Our Last Trip of the Season.
Three things you will do on this trip that you will still be talking about years later.
Surf lessons at sunriseStart the day learning to surf on warm Pacific waves with instructors who do this every week. First time popping up or chasing your best ride yet, there is nothing quite like the light at sunrise and a beach with nobody else on it.
Catamaran to Playa BlancaWe cruise the coastline out to Playa Blanca, a cove with the whitest sand in Nicaragua. Swim in water you can see the bottom of, lie on the sand, and work through food, drinks and a lot of laughing. No crowds, just your crew and an absurd stretch of beach.
Sunset yoga on the deckEvery evening ends with a flow on our panoramic deck, jungle on one side, ocean on the other and a sunset that shows up every single night. Stretch, breathe, and watch the sky go. This is the bit people describe first when they get home.
📅 The day by day
Six days. Every single one of them optional.
Land by 3pm, shuttle to Playa Maderas, straight into the ocean.
Fly into Managua, or Liberia in Costa Rica, by 3pm and we scoop you up in the SYB shuttle for the drive to Playa Maderas. First order of business on arrival is dropping your bags and sprinting into the ocean. Travel grime gone. As the sun goes down we sit for a family style dinner and toast the week. Some people watch the stars, some are already dancing with people they met two hours ago.
Workouts, beach games and breakfast, all before 9am.
Wake up calls, then straight into morning workouts, beach games, a dip in the ocean to clean up and a proper breakfast, all before 9am. A chill hour by the pool, then down to the beach for surf lessons, tacos, a cold beer and the kind of laughing that only happens with people you met yesterday. Sunset yoga, then whatever the night turns into.
Surf lessons part two, sunset yoga, then salsa lessons.
Like yesterday, different workouts. After breakfast we walk down the beach for surf lessons part two, and today it is all about the surfing. Back to the house yoga deck over that same ocean for a sunset session, which is where the magic happens, although some of us just watch the sunset with a drink instead. Dinner at home, salsa lessons and games until late.
A full day on the boat, then dinner in San Juan del Sur.
After the usual morning workout we head to the marina for a full day on a catamaran. It is one of the highlights of the trip: a white sand beach, snorkelling, fresh food on the boat and drinks as we sail into the sunset. Pack a change of clothes because dinner is in San Juan del Sur. It is a beach town, so shoes are optional.
Sleep in, then everything at once, then the awards.
Sleep in, we know what last night was. We start at 10am, and once we start we do not stop. Morning workouts, surf lessons, pool time, sunset yoga on the viewing deck, and for the last night together, the SYB awards ceremony.
Check out at 8am, van to the airport, group chat forever.
Everyone checks out at 8am and takes the SYB van to Managua or Liberia, so pick a flight that leaves after noon. Until next time, or until the next party, because this friendship only just started.
Every day is optional. Do all of it, or lie by the pool and meet us for dinner.

Real moments from real crews. Post yours and you are in the archive.
With us, it is.
We’ve been running trips to Nicaragua since 2016 and have never had any safety issues. We work with the same trusted local team, drivers, and surf partners who know the area extremely well.
You’ll be staying in a gated villa community with 24/7 security, and everything from airport pickup to daily activities is organized in advance.
You’re not navigating anything on your own. From the moment you land, you’re taken care of and moving as part of the group.
