Learn From the Best at Surf With Amigas

on By

If you want to learn something new, you want to find the very best teacher. At Surf With Amigas, we’re dedicated to assembling the very best staff. We pay more per week than a lot of other camps pay per month, which means we get great instructors (all girls who love to surf and travel) who are very excited and motivated to help you learn – whether it’s in the water, on your yoga mat, or over a fruity cocktail while soaking in the pool. Learn to surf better, improve your yoga practice, and gain new perspective on life, love, and happiness with Surf With Amigas.
In this video a recent Amiga shares what she learned from the staff this week.

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?…

Surfing Yoga and So Much More in Costa Rica

on By

Surf With Amigas is primarily about surfing. We surf when the conditions are best and schedule all other activities around that. However, there’s a lot more to it than what happens out in the water. There’s daily yoga, and all day laughter. Plenty of adventures, horseback riding, jungle hiking, monkey sound making, and good food eating. It’s hilarious, interesting, fun, and addicting!

This morning we start day 1 of our season of retreats in Nicaragua, but here’s another look at last month’s trip to El Salvador. We’ll be heading back to El Sal again next year, so if you aren’t already, email me ([email protected]) to be added to our mailing list if you want to join in!

This is what a Surf With Amigas women’s surf and yoga retreat looks like in El Salvador. We surf, hang out, and play in gorgeous waterfalls. So fun!

We are so blessed to have Nikki Belcher as our yoga teacher at Surf With Amigas. She is gorgeous inside and out, has a calming, healing presence, and inspires a restorative practice. There was so much prana/energy at the waterfall in the cloud forest that Nikki decided to do a little free flow sequence.

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!

This week we had a big group of beginners who were getting some great waves on the inside whitewash. We feel that giving support and encouragement is one of the most important aspects of learning to surf and at Surf With Amigas Surf Yoga Retreat in Nicaragua there’s always tons of cheering, clapping, claiming, and high-fiving. This week there were also a lot of handstands going on. Super fun!
