This is a Surf With Amigas retreat in early February. Small clean waves, super sunny skies, lots and lots of dancing and fun. We had a wide range of ages from 24 to 57 years old, but everyone was shredding and having a good time!
What do you do for vacation when you already live in paradise? We had one week off in between retreats and since we were driving North from our Magnific Rock retreat and passing right by Rise Up Surf Tours (an awesome surf camp owned by a friend), we stopped in for a couple of days. It didn’t hurt that there was a big swell running and the perfect tide situation for one of my favorite waves in the country. I was super excited to show it to my friends and give the team a few days of surfing and relaxation before heading back to work. Good times!

Winter in Nicaragua is nice. Offshore winds, super fun waves, lots of Amigas. In between pushing Amigas into waves, I sometimes get a chance to sneak off and score a few fun waves by myself!

The Bay is the place that we’ll surf mostly during retreats in Nicaragua. It’s a super fun spot with lefts, rights, awesome whitewash for beginners, rippable peaks for intermediate surfers, warm water, and only a handful of smiling locals. It’s good for shortboards, longboards, and anything else you want to ride. Here’s a preview of Holly Beck catching a few fun ones.
