Trust A Veteran

Operation Poseidon – Surf Therapy Retreats

*UK Wide

Services Include:

🌊 Operation Poseidon – Surf Therapy Retreats for Veterans and Emergency Services - Reclaim your peace, rebuild your strength.


After a medical discharge from the Royal Marines and a personal battle with mental health, the ocean offered a lifeline — and now, through Operation Poseidon, that lifeline is being extended to others who’ve served and the wider public.


Founded on lived experience and built with care, Operation Poseidon provides transformative surf therapy retreats across the UK.  Our retreats are thoughtfully designed for serving military personnel, veterans, blue light workers, and anyone who could benefit from the restorative power of the ocean. Because you don’t have to have served to have experienced trauma or mental health challenges.

Each retreat is grounded in the NHS 5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing and carefully crafted to help you reset, reconnect, and rebuild — both in and out of the water.


🏄‍♂️ What We Offer:

  • Surf Therapy Retreats across the UK

  • Pre-retreat support via dedicated WhatsApp groups to help establish routines before you even hit the beach

  • Mental health toolbox development – build skills to take away and use long after the retreat

  • Run in partnership with the Curtis Palmer Program, supporting the mental health of veterans and police personnel


📅 Upcoming Retreat Dates for 2025:

  • 18th–20th July

  • 1st–3rd August

  • 29th–31st August

  • 26th–28th September

  • 24th–26th October

  • 7th–9th November


Whether you're struggling or just need space to reconnect with yourself, Operation Poseidon offers a powerful opportunity to press life’s reset button — in the water, surrounded by community, and supported every step of the way.

I’ve been on a few of Jamie’s Op Poseidon retreats. I nearly didn’t show for the first one as was in a very dark place. Fortunately I did as it was just what I needed. The combination of the surf, the company, and most importantly the coaching and guidance from Jamie was a game changer for me. I highly recommend.

Never surfed in my life before last weekend. Couple lessons in, and I popped up and rode my first ever wave! Can’t recommend this retreat enough! Good vibes and great fun!

Wanted to go surfing nuff times😎 and this was brilliant, accommodation was modern clean and by the beach 🏖️ The instruction was very good, not overwhelming with information, enough to get on the water and go! Then just little points when needed. I’m definitely going again and great value for money 👊🏻💙

Customer Feedback

Had a private surf lesson (sundowners) in north wales with Jamie. Mainly wanted to take the edges off my rusty ability. We went through quick stretch/yoga session then surfed till the sun started going down. Great motivator, experienced, a lot of positive feedback and more importantly laughs. The Stoke was immense as we cheered each other on the wave. If you’re in a “funk” and need some salt water therapy, there’s nothing more healing than a few hours catching waves and getting a mental detox . Cracking adventure
