Meet Sara.
Sara is the wordsmith behind SurfYogaBeer’s blog, turning SYB adventures into stories you can feel. She captures the magic, the energy and the moments you wish you could relive, then leaves her mark the same way she does on every trip: bringing the crew together for unforgettable moments, great stories, and glitter you’ll be finding long after the trip is over.
- How did you find SYB?
- My friend and I wanted to do something social for NYE (and escape the cold NY winter). We found SYB on a whim, booked our flights to Nicaragua, and it was the best decision!
- Favorite SYB moment?
- The night everyone stayed up telling stories, and I knew half of them would end up on the blog.
- Something people wouldn’t guess about you?
- I bring glitter on every trip. You’ll be finding it long after you get home.
- What are your specialties?
- Trip stories
- The SYB blog
- Bringing the crew together
- Glitter

Come solo. Leave with a crew.
SYB has run active and social group trips out of NYC since 2014. Most people come solo. By the last night, nobody feels like it.
