More Than Just a Surf Trip
Helen
“I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this unforgettable time at the surf camp. Sharing these days with you girls was so special — so many laughs, great moments, and beautiful memories I’ll always carry with me.
And to the instructors: you did an incredible job.
Your passion, patience, and positive energy made such a difference and truly inspired me. Thank you all for the warmth, fun, and good vibes. I’m so grateful for every moment.”
Sue
“Being a part of a Sister Surf surf camp is like finding the family that you didn't know you had. In my case, younger sisters:) I was surrounded by absolutely cool like-minded women who want to learn to surf better but also want to have fun and not take it too seriously. It is a low pressure environment, so if you want to recover a bit from paddling out, no worries.
Or if you want to charge the waves, go for it! Coco and Chelsea will be there giving great pointers and encouragement. Also, the video sessions were super helpful as well in pointing out the little details that together add up to real improvement in catching and riding waves.”
Jen
“I just returned (to a snowstorm😩) from a three week stay in Playa Grande with the goal of improving my low/intermediate surfing level. Coco from Sistersurf helped me so much at every session; teaching me how to read the waves better, getting me to the right position, showing me how to angle on the take off, and giving me the confidence to continue myself.
But then, having Coco and Chelsea together? Amazing. They made it accessible and manageable for me. Plus, they are both so positive and fun and happy- worth every penny! Plus I feel like I have two good friends in them now. Thank you both for the wonderful times!!”
Built Around Confidence
Every retreat is designed around one core outcome: helping you feel capable.
Capable in the ocean.
Capable in your body.
Capable when something feels unfamiliar.
Surfing has a way of revealing your edges.
Doing it alongside women who are cheering you on changes everything.
This isn’t just about catching waves.
It’s about walking away trusting yourself more.
Upcoming Retreats
Puerto Rico April 18-24
Puerto Rico, often referred to as the Hawaii of the east coast, beckons surfers with its warm water, pristine waves and tropical ease.
In the spring, the surf softens and the crowds thin. All things we love! You’ll be coached at your level, feel supported in the lineup, and guided through video feedback so you can actually see your progress.
Perfect for all levels, it’s the perfect season to build confidence in the water. And it’s all just a short flight away from the US mainland.
Puerto Rico May 2-8
We love it so much we’re going twice.Puerto Rico in the Spring is one of our favorite places to be. Warm water. Friendly waves. Space in the lineup. So we added another May retreat.
Both retreats are held at Campo Mar Villas in Isabela — a lush, tucked-away property just steps from Shacks Beach.
The villas sit beneath a dramatic limestone cliff at the end of a quiet private road, centered around a black-bottom pool and tropical garden. It’s one of our favorite places and we think it might become one of yours, too.
Costa Rica May 30-June 6
Nestled in the rainforest along Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, this retreat offers a rare kind of surfing experience — tranquil waves, uncrowded lineups, and biodiversity that feels almost unreal.
The point break here peels gently into the bay, creating long, glassy rides with minimal wind. Because the wave wraps far into the gulf, conditions often stay smooth and approachable.
This retreat is about immersion. In nature. In surfing. In the kind of stillness that helps you reconnect to yourself.
Our Philosophy
At Sister Surf & Yoga Retreat, we create a playful, safe space where encouragement matters more than perfection. We teach technique, yes, but we also teach trust — trust in the ocean, in your body, and in the circle of women beside you. Seeing someone move from fear to flow, from doubt to stoke, is what makes every surf session worth it.
If you’re ready to push a little, laugh a lot, and find out what your next surf breakthrough feels like, come join us. We’ll be right there — cheering, guiding, and sharing the stoke.
