Meet Katherine.
In just one week at Chica Brava, she worked on her technique, built confidence, and made real progress in the water. And this is what makes our program different: we don’t just take you surfing. We give you the coaching, feedback, video analysis, and tools to understand your surfing and keep improving, wave after wave. What can six days in the water do for your surfing? Katherine’s progress at Chica Brava gives you a little taste of what’s possible.
Curious what that could look like for you?
Learning to surf is all about showing up, trying new things, and being willing to learn from every wave. And sometimes, all you need is a little time, the right coaching, and a whole lot of practice.
At Chica Brava, we combine daily surf sessions with surf theory, intentionally small groups, personalized coaching, and video feedback analysis to help you understand your surfing and figure out what to work on next.

Over six days, Katherine’s progression is a reminder of what can happen when you make surfing your priority. Every surfer is different, and there’s no magic formula for improvement, but dedicating a week to learning, practicing, and getting out of your comfort zone is a pretty great place to start. And it’s not just about the waves. It’s about building confidence, celebrating the little wins, and sharing the experience with an incredible crew of women who are cheering you on.
Now imagine spending a week doing the same: fresh homemade breakfasts, chasing waves, personalized coaching, daily video analysis, and a whole crew of women cheering you on. All with the ocean views, epic sunsets, and laid-back magic at our retreats. This is what is waiting for you in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
See you in the lineup.
