NEW 2019 / 2020 Dates | All Women Surf Retreats w/ Andrea Diaz

Shawna Mullen • July 18, 2019

Female surf retreats are here to stay! The girls have been so stoked and showed such enthusiasm these past weeks that we decided to add 6 MORE WEEKS to our All Female Surf Retreats. If you’ve been holding off on your surf trip, now is the time to capitalize on an unforgettable week of surfing with the best female surfer in Costa Rica, Andrea Diaz.

This is way more than a surf holiday. Our all-women retreats are perfect for replenishing your female spirit in a safe environment. You will enjoy surfing with Andrea, yoga classes, massages, girls’ night on the town, and spontaneous non-surfing excursions with your new best friends.

Here is what Krissie P (@phillynerdgirl) had to say about her experience during her July 13 – 2oth retreat. “This was my first time surfing at the tender age of 36. I’m originally from Delaware and have a lot of friends that surf but I never learned myself because I was intimidated. I came with somewhat low expectations that it would take me a whole week to stand up, but Andrea Diaz had me standing up on the first day! I recently lost my husband to cancer last January and learned that like is short. I’ve been trying to do everything that I wished we could have done together and this has been the perfect re-birth into my next chapter of life.”
