Overview

The idea for Surf & Sales came during a family vacation in Costa Rica. Nobody wants to spend their vacation talking about work. But sitting on a pristine, golden beach enjoying a well-earned tequila after an evening surf session, Scott Leese and Richard Harris turned to their shared passion for sales. It was undeniable: in that setting, thousands of miles away from the office, the ideas, insights, and inspiration simply flowed much more freely. They were thinking creatively, challenging each other, covering new ground. Then it hit them - what if they planned a surf trip not to escape work, but to embrace it, explore it, and build relationships with others? And what if they surrounded themselves with a small, select group of peers and aspiring sales leaders from around the world, to share not only their knowledge but also the kind of life experience that builds relationships that last? And what if it all took place in paradise, against the backdrop of learning (or just enjoying!) one of the most challenging and rewarding sports on earth? The answer was simple - it had to happen. They asked long-time friend, avid surfer, and business leader Jeff Coleman to join the team and take the lead on creating a world-class guest experience, and Surf & Sales was born. The Surf and Sales events have all quickly sold out and exceeded expectations. We have forged lifelong friendships, generated new business ideas and opportunities, and created incredible memories in and out of the water. There’s much more to come, and we hope you’ll join us for the ride!
