Alli Powell

Alli Powell grew up in San Clemente participating in all things water – surfing, water polo, life guarding and swimming. She was a part of the high school’s National Championship Surf Team and went on to University of California at Irvine to play water polo. As soon as college was over, she and her partner were off to Oaxaca, Mexico and lived in Salina Cruz, the land of the right hand point breaks. For 5 years they lived the slow paced lifestyle where warm water and amazing surf were all major draws. During that time she also went through her first yoga teacher training and ran yoga/adventure retreats to Italy. 

In 2014 it was time to live closer to family. Alli moved back to Southern California, became a licensed personal trainer, furthered her yoga teacher studies, coached water polo to youth in San Clemente and also co-owned a non-profit called Surf Skouts, that empowered young girls through surfing. 

In recent years, starting a family changed the priorities and her family moved back south to Costa Rica to live the slower paced life and enjoy warm weather that she had been missing since Mexico. She now works for Surf With Amigas, does marketing for women-owned, small businesses, and lives the pura vida with her family.
