Make Your Next Surf Trip Epic!
Ok, so you’re ready to plan an epic trip revolving around your favorite way to let loose, surfing. You’ve been daydreaming of days spent surfing, afternoons full of good food and maybe some yoga and massages, and nights where you can let loose, and you can have it all with the right location. Before you go, make sure you’re prepared to make your trip epic with the right crew, boards, waves, and perfect location.
1. Your Crew
Surfing may seem like a solo sport, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to bring the right group of people with you. You need people who will be up for surfing all day and having fun afterwards. Be sure to pick people who are high energy and adventurous, you don’t want to have to worry about everyone else while you’re trying to catch waves. If this is an all girls surf trip consider Chica Brava, the first all female surf retreat that will be perfect for your crew, or provide you with one if you don’t already have it.
2. The Right Boards
You can’t surf without a board, and whether you go for a short or long board, you might as well make it a good one. Many surf hotspots will have great rental shops where you can rent a high quality surfboard. Or, if you’re going with a surf retreat like Chica Brava, boards are included, so you can relax and enjoy the surf without worrying about the board.
3. The Surf
To have an epic surf trip you need epic waves. Maybe your group isn’t up for the waves at legendary surf spot Pipeline in Oahu, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find epic waves at your level. Ideally you want a surf town with a couple of different surf spots you can try out, but most importantly you don’t want to show up and find no waves. San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua is a great surf town because it has surf spots with varying levels of difficulty. Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, there will be waves for you.
4. The Location
You spent your day surfing the perfect waves with the perfect crew and you’re done for the day, now what? Maybe after a long day of surfing you feel like having a relaxing drink in a quiet bar, or maybe you’re ready for some yoga and a massage. Do some research ahead of time and find the right spot for you that has a nightlife that fits yours and your group’s personality. If you’re looking for a laid back beach town with relaxed bars on the beach and friendly people to meet while also having plenty of other ways to get outside, San Juan del Sur is perfect.
Once you’ve figured out your crew, the hard part is over, because you don’t need to look any further than the CHICABRACA surf retreat in San Juan Del Sur in Nicaragua. With the perfect location that has great waves and nightlife, along with helpful staff to provide the boards and give show you great activities you’re all set. Even if you don’t have a surf friendly crew, you can meet one at Chica Brava in a group of awesome, like-minded women ready to surf.
