In Between Surf Sessions

We are not alcoholics! But we do like to have a good time and indulge in the fine beverages available. Nicaragua is world famous for it’s Flor de Cana rum and we think it is delicious. In between surf sessions we get up to all kinds of craziness and fun. We laugh, talk about life, dreams, goals, and create friendships that will last long past the week-long adventure.

As an instructor, it’s really fun to surf with a group that is fearless, willing to listen to instruction, and just go for it! We started out with 3 ladies in the whitewash on day 1, but by day 2, they were all outside trying to catch green waves. Everyone was super stoked, which makes our jobs as instructors so easy! Check them out shredding!

At Amigas Surf & Yoga Retreats we appreciate a good wipeout as much as we appreciate a great ride. Every year we compile all the wipeout footage and create a contest for best wipeout. The year has just started and there will surely be more, but here are the first two solid contenders for Best Wipeout for the 2012/2013 season!

Rachel is into dog sledding and Christine is a mountain biker from Calgary. Neither had ever surfed before coming on a retreat but both picked it up quickly. Unfortunately, the waves were pretty big towards the end of the week but they had mastered the whitewash and wanted to explore the outside. I am super proud of them for going for it!

Where there once were only boys, there are now a few local girls borrowing boards to head out into the waves. Inspired by all the international Amigas having fun in the ocean, a trio of local ladies are now heading out shredding too! They are so excited and super cute!

Melissa is famous. She’s so famous that she needs to keep a low profile sometimes. For these reasons we cannot tell you her last name or exactly who she works for, but let’s just say she is a super hot, super talented Amiga and we’re honored to now call her a friend. She came down for a week of surf and yoga and scored on big waves, fast horses, and extreme volcano boarding.

We were stoked to hang out with her and are really looking forward to having her back!
