Born in NYC in 2014 with one Nicaragua trip and a hunch: strangers make the best travel crew. Five continents, 50+ weddings, and a perfect 5.0 later, the hunch checks out.
Surf
Adventure, risk, adrenaline. The thing that scares you a little and thrills you a lot.
Yoga
A deeper perspective on the short time we have. No woo-woo required.
Beer
Our chance to enjoy it all and not take anything too seriously.
"This feels like a secret people desperately need to know about."

The SYB Way
no white labels, we build it all
Most travel companies rent everything: the same local guides, the same itineraries, a logo slapped on top. We own every vertical, like Tesla builds its own batteries, motors, and software. We scout the destination, design the itinerary, train the leaders, and host the week ourselves. The SYB Academy is our Gigafactory.
We scout every trip ourselves
Before a trip hits the calendar, we fly out and test the villas, the waves, the drivers, and the dinner spots. If we would not send our own family, it does not run.
Real local relationships
We work directly with the villas, boats, and communities we have known for years. No middlemen, no markups on someone else's itinerary.
Leaders trained in our Academy
Every SYB leader graduates our 200-hour Academy and leadership immersion, then we fly them in to host you. They are our biggest difference maker.
Hosted, not toured
An SYB trip is hosted end to end like a retreat with your future best friends, not a white-labeled tour you could book from ten other companies.

Most SurfYogaBeer trips run with 12 to 30 travelers, and the exact number depends on the trip and the season. Big enough that there is always somebody up for the early surf and somebody up for the late dinner, small enough that you know everyone by the second day. Average age is 34, most travelers are 28 to 42, the minimum age is 21, and the majority book alone.
