Does your surf instructor surf like this?

One thing that sets Surf With Amigas apart from other surf camps is our group of incredibly talented female surf instructors. When you learn to surf from women, it’s a completely different situation and a more complete experience. We hire the best instructors and pay them well so that they are motivated to help you catch waves, vs. being surf starved themselves. That doesn’t mean that they don’t get a chance to catch a few waves alongside the guests, but that they are happy to give up the best waves to you!

It’s best to learn from female surf instructors.

Women understand women. Learning to surf is more than just physical. It’s about overcoming fears, believing in oneself, and learning to trust. Women can offer a different level of support in those areas. Plus you don’t have to worry about bikini malfunctions or how your hair looks.

Some other camps also feature female instructors, but few have the quality of experienced surfers that we do. Of course wipeouts happen regardless of your ability level and those are worth watching along with the awesome rides.

Here’s a highlight video showing three of our surf instructors at a recent advanced tube riding clinic in Nicaragua.

Advanced Tube Riding Clinic Highlight Video

In October we hosted our very first exclusively advanced level tube riding clinic.  Seven Amigas and one Amigo joined us, all with the goal of getting their first tube ride. The Surf With Amigas staff offered in-water help yelling “go go go, cute one!, daily video coaching, and classroom sessions to get them into position. By the end of the week half the group had gotten their first tube ride! The rest have the tools to keep practicing at home to make it happen.

Here’s the highlight video from all the guests. Standby for the highlights from the instructors showing how it’s done. I love the wipeout sections of this video! It shows how much everyone wanted to get their first tube ride and were willing to push themselves over the edge!

Shortboard Only Advanced Surf Clinic

We are really excited to announce our first advanced surf coaching clinic in Northern Nicaragua. We’ll stay in front of a hollow beach break and will set a goal of getting you into your first real tube ride, or improving your tube riding if you already have some barrel experience.

Of course there are other good waves around as well. This is for shortboarders only!

You will get a chance to surf with former pro surfer and SWA founder Holly Beck and others from our awesome team of instructors. Check out the website for more info:

Holly Demonstrates Backside Tube Riding

The backside tube ride is a particularly difficult maneuver requiring strength, flexibility, and fearlessness. When well executed there are few greater feelings. When poorly executed you can count on a sore neck! Here Holly demonstrates the proper technique for a clean backside tube ride complete with huge smile and dance at the end.
