Sunday was our first full day with the ladies and everyone was super stoked to get in the water and start surfing. When the ladies woke up, they had breakfast prepared by the amazing staff up at Cloud Farm and then did a nice flowy and relaxing yoga session with Hilary from Zen Yoga. After yoga, we all headed down to Surf House to get ready for Surfs Up, which was at playa Hermosa on Sunday. Once we got to the beach the ladies had lunch and then got in the water for their first lesson. On that day, Hermosa had an unusual high level of sea life, full of rays and big fishes. The ladies also did great and were all working on mastering their pop up. Later in the afternoon. We headed back to Cloud Farm to eat dinner and then relax for the rest of the night.

Monday

Chica Brava Surf Camp June

On Monday, the ladies all started their day with a nice and relaxing morning, chilling by the pool up at Cloud Farm and enjoying the beautiful view of San Juan del Sur. At lunch time, everyone came down to Surf House to have lunch, get surf ready and leave for surfing at playa Remanso. On that day, Remanso had perfect conditions for the ladies to improve and control their pop up. Some of them also started to practice paddling. After another great day at the beach with a beautiful sunset, we all came back to town and the ladies went to the Cerveceria with Lindsey to end a great day.

Tuesday

Chica Brava Surf Retreat

Tuesday morning, the ladies had another yoga session with Hillary to stretch out and relax our muscles from all this surfing. It felt amazing and got the ladies ready for another fun day in the water. After yoga, we all went down to Surf House had some free time to walk around town to explore and do a bit of shopping. Then, at around 1:00, we all headed to Playa Remanso for our third Surfs Up of the week. Everyone did amazing and some of the girls even paddle out to the outside to catch some green waves. After an amazing day of surfing, the ladies had a few beers and drinks while enjoying a beautiful sunset at the beach. And then it was time to go back to Cloud Farm and have dinner.

Wednesday

Chica Brava Surf Retreat Weekly Stories

On Wednesday, the ladies got ready for surfs up early for a super fun boat ride to Playa Remanso! We met the panga on the beach in San Juan and cruised for 30 minutes down the coastline, enjoying the beautiful scenery. We jumped off the boat with our boards and headed to the line up to catch some super fun waves from the outside. Everyone caught at least one wave from the outside, but a group of ladies wanted to go play in the white water on the inside. After two hours surfing the line up and catching super fun waves we paddled back to the boat where the crew hooked everyone up with fresh fruits and water before taking us back to San Juan. Once back at the Surf House the ladies enjoyed lunch and town time before heading back with Marie to Cloud Farm for pool time and dinner. Such a phenomenal day!

Thursday

Chica Brava Surf Retreat

Thursday was another early morning surfs up heading back to everyone’s favorite beach, Playa Remanso! There were two groups who headed to the outside and another group who stayed on the inside. Everyone had such a fun time catching their waves and getting long waves all the way to the beach. It was a great day playing in the water and enjoying the early morning calm. We headed back to Surf House for lunch and some of the ladies got to enjoy relaxing massages while others decided to go zip lining! For dinner, we headed out to El Timon for dinner, drinks, and dancing! We left El Timon full, sweaty (from dancing) and so happy!

Friday

Friday is the best day because it’s find your style friday funday! There is no right or wrong to your surf style and it’s all about having fun! Playa Remanso treated us well and gave the ladies nice long rides on some super fun waves! But what the ladies were excited for was LAST NIGHT OUT! These ladies wanted to get down and hit up the town. So after dinner we picked up Jen from the Surf House and headed to Parlour for some yummy cocktails and $1 tequila shots! We made our way to Iguana Bar for more drinks and fun music. After meeting some interesting characters at Iguana the ladies were excited to finally be going to LiT. The local night club they had been eyeballing all week. And LiT did not disappoint! The music was loud, the drinks were cheap, and the beats were bumping. Everyone danced their butts off till 2:30 in the morning! We ended the night at Taco Stop for late night tacos (because of course!) before heading back to Cloud Farm. Talk about ending the week with a BANG!
