Escaping Cold Weather to a Warm Water Paradise

Our December retreat scored super awesome conditions with all day offshore winds, a few small days of surf to get the Amigas warmed up, and then a few days of bigger waves that allowed them to get the best waves of their lives. Of course there were awesome sunsets, plenty of silliness, and delicious cocktails sprinkled throughout the week. Standard! Love sunsets, warm water, and surfing with new friends? Come play with us!

Surf Adventures with Amigas (Fastest Volcano Boarding Group Ever!)

Really, when it comes down to it, we’re all about having fun. Whether it’s cheering for new friends as they catch the best wave of their life, sharing a cold beer under an amazing sunset, racing down the beach on horseback, or dancing at the top of a volcano, we love to have a good time. This group just so happened to top the volcano boarding speed list with Jess from Western Australia scoring 72km/hr, and a bunch more Amigas in the above 50km category. Thankfully, no one was injured!

A few days into their retreat, the Amigas started really getting comfortable with the waves and were totally charging. They’d look at the footage and couldn’t believe the size of the waves they were able to ride. Trust Ako when she tells you, you could do it too!

Inspirational Story – Twin Sisters Support Each Other in Overcoming Fear

Sisters Therese and Thera came on a retreat together with very different goals. Thera had always imagined herself a surfer and as an athlete who excels at everything she tries she expected to be awesome at surfing right away. Therese was badly injured by a suicide bomber while serving in the military and came on the retreat primarily to support her sister without a lot of interest in surfing herself. The two of them together were incredibly inspirational. Check out their story.
