love for it. And to find the women who feel it too.

  • You've wanted this for a long time. And wanting it quietly has started to feel like settling.

There's a certain kind of woman who gets all of this. Who gets why one good session is the highlight of your whole month. We get it because we feel it too.

Founder and Coach

Timmy

your favorite surfer's favorite surfer. The eternal grom, whether he's in a 20 foot barrel or 2 inches of whitewater. No one on earth is more stoked than timmy. He's a professional surfer who left the championship tour, at 11th in the world, to chase his real vision: become one of the most barreled people on the planet.

he's also a true mermaid, deeply in touch with his feminine side, which is exactly why he thrives in this space with us. our technique coach, our insider for all things surf, and the one always reminding us not to take life too seriously, that the wins are worth celebrating, and that learning is supposed to be fun.

not everyone gets to work with one of the best and most barreled surfers in the world. i couldn't be more excited to share my coach. i only picked up a shortboard 5 years ago. because of timmy, i finally surf the way i've always dreamed of. Timmy’s job in sea state is to answer any shortboard + technique questions in our video analysis coaching. Plus he’s the hook up for ordering surfboards, gear, or any other questions you have.
