If you surf a shortboard, you have the luxury of duckdiving to get under waves. If you ride a longboard, you want to turtle roll. We get a lot of Amigas who come down wanting to learn to ride a shorter board just so they can duckdive. Why sacrifice paddle power and glide just to duckdive? Learn how to Turtle Roll instead!
In this video, Jackie and Holly talk you through the best way to Turtle Roll and show a few ladies trying it out for themselves.

Holly Beck Surfs and Skates in Ecuador
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8weMFBLNL_Y]
A couple years ago Holly took a trip to Ecuador with the Sector 9 girl’s team and scored with miles of uncrowded beach break, warm water, and great long smooth hills for skateboarding. One day we might even head back there with a group of Amigas.
Would you be excited about a retreat to Ecuador? Let us know by posting a comment!

Ok, ok, I know what you’re saying to yourself: “enough of the Philippines footage already! It was awesome and gorgeous, we get it!” So no worries, this is the LAST Philippines post you’ll see for a while as we transition back into Central American retreats. This is a pretty good one though, so be sure to check it out and if you’re interested in being added to the list of potential Amigas for a Philippines 2014 retreat, email me at [email protected]
Warm Water, Perfect Waves, Friends, Horses, and Beverages
This is how we do it. We take a really cool group of people, bring them to perfect waves in warm water, mix in fast horses, great food, plenty of friendly support, alcoholic beverages, relaxing mind-healing yoga, then mix well and serve up with video evidence. This is what a Surf and Yoga Retreat should look like. We like to have fun!
