Chica Brava hosted two lovely ladies for their Surf Retreat up at Cloud Farm. We had our Veteran, Koto, who returned to Chica Brava for her 6th time and Amy from California!
Koto’s brought both her personal short and longboard so she would be able to work on her skills for both, and boy did she! When on her long board, she looked as if she was dancing on it with some occasional hang 5s. Throughout the week she surfed her short board and was practicing deeper take offs and maneuvers on the wave.
Amy has been surfing on and off for 3 years with the initial goal to perfect her pop up, and by the week, she wasn’t just popping up, but she was catching head high waves all the way down the beach!
This was a lucky week as it seemed the waves were perfect! We were able to wave hunt from Playa Maderas to even Playa Santana, with a couple pit stops at Playa Remanso and Hermosa of course!
Our ladies thoroughly enjoyed 3 yoga sessions up at Cloud Farm with a stunning view over the Bay of San Juan. They also went for a hike and learned about farm, carpentry shop and wildlife. But not only was this week full of relaxation and perfect waves, but it was a week full of so much laughter. Soooo stoked that I had the opportunity to surf with these two wonderful ladies!
