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!!”
Every retreat is designed around one core outcome: helping you feel more confident in the ocean.
More comfortable in the lineup. More capable on your board. More willing to paddle for the wave that scares you just a little.
Surfing has a way of showing you what you’re capable of.
Doing it alongside women who are cheering you on makes it even better.
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
El Salvador
October 31- November 6
We're heading to one of El Salvador's most iconic waves—Punta Mango.
Known for its long, powerful right-hand point break, Punta Mango offers wave after wave of open faces, allowing you to link turns, build speed, and take your surfing to the next level!
Northern Costa Rica
November 28th- December 4th
Experience Playa Grande’s stunning 4-mile white sand beach with perfect waves in a picturesque setting. Winter months we generally have smaller surf, 2-4ft and this bay picks up a lot of swell and never goes flat.
This is quintessential Costa Rica. Think blue skies, clear water, beautiful waves and smiles all around!
Puerto Rico Mini
December 11th -13th
Puerto Rico, often referred to as the Hawaii of the east coast, beckons surfers with its pristine waves and easily accessible location just a short flight away from the US mainland. At our retreat, we strive to find the best surf spots that promise unforgettable sessions for both novice riders and experienced surfers alike.
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.
