We’re beyond excited to offer a surf and yoga retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, designed just for women 50 and over! Picture yourself laughing, learning, and catching waves alongside an incredible group of women. Whether you’ve never surfed or are ready to sharpen your skills, our team is here to provide hands-on instruction and support.
We’ve taught hundreds of women 50+ to surf, and we know the magic that happens when you step into something new. While our regular retreats welcome women ages 20 to 70, this retreat is designed specifically for you—with personalized support, encouragement, and a focus on fun, connection, and adventure.
And because you deserve a little indulgence, we’ve added something special: our “Goddess Afternoon” at the tide pools—a luxurious beachside spa experience surrounded by the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not! We’ve taught hundreds of women 50+ to surf, including many who had never touched a surfboard before arriving in Costa Rica. Our small-group coaching meets you at your level and lets you progress at your own pace—with plenty of encouragement, laughter, and high-fives along the way.
Absolutely! Complete beginners are welcome and make up a big part of our retreats. With personalized coaching and a maximum 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio, you’ll get plenty of individual attention while learning in a fun and supportive environment.
Come surf with us! We welcome all levels, and our maximum 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio means plenty of personalized coaching for experienced surfers, too. We’ll work with your individual goals, surf different breaks when conditions allow, and use video analysis to help take your surfing to the next level.
Many do! You definitely don’t need to bring a friend to join us. Our retreats are intentionally small and community-focused, making it easy to connect with other women and feel part of the group from day one.
Our Women 50+ retreats bring together women in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. There’s no “perfect” age to join us—just a shared sense of adventure, a willingness to try something new, and a desire to experience an unforgettable week with an incredible group of women.
You don’t need to be an athlete to join us, but surfing is a physical activity. Our coaches meet you where you are and help you progress at your own pace. And remember—this is your vacation! You’re always welcome to take a break, skip a session, relax by the pool, or treat yourself to some extra downtime.
Not at all—this is your vacation! We encourage you to join in as much as you’d like, but everything is optional. Surf, practice yoga, head out on an adventure, relax by the pool, enjoy some extra spa time, or simply kick back and soak up paradise. It’s your week to enjoy your way.
Our Goddess Afternoon is a special experience created just for our Women 50+ retreat. It’s a chance to slow down, indulge, connect, and celebrate yourself in a beautiful setting by the tide pools—a little extra Pura Vida magic just for this week.
Your all-inclusive retreat includes luxury accommodations, small-group surf coaching, yoga, a one-hour massage, surf equipment, video analysis, transportation to surf breaks, and three healthy, gourmet meals each day—including meals enjoyed at some of our favorite restaurants around town. You’ll also have plenty of time to relax or add optional Costa Rica adventures to your week.
Absolutely. We’re happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and many other dietary needs. Just let us know before you arrive so our team can make sure you’re well taken care of throughout the week.
WAVE REVIEWS
“Thank you for the best vacation! I went down to Costa Rica feeling like I was simply walking though life but not actually living it and now I feel more alive than ever. You have an amazing group of instructors and are running a spectacular program.”
