Nov 4-11 Highlight Video – Surf Yoga Adventure Baby Turtles in North Nicaragua

At Surf With Amigas Surf Yoga Adventure Retreat for Women, we focus heavily on creating a culture of support and encouragement. When you get a great ride, or your first ride, or a big wipeout, the first thing you’ll hear is enthusiastic cheering from all your new Amigas! No matter what we are here to support you in achieving your goals. We’ll also give back to the local community, participate in a sea turtle protection program, do yoga, and have other awesome adventures.
This is the highlight video from the first week of November.

Advanced Longboard Retreat Highlight Video

Surf with Amigas hosts retreats to improve your surfing whether you have never surfed before or are ready to work on more advanced maneuvers. Here’s the highlight video from our first ever advanced longboarding retreat featuring guest instructor 2xWorld Longboarding Champion Jen Smith. The ladies worked on cross stepping nose riding and style in some really awesome waves at our Northern Nicaraguan location.

Exercises and Stretches to Prepare for Your Retreat

Surf With Amigas surf and yoga teacher Cherise Richards takes us through some exercises and stretches that will help you prepare for your trip. Strengthen arms, core, legs, and back, then stretch them out to increase mobility so you’ll be more prepared to perform your best on day 1 of your retreat. Keep this program going after your trip to stay in shape back in the “real world” too! Check out the video!

First Ever Advanced Retreat Highlight Video

In July we had our first ever dedicated Advanced Retreat in Northern Nicaragua. It included tons of surfing and lots of classroom sessions to help the Amigos become better surfers. Of course on top of the surfing and learning there were tons of other fun activities and true to any Surf With Amigas surf yoga adventure retreat, there was lots of dancing and silliness and fun!

Amigas Score Pumping Low Tide Pavones on Day 0 of the Retreat

The retreat hadn’t even officially started yet, but three of the Amigas showed up on the early flight and with a solid swell running and the froth factor high, we took them to Pavones for their warm up session. It was incredible! Holly and Michelle were frothing so hard. The current was ripping along the point making it impossible to stop paddling for even a second while well overhead doubling up lefts were steam rolling down the point.

We were a little nervous taking the girls out at first. Molly is from Chicago and had only surfed one week before, during her first retreat with us almost a year ago. Luckily she’s a really strong paddler and had total faith in the instructors. She dodged the sets and scored a couple of sweet rides.

Karen is 66 years old and lives on Kauai. She is so inspirational. She paddled out through a heavy set and then out to the peak. Her goal this week is to catch some waves without going to her knees. She caught 4 or 5 of the most beautiful waves before calling it a day.

Amber is from the gulf coast of Florida and surprised herself being able to surf big Pavones, especially on the first day of the retreat. She took a gnarly wipeout on a big wave that was unfortunately not captured on video, but shook it off and got one good wave after that.

It was so unbelievably fun!amber pavones
