Instructors Surf

During retreats our job as instructors is to make sure the Amigas get great waves, learn something new about surfing, and have an awesome time. Of course, there is a chance for us to get to catch a few waves as well. While we make it a point to give all the best waves to the Amigas, sometimes we’re able to sneak a few good ones for ourselves. Here’s a silly little video showing some behind the scenes action from the Surf With Amigas Instructors in February.

SWA Interview Series – Rachel

So many Amigas come on retreats at turning points in their lives. New jobs, breaking out of bad relationships, or just needing a chance of perspective. We love to help guide you towards a new point of view and leave the past behind. Rachel did just that and left the week feeling refreshed and re-inspired.

The “Y” Word

Our good friend and awesome yoga teacher, Cyd, recently made a trip to Nootka Island in exploration of adventure and waves with some like-minded ladies. In this short film, the girls highlight the value of pairing yoga (or “stretching”) with surfing.  The backdrop looks amazing and the waves look cute! Future retreat location?…
