If a full retreat vibe isn’t your thing, a mini retreat gives you the space and downtime to sharpen your surfing skills. Perfect for solo practice, short escapes, or anyone who wants improvement but does not have the time full getaway.

We love Playa Grande; it is where it all began for us sisters. Sand bottom, great surf, easy access from Liberia Airport. Did we mention it never goes flat here! There are always waves every day and surfing here gives you lots of opportunity to maximize your wave count.

Our mini retreats include three days jam packed with tons of surfing, in water coaching, video analysis, and so much more. Below is an outline of the day-to-day program. The days are scheduled around the surf, and we generally surf around sunrise to get the best conditions.

Whether you are a first-time surfer or looking to improve your skills our goal for these mini retreats is for you to leave feeling more confident in your surfing in and out of the water.
