Come As You Are
You don’t need to be an advanced surfer—or already have someone to go with.
Maybe you’ve dreamed about taking a surf trip, but booking one on your own feels intimidating. You may still be learning, not have friends who can travel with you, or feel nervous about arriving somewhere without knowing anyone.
That is exactly why we’re creating this trip.
The Ventura Surf Girlies Costa Rica trip is designed for women who want to surf, explore, and experience Costa Rica with a built-in community. Come by yourself, come at your current level, and leave with more confidence, new memories, and an entire crew of surf friends.
YOUR RETREAT PACKAGE
Don't worry about a thing.
Seven nights, six coached surf sessions, three professional video coaching sessions, downloadable surf video footage, daily breakfast, three included meal experiences, airport transportation, yoga, excursions, two excursions to nearby beaches and/or towns and the thoughtful details that make this feel like far more than a standard surf camp.
This isn’t just a room and a few surf lessons.
You’re getting a fully coordinated week with beachfront accommodations, professional surf coaching, unlimited board access, filmed sessions, instructor feedback, airport transportation, excursions, wellness, included meals, and a built-in community from the moment you arrive.
Booking each piece separately would mean arranging your own lodging, airport transfers, surf school, rentals, tours, meals, schedule, and travel group. Here, the logistics are already handled—so you can simply show up, surf, and enjoy the experience.
A LOOK AT YOUR WEEK
Eight days of surf, connection, and enough downtime to actually enjoy Costa Rica.
The activities listed here are guaranteed with the potential for more being added, not less. The exact schedule may shift based on surf conditions, weather, and the group, but this gives you a feel for what’s planned minimally.
