June is prime time in Nicaragua. The rain starts, the land turns green, and the swells start rolling in. During this first retreat of June we were blessed with some really good waves allowing the staff girls and a couple of amigas who had some prior surfing experience to get some sick rides. Check out the footage for evidence of Jackie George on a really nice right along with Amiga Nikki shredding on a longboard.

The great thing about our location is that no matter the size there are waves for everyone and the ladiess who were learning to surf for the first time were getting great waves too.

All levels, All day fun!

 

A Good Day at the Bay

On the last day of the retreat most of the Amigas were already surfed-out and tired. We happened to have a pumping swell (particularly for December) and great conditions, so Holly paddled out and got a few waves herself while some Amigas watched from the shore break.

We had heard stories about this young girl charging big waves in Southern Nicaragua, but this is the first time that I actually witnessed it. This is Valentina Resano and she is only 9 years old. Watching her take off on such big waves is impressive, but what amazes me the most is the lines she’s drawing. Her surfing is incredibly mature and once she grows up a bit and gains some weight, she’s going to be even more unbelievable. Prepare to be amazed!

When I first started Surf With Amigas, I had envisioned a place where girls that already knew how to surf could come and improve their skills. In reality we end up doing a lot of surf lessons for beginners, which is fun too. This trip to El Salvador had the most shredding shortboarders we’ve ever assembled which was amazing! Check them out shredding it up at a variety of spots in El Salvador.

We are headed back to these spots in October! Come shred with us!

 

Pro Surfers Rebecca Woods and Paige Hareb in Central America

Rebecca Woods is an old friend from my competitive days. She’s been on the World Tour for years and amazingly to me, is still out there traveling and competing! She and her friend Paige passed through Nicaragua on a Central American adventure. We met up for a session at the Boom and they were both shredding, but I was really stoked to check out the footage of their sessions in El Salvador (the big rights), especially since we’re headed to El Salvador for a retreat next week. Check out a couple of the world’s best surfing women shredding it up in Nicaragua and El Salvador and be inspired!

Meet Nadia – Instructor for June/July Retreats

on By

Nadia is a very excited, trippy, hippy, funky, frothy, shredder. She grew up bouncing between San Diego and Hawaii, so she’s pretty good on her surfboard. She likes cold beer, reggae music, and galloping on horseback down the beach. She has a big soft spot for skinny Nicaraguan dogs.

Basically, she’s a lot of fun to hang out with. If you come on a retreat in June or July 2013, you’ll see what I mean!
