Every year we love heading down South for a little guaranteed all-day offshore froth mission. This year we had a super shredder in Christina who may have scored the biggest wave by an amiga ever! What do you think? Ever seen an Amiga go bigger in one of our videos??? Let us know in the comments!

Southern Nicaragua Retreat Highlights

Once a year we pack up all the boards and drive South to Magnific Rock for our annual Southern Nicaragua Retreat. This year we had a very diverse group of Amigas from a few different countries including Peru and Australia. We had pretty small surf which allowed us to surf three different spots. Everyone improved so much!

South Nicaragua Retreat July 19-26 – Only a Few Spots Left!

We only do it once a year, but it’s a pretty special experience. We’ll stay at a gorgeous location situated on a rocky outcrop with ocean visible almost 270 degrees. The food is amazing (like seriously amazing), the waves are super duper cute (several surf spots to choose from – all within walking distance), there’s WiFi, AirCon, and real flush toilets right in your room!

The retreat is limited to just 12 spots and as of May 15th, we’re over half full with several on the list promising to send in their deposits within the next week. If you’re interested, get on it! Check out all the info here and email [email protected] with questions and to sign up!

Check out the video from last year if you need further convincing! It’s going to be awesome!

Falling in Love with the Ocean

We love keeping in touch and hearing from Amigas after their week with us. Sometimes it’s an email to ask for suggestions on what type of board to invest in. Sometimes it’s a photo of ladies who met on a retreat in wetsuits in the snow, or in Cabo, or at Coachella. Other times it’s a note of gratitude like the one below. Roisin joined us on our Southern Nicaragua Retreat in 2013. Thanks for sending Ro!
This email is really about sending a BIG overdue THANK YOU to You, Jackie, Nadia and Nikki for being instrumental people in a life changing year that was 2013. I knew something new and cool was on the horizon for me. I just couldn’t figure out how the fuck to get there! Until Surf With Amigas.

Divorce, an ailing father, quitting my shitty job in New York City and a big nudge from my friend Emily all led me to the Amigas. I went down with a HUGE fear of the water, a weakened spirit, and out of shape muscles. Holly you got me on my first wave and I will never forget it!! Looking at the video, not sure who was more excited you or me! Either way, I got home, hit Mondos, near Rincon, caught the first wave I went for and rode it all the way to the parking lot!
Since then, I have taken up Stand Up Paddling boarding (shhhh….) (it is really good for your core, and the waves are more predictable), leased a horse and ride waves when I can. More importantly, I LOVE the water!! I paddle my SUP board like its a surf board and there is always white water to tackle and waves to ride. (although I haven’t actually done that yet..lol) My buddy is also an avid boogie boarder, fins etc…so water sports abound!! 
My point is without the four of you giving me the confidence to ENJOY our beautiful oceans, my time here in Cali would be wasted. Every Sunday I am out there paddling with the dolphins and the seals. I always jump in the water for a swim and we are bringing our masks and snorkels tomorrow and heading out to the reef for more exploring.
 It is impossible for me to be in the water without thinking of all of you.:)
In short, Thank you for getting me to the place I was meant to be. 
Fuck Yeah!! and Namaste:)))

If you know how to ride whitewash but want to learn how to ride a green wave, or know how to drop in but want to learn how to angle, or can do all that but want to cutback – this is the perfect retreat for you! There are 2 surf spots directly in front of where we’ll stay – a fun right good for intermediate surfers, and a super user-friendly left great for beginners. The world-famous Popoyo break is just a 10 min walk down the beach for anyone who wants to check that out too! In the South, the wind is offshore all day 90% of the time, so we’ll surf at least twice a day until your arms are complete noodles!

Check out what a past group of retreat ladies had to say about the spot, and why you shouldn’t second guess your decision to come! As Kristin said, “Just do it! Because I’m glad I came and had another adventure in my life!”

Amigas Surf the Biggest Swell of the Year

on By

[youtube=http://youtu.be/hxchxrc0Ev0]

After a few days of really cute waves in Southern Nicaragua the BIG swell hit. Enormous waves were breaking way outside sending huge walls of whitewash steamrolling into the beach. Holly led a handful of brave Amigas into the lineup and coached them into some really nice ones in between a lot of duck-diving and turtle-rolling. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible (even surfing really big waves)!
