I run Surf, Yoga, and Adventure retreats for women primarily in Nicaragua, but also sometimes El Salvador, Costa Rica, and other awesome interesting locations around the world. We specialize in providing you a hassle-free, but adventure-heavy experience where you can learn to surf or improve your existing skills, do yoga, interact with the local community in a positive way, and push beyond your comfort level to come away feeling energized, inspired, and empowered.
For more info and to sign up for a retreat, check out SurfWithAmigas.com

Holly, this is a great idea you came up with! i hope it beomes a great success!
Sweet life…..Are there co-ed trips?
hey Jake, yeah! which trip interested you most?
…just give me the list of vaccination and i am in for all of the above 🙂
I can’t help but smile, I’m all about the “giving back”. When’s the next Nico trip and can boys play? We haven’t shared a surf since the NSSA days, good times from what I remember (besides having my behind handed to me on several occasions LOL).

Would love to put together a surf trip with some ladies in my area. That boat trip to Fiji is a definite with my husband when my young boys are a little older! Maybe Nicaragua next winter (2011-12) if you have any dates – please add me to your email list. Also, let me know the minimum number of participants you need to run a camp down there – thanks!
The nicaragua trip looks amazing!! Do you have any more dates available? Do you have to have prior surf experience?
no prior experience required! for more info and dates, check out http://www.surfwithhollybeck.com

Hello Holy, My name is Nicole Carp and I am native Portuguese. My husbond and I manage three guesthouses in Ericeira – Europe´s First World Surfing Reserve 🙂 I am a Certified Yoga Instructor (Shivananda yoga – Astanga – Strala Yoga), a mother of two and also surf. I was hoping you would be interested in organising a new Surf with Amigas location – trip for 2017 or 2018 in Portugal? We have an awesome Villa near Ribeira d´Ilhas beach with 5 rooms (double and couple), a swimming pool, horses and green fields for outdoor yoga, soccer, training, stretching….I send you the link: https://www.airbnb.pt/rooms/647795
Here is my latest project with the Ericeira group of Schools (giving marine biology classes on location + picking up beachtrash)…just so you get a feel for this fisherman/surfer´s paradise and hear me out: Skeleton Sea – The Tides of Tomorrow: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_so_3cW1sbNVVBOMjNLbFMzRTg/view
Hope to hear from you.

Just found this site, I am a RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteer) who served in El Salvador from 1998-2000. Looks very interesting and will share this site with other El Sal RPCVs.
Thanks Holly – c.
