“a world renowned surf & yoga retreat experience for women to inspire each other in surfing and in life”
This retreat is for: All women ages 15+ who ride all types of surfboards, from zero experience to advanced shredder.
THE classic women-only retreat EXPERIENCE
There’s a unique, undeniable magic that unfolds when women gather in remote locations to shed their daily roles and reconnect with their wildest selves in and out of the ocean. All-female spaces help evaporate the pressure to look a certain way, act tough when fear arises, or apologize for taking up space in the lineup.
Regardless of age, culture, profession, and surf experience level, having a group of women come together to support one another, learn from one another, share stories, laughs and even tears, creates friendships that endure far beyond the week-long adventure.
Our all-female retreat hosts — surf mentors who don’t just provide the super fun schedule, but who curate the depth of the experience – are the heartbeat of the Surf With Amigas retreat experience. They are there to cheer loud when you catch an epic wave and also to hold space in moments when you need support. There’s no mansplaining here, just a sisterhood of experienced surfers ready to answer your surf questions, guide you in the lineup, and be there alongside you as you explore the local culture.
THE SURF COACHING PROGRAM
Our team of highly-trained coaches will help you achieve your surf goals throughout the week. We truly welcome surfers of all ages, body types, cultural background and skill levels, and you’ll see this reflected in the retreat participants. There’s no competition or comparison. We’ll help you find the right board, the best conditions, and provide the right level of encouragement to help you thrive. Our priority is the surf experience, and giving you the tools to become a better surfer in an incredibly positive and supportive way. Expect to learn a ton about all things surfing, through beach lessons, in-water coaching, classroom sessions, and daily video review sessions.
THE yoga + adventures
Every day you’ll have the option to join a slow-paced, Yin/Restorative style yoga class, aimed to promote relaxation, circulation and release of your sore surf muscles. Our talented certified yoga instructors (who also surf) tailor each class to the needs of surfers. You’ll leave each class feeling relaxed, inspired, and rejuvenated.
We love exploring our surroundings, immersing ourselves in the local scene, and trying new things too! We’ll get your adrenaline pumping as we gallop down the beach on horseback, hike to hidden waterfalls, and explore activities unique to each individual retreat location’s culture. We’ll meander through the streets of local cities, shop at outdoor markets, and sample the traditional cuisine. At SWA, every moment is an adventure, and you never know what we’ll be doing next!
