The Amigas vs. The Social Butterflies – Kickball Challenge

A women’s kickball league has started up in our little community of Northern Nicaragua coastal villages. Several of our local lady friends have been chatting about their practices and games and we couldn’t resist challenging them to a match. Honestly, I thought we’d be pretty good. We’re badass Amigas from all over the States and Canada. We’re in good shape. We’re competitive. Basically, we’re awesome! I figured we’d at least tie them, and probably even win.

Well, not quite. Turns out the Social Butterflies are a pretty solid team. The Amigas also had a few injuries sustained both before and during the game, so we weren’t at our full strength. They smoked us 3 to nothing in the two games we played. Still though, it was super fun! Check out some photo highlights from the game. I can’t wait to challenge them again this week!

#2 on CNN’s “Thrill Seeker’s Bucket List”, volcano boarding is a crazy experience that will get your adrenaline pumping and give you lots of stories to tell friends at home. It’s just one of the awesome adventures that you’ll experience on a week with Surf With Amigas. Of course, there’s surfing too. Always surfing…
Come experience it!

Galloping on the Beach – There’s nothing else like it!

Even if your horseback riding experience consists of one ride at a carnival when you were 8 years old, if you believe in yourself and get in sync with the horse, you can gallop down the beach at full speed. It’s an unbelievable feeling. There’s nothing else like it. Come to a Surf Yoga Adventure Retreat in Nicaragua and fulfill your fantasies!

Riding Water Buffalos in the Philippines

New retreat activity – Riding Water Buffalos!

We had no idea what to expect when 9 girls showed up to ride water buffalos. It turned out to be a hilarious afternoon booze cruise to the top of a hill with a gorgeous view and then the craziness really started – racing them! A few of us fell off, and we all got a great ab workout from laughing so hard! Check out the footage!

Galloping on the Beach

If you’ve been to one of our Northern Nicaragua retreats then you know, galloping on the beach is one of the best feelings in the world. People are often nervous about it. We get plenty of ladies who haven’t been on a horse since they were a kid, or even never. They’re nervous about being able to control such a big powerful animal. But the horses we use are super well trained. They know the beach, they know the drill, and they love to gallop. All you have to do is believe in yourself and hold on for the ride of your life. Here’s what it looks like. If you want to feel it for yourself, you’ve just gotta come down!

Dance Party

We like to boogie. We know how to get down. We are usually in bed by 9pm so we can get up early and shred, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for a little Salsa!
