Surf with Chicas
Nosara, Costa Rica
March 8-15, 2025
Pura Vida.
The perfect blend of retreat and vacation in a location remote enough to disconnect; paired with modern comforts and hospitality to indulge yourself in a well-deserved escape, our women’s surf retreat is truly something special and one of our favorite offerings at WOW.
We converge on the pristine palm-fringed shores of Costa Rica to do life together; to rest, eat, laugh, cry, explore creation and share our love for surfing. We’ll celebrate and cherish the gift of community, coming together as strong, courageous like-minded women to forge friendships, bonds, and family that will last a lifetime.
Won’t you join us?
Why you need this…
Life can get busy and burdened to the point that we deprive ourselves of the simple yet essential graces.
Sometimes we just need to get away, find our tribe, and be reminded of who we are; where we come from and where we are going.
If that does’t resonate, then perhaps a week of sipping fresh coconut water (straight from the coconut) in between epic surf sessions and unforgettable sunsets does!
We have carefully picked the WOW team and the location where this beautiful experience will unfold. Every day on retreat will be filled with surfing, stretching, healing food, workshops, and unique experiences; from horseback riding on the beach to kayaking through mystic mangroves and more.
Prepare yourself for a week that will challenge your mind and body and expand your heart and soul. Learn to live abundantly, always ready for the unexpected and full of gratitude for the present, in the end leaving you overwhelmed with joy.
This week you have permission to…
BREATHE. MOVE. EXPLORE.
LET GO. CONNECT. HEAL.
& HAVE FUN!
Again we ask, won’t you join us?
Welcome to Nosara…
Step into Nosara where the jungle meets the sea and adventure calls to the inspired heart. As you arrive in this magical corner of the world, you'll feel the warm embrace of Playa Guiones, where golden sands stretch as far as the eye can see, and the rhythm of the waves becomes your heartbeat. Nosara is more than just a place—it's an experience, a way of life that captivates the soul.
Imagine waking up to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees, the scent of fresh sea air mingling with the tropical greenery. Your mornings will start with sunrises that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink, leading you to the crystal-clear waters that make Playa Guiones a surfer’s paradise. Whether you’re carving waves for the first time or perfecting your technique, the warm waters and consistent breaks welcome all levels with open arms.
But Nosara isn’t just about the surf—it’s about connection. Here, the community thrives on a shared passion for nature, wellness, and adventure. You’ll discover yoga shalas tucked beneath palm trees, beachside cafés serving up organic treats, and a local culture that values sustainability and mindful living. The pace is slow, the smiles are wide, and the sense of belonging is immediate.
You’ll find yourself immersed in the wild beauty that makes Nosara so unique. From the wildlife-rich jungle trails to the laid-back vibe of the local surf shops, every moment is a blend of excitement and tranquility. At night, you'll gather under the stars with like-minded women, sharing stories and building friendships that last beyond the waves.
Nosara is more than a destination—it’s a transformative experience, a place where adventure, community, and nature come together in perfect harmony. Bold women like you deserve a retreat that’s as inspiring and unforgettable as the path you’re carving, both in and out of the water.
your next adventure begins here.
What To Expect
-
Disconnect
Give yourself permission to turn off the notifications as you immerse yourself in this pristine wonderland of palm fringed beaches and wild jungle waterfalls. Leave behind what doesn’t serve you and indulge your senses outdoors with fresh air, plenty of sun along with the sights and sounds of nature.
-
Move
From mental health to physical strength, movement has a myriad of benefits for the mind, body, and soul, and let’s face it, most of us don’t do enough of it. While we definitely keep things moving, we do it in a way that feels natural and fun rather than forced and exhaustive.
-
Grow
We jump at opportunities to learn more, embrace new habits, let go of old stories, say no to patterns that do not serve us, and yes to truth. We affirm value, realize purpose, and pursue our destiny as together we progress on the path to becoming the people we were created to be.
-
Play
Research shows that play is our brain’s favorite way of learning and almost all creativity comes from purposeful play. Play is not just about having fun but taking risks, experimenting, and testing boundaries. We invite you and your inner child to join us as we run, swim, jump, dig, dance, smile, and laugh our way through paradise.
-
Connect
Whether we’re sharing meals, up late sharing stories, or gathered in prayer & worship we believe in doing life together. Community is key here and our hearts are as open as our arms to invite, welcome, listen, accept, embrace and support, whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another adventure.
-
Give
While we want you to soak in all the goodness that comes with our amazing retreat experience, we also invite you to receive by giving back as we show love and support for our local communities through service projects and donations.

Surf Better
We welcome and cater to surfers of all levels. Whether beginner or experienced you’ll receive personalized coaching and tips to improve technique and skill from your current level.
While we always surf together as a tribe, we’ll work with you on an individual basis to identify your goals for the week, equipping you with the tools and providing support needed to achieve them.

Made to Move
During your stay we invite you to move with us through a series of sessions and workshops focused on stretching, breath work, and meditation. These gentle and accessible exercises are designed to prepare your mind and body for time in the ocean as well as help heal and rejuvenate after surfing.
In addition our daily routine will have you feeling stronger, more flexible, aware and in tune with your body as we move about and explore the natural landscape.
Celebrate Sisterhood
We subscribe to connecting with people; sharing our stories, struggles, hopes, and dreams, relating to common threads in our human experience, nurturing appreciation and compassion for one another while forging bonds that will last a lifetime.
This gathering of diverse, strong, and inspiring women brought together by their passion for the ocean, desire for community, and love for the Lord, is one that cannot be explained entirely with words, only to be fully appreciated when experienced in person.
