Rainy Season in Nicaragua

The rain has just started to fall – very lightly – just enough to prompt the trees to re-grow leaves and tender blades of grass to push up from the dry ground. The wind has been offshore, the waves have been super clean, and we’ve got a collection of new surfboards to try!

Our first two retreats of the rainy season are totally full, but we still have a few spots open for the week of June 29th – July 6th and July 7th – 14th. For a look at a retreat from last year around this time, check out the video above!

Mariah Almond is an Amiga from Texas who came to the Philippines for her third retreat with Surf With Amigas. We’ve watched her surfing seriously improve over the last couple of years. During this trip she was shredding. She credits a lot of her performance to her awesome surfboard which she has named “lady parts”. It’s modeled after an Al Merrick Sperm Whale but sized down for a lady.

New retreat activity – Riding Water Buffalos!

[youtube=http://youtu.be/5e07xMsoNxk]

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!

If you want to be cool, you’ve gotta say it right. Ready?

Ron.

Try again.

RRRon.

Really get into it this time.

RRRRRRRRon!

That’s better.We took a tour of the Flor de Cana Rum Factory in Chichigalpa and learned how to taste 18 year old rum like a pro, and correctly pronounce it the Nicaraguan way – “ron!” Then headed back to the beach for a super fun session with some returning Amigas. Shredding!

Shannon came on her first retreat with Surf With Amigas Surf Yoga Adventure Retreat in Feb of 2012 and learned to surf. She came back a year later, in Feb of 2013 and took her skills to the next level – catching her first green wave! She loved it and has vowed to try to come back again in 6 months! Here’s her testimonial.

We toast cacao beans, grind them up, then make our own delicious chocolate balls. We help baby turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. We ride horses at high speeds. We surf and surf and surf. This is what it’s like to be an Amiga at Surf With Amigas Surf Yoga Retreats in North Nicaragua.
