“Staying with Ed and Sofie at Soul & Surf was awesome. I was on a crazy rollercoaster of a journey in india and i must say that if i didn't join these guys it wouldn't have been nearly as worth it! It was the retreat everyone should experience!”
Chippa Wilson, Pro Surfer, Australia

“Where do I start to thank you for your kind hospitality? Well... pretty much from our first correspondence with you we figured it was going to be exactly what we were looking for. Ed’s honed website skills had us convinced it would be a nice place to stay but what really made it for us was you guys and your approach to having guests stay. I could have done nothing (guilt free) all week and still have felt part of what was going on around me. You provide opportunity to do all manner of activities and yet don’t push in the slightest. You provide a whole house to stay in with a bottomless fridge of beer and soft drinks, laundry service if required and spacious, clean and maintained rooms. Confirmation of our endorsement comes in the form of sacking off two separate Kerala destinations in favour of staying with you for three extra days. Your enthusiasm for yoga and surfing got Olivia touching her toes and me up (and photographed) on a surf board. I’m not sure it stops there though, you mentioned Soul&Surf is an experiment. To me it seems your driven yet balanced and overwhelmingly positive approach to what you do is what you live for and the reason for your success.
There is also the small matter of how much fun we had with you guys. Being such great hosts is one thing but being so cool with it seems like you are just cheating somehow. We are so pleased to have met you and look forward to seeing you again.”

"Soul and Surf provides a unique Indian surfing experience.  The waves are fun, the accommodations are bright and airy and hosts Sofie and Ed's warm smiles make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.  Ed is very knowledgeable of the various local breaks and for people renting boards, the surfing equipment is in excellent shape.  To top it off Sofie is a great cook!"
Myron Nestor, Toronto, Canada

“Staying at Sofie and Ed’s guest-house was like living a week long lucid dream. Everything was just how you wanted it to be, all of the time. Morning surfing, evening yoga, impromptu sunset swims and trips to nearby backwaters at Kollam. Each day Sofie and Ed struck the perfect balance between hosting and being our new friends. An unforgettable holiday!”
Will and Laura, London, UK

“We are in absolute awe of Ed and Sofie! Apart from having one of the best jobs in the world and sharing how much they enjoy this part of India. Ed and Sofie were amazing hosts in so many ways. It was the little things which made our stay so memorable; The early smiles on the way to the beach, fresh bowl of flowers at the breakfast table each day, the extra effort made to meet any food requirements we had and the amazing breakfasts made with love each morning. Sofie’s Yoga classes taken on the rooftop amongst the trees was defiantly a great way to feel enlightened. While with the assistance of Ed's surf guidance we were all standing on our surfboards by the end of our stay. The list of delightful memories is long , but we all agree the most memorable moment was watching the dolphins swim by while sitting on our surfboards. Our Stay was made so much easier with their guidance and local knowledge of Ed & Sofie.  We wish our one week trip could of been a month.
Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. Hope to see you again  xox”
