The key to riding down the line on a “green wave” is taking off at an angle. Here Britney explains the best way to take off to assure you get a nice ride down the line along with some examples of take offs gone wrong.

At Surf With Amigas we are always inspired by ladies who consider surfing and adventures to be lifelong pursuits. At 62, Marilyn Edwards is hot, fit, and very stylish on her surfboard. She published a womens surf magazine called Wahine for a few years in the late 90s and is very knowledgeable on the sport. In this video she gives some advice on staying young and shares some of her personal philosophy. Very inspiring!
Here’s the highlight video of our second of two surf yoga adventure retreats in Panama in 2015. All the Amigas got really long rides and seriously improved their surfing so we’re planning on heading back in 2016. Dates to be announced!
At Surf With Amigas, we love to dance! This group was particularly into it as well with some Jersey girls who had some serious moves. Twerking anyone? It was an awesome week with pretty much all beginners who were riding green waves by the last day. Check it out!
This week is Easter week in Costa Rica which means tons of partying for locals and even more shredding for Amigas. On the first couple days of the retreat we had great swell and glassy conditions. The waves were unusually rippable and so so fun! We love this place!
We are so inspired by Genie. She learned to surf at age 53 and now, 15 years later at 68 years old, she is ripping! She finds it hard to travel with people her own age so she came down to surf with Amigas and had an awesome time. Thanks Genie!
We had our most shredding group of Amigas in North Nicaragua ever and decided to reward their ripping with a sunrise boat trip to an island secret spot.
The exciting highlight reel from our last retreat of 2014. Watch the ladies shred the waves and enjoy the Cerro Negro Volcano in Nicaragua on a Surf With Amigas surf yoga and adventure retreat.

Last year we tried a new location in the South of Costa Rica. We totally scored! Super cute completely uncrowded waves breaking directly in front of where we stayed which allowed long rides and tons of improvement. Amigas joining us on their 3rd, 4th, and even 5th retreats were claiming it to be their favorite surf trip ever!
We’re headed back in 2015 and are super excited about it! The first two retreats are already full but we do have a few spots remaining the week of April 18-25.

Enjoy the hilarious musings from an Amiga named Jane as she walks us through her new language skills and discusses tired arms from so much shredding!
