Top 3 Iconic Moments

🏄🏼‍♀️ Sunrise Surf Lessons

Hit the waves at Playa Maderas with our local surf crew we’ve been working with for over 10 years. Whether you’re standing up for the first time or chasing your cleanest ride yet, the energy of sunrise and a beach to yourself makes every session unforgettable.


⛵️ Catamaran Adventure to Playa Blanca

Sail the coastline with the crew to a hidden white-sand cove. Swim, snorkel, eat, drink, and laugh with no crowds in sight. Just your friends, crystal water, and an epic stretch of paradise.


🌅 Sunset Yoga with Ocean Views

Unwind each evening with yoga on the deck overlooking the Pacific. The jungle behind you, the ocean in front, and the sky on fire with sunset. These are the moments you’ll carry home long after the trip.

📅 The Schedule

01/

ARRIVAL DAY

DAY 1

Your flight needs to arrive before 3pm to make the SYB van transfer to Playa Maderas from either Managua, Nicaragua or Liberia, Costa Rica. It's about a 3-hour drive that includes a border crossing (from Costa Rica). 

Arrive at our stunning hilltop villas, with panoramic views of the beach below. After getting settled, you’ll have time to relax and explore the area. In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner and orientation, where we’ll discuss your surf goals for the week and set expectations for the days ahead.

SURF AND WORKOUT

DAY 2

Get ready to experience SYB to its fullest. We begin with wake-up calls, start the day with your first surf session to assess your skills and set specific goals for the week.

Afterward, we’ll dive into your first personalized lesson, focusing on technique and positioning. In the afternoon, we’ll review video footage of your session, providing actionable feedback. Then, it’s back into the water for your second surf session of the day.

Don't worry, we'll take a chill moment to soak everything by the pool in between, maybe even a jungle gym session to get the blood moving again! 

Next, it's into the night with your themed attire, meet for an epic pre party at our private beach bon fire before heading to the local taco and tequila bar on the beach. 

SURF, YOGA, BEER

DAY 3

Each day will be packed with surf sessions and personalized lessons. You’ll start each morning with a surf session, followed by a lesson tailored to refine your skills. After lunch, we’ll review video footage from the day’s session and focus on areas for improvement. We’ll try to squeeze in a yoga class, jungle gym session and then in the afternoon, you’ll take to the waves again to practice what you’ve learned. This evening we’re brining our salsa dancing teacher for an extra lil lesson on how to move those hips!

CATAMARAN DAY

DAY 4

After our usual morning workout and surf session, we will make our way to the marina for a full day on a catamaran. This is truly one of the highlights of this trip as we head to a white sand beach to snorkel, enjoy fresh food on the boat and enjoy drinks sailing into the sunset.

Pack a spare change of clothes because we're staying in San Juan Del Sur for dinner tonight! And friends, you better warm up those vocal cords we are doing karaoke at our favorite spot! Shoes are optional but singing is not! 

FULL SYB DAY

DAY 5

It’s time to show off what you’ve learned. We’ll start with one final surf session, followed by a video analysis to track your progress. Afterward, we’ll celebrate your hard work with a closing ceremony, recognizing your improvements and reflecting on the week’s progress. Then, we’ll wrap up with sunset viewing deck yoga, and for our last night together, we have our SYB awards ceremony!

BACK TO REALITY

DAY 6

Everyone will be checking out at 8am and be taking the SYB van to Managua and Liberia airport, so be sure to choose a flight that departs after noon.

Until next time... or until we throw our next party because this friendship just started!

FAQs

Because this is the most focused way to get better at surfing, fast.

Surf Camp is built around time in the water. You’ll be surfing every day, with coaching, guidance, and repetition that actually helps you improve, whether you’re just starting or already comfortable on a board.

At the same time, you still get the best parts of the experience. You’re staying in the same Playa Maderas villas, eating well, working out, and sharing the week with a small group of like-minded people.

It’s a bit more dialed, a bit more intentional, and a great fit if your main goal is to surf more and come away noticeably better.

All of our Nicaragua trips happen in the same place, but each one has a slightly different focus and feel.

Surf Camp is the most surf-focused option. You’ll still get workouts and group energy, but more time is dedicated to improving your surfing and being in the water.

SurfYogaBeer (classic trip) is the best balance. You get surf, workouts, yoga, social events, and a bit of everything. It’s active, social, and the most well-rounded version of the experience.

New Year’s Eve (NYE) is our biggest, most high-energy trip of the year. Same core structure, but with a larger group, more parties, and a big focus on celebrating going into the new year.

Reset & Recharge is the most wellness-focused. Think slower mornings, more yoga, more recovery, and a bit less emphasis on nightlife. It’s still social, just more grounded.

No matter which one you choose, you’ll be staying in the same villas, with the same team, and getting a mix of surf, movement, and community. It just depends on what kind of week you’re looking for.


Yes, and most people do.

The setup makes it easy. You’re training together, surfing together, eating together. It doesn’t take long before it feels like you came with a group.

People who genuinely want to spend time in the water.

You’ll meet a mix of:

  • Beginners who want to learn properly
  • Intermediate surfers looking to improve
  • Active people who enjoy structure and routine


It’s a smaller, more focused group, but still social and easygoing.

Yes, very.

Surf is the priority, so you’ll be in the water daily, often more than once. On top of that, there are optional workouts, mobility sessions, and time to stay active outside the surf.

It’s not overwhelming, but it’s definitely not a sit-by-the-pool kind of week.

More dialed, but still relaxed.

Days have a bit more structure around surf sessions, but there’s still plenty of downtime to recover, hang by the pool, and connect with the group.

It’s focused without feeling intense.

Everything is centered around Playa Maderas.

You’ll stay in a group of nearby villas just steps from the beach, with access to:

  • Surf breaks
  • Beach workouts
  • Town nearby


It’s one home base, which makes the whole week feel easy and connected.

With us, it is.

We’ve been running trips to Nicaragua since 2015 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.

Yes.

We have a photographer and videographer on the trip, so you can stay present and still come away with great content from the week.

If your main goal is to surf more and actually improve, then yes.

It’s a great fit if you:

  • Want consistent time in the water
  • Like having a bit of structure to your days
  • Enjoy being around others with a similar focus


If you’re looking for more of a social, all-around experience with parties and variety, the classic SurfYogaBeer trip may be a better fit.
