A Few Words From Silene

I learned to surf at 29. A few years later I was pregnant with our first son, and then with our second. They are 10 and 8 now, and both of them surf. My doctor was fine with it, so I kept surfing through both pregnancies, close to shore on small days. In the water I still felt like myself.

My head is busy most of the time. The ocean is one of the few places where it goes quiet. After a session I can sit still for a while, which anyone who knows me will tell you is rare. Yoga quiets my head too. A massage does as well.

Building Kalon with Kjeld was a lot of hard work, and I learned what I need if I'm going to keep at it. I want our guests to have what they need too. We ask them a lot of questions, and when something doesn't work for them, we change it.

We are in the business of making people happy. We try very hard to make sure you are, and to think of what you need before you know you need it.

Yoga

We do yoga three times a week on an open-air deck in the jungle. Classes are for beginners and focus on stretching and breathing, which helps with stiff shoulders, hips and backs after paddling. The deck is open all day if you want to use it on your own.

If you want a week of surfing and yoga, see our surf and yoga retreat.
