Surfsgiving Retreat
Thanksgiving Surf and Yoga Retreat
November 25 – December 1, 2024 ~ Coed
At Pura Vida Adventures, we believe that positive energy is the pulse of life. That is why we created Surfsgiving, a week of sharing in gratitude and abundance by “giving thanks” for all the fantastic things we have in our lives.
This special week is packed with fun— surfing, yoga, adventure, and plenty of chill time under the warm Costa Rican sun. We’re also hosting a special Thanksgiving fiesta, Costa Rican style, PLUS our famous “Paddle Out for Gratitude” session, where we take a moment to reflect and give thanks while riding the waves.
Grab your friends or family, or come solo and head down to sunny Costa Rica this November for a Thanksgiving week to remember!
“Wow, what a week! I had such an amazing time this week and truly don’t have words to express the gratitude I have for the team at Pura Vida. All I can say is that I can’t wait to be back. XOXO.”
