Enjoy a delicious breakfast and then we'll head out to the Caribbean Coast.  The trip is approximately 5 hours and we'll have lunch en route.  

We'll check in at Sonora and after some downtime, we'll head to the pool for the first step in bodysurfing: perfecting your stroke with your helpful bodysurf instructors. You will also discuss fear in the ocean (a perfectly normal occurrence), as well as strategies to stay calm and be confident.

We'll have a lovely dinner at Sonora and enjoy some additional bodysurf related discussion and conclude it all with a wonderful first night of sleep!

Before breakfast (but first coffee), we'll head down to the beach to put what you've learned so far about wave sliding into action with the week's first ocean bodysurfing class. 

After some wave sliding, we'll head back for a nourishing breakfast and some pool time. The rest of the day is yours to head back to the beach, enjoy the pool, or take a nap!  Lunch will be on your own.

We will enjoy dinner together and then head to bed for another wonderful night of sleep. 

Note: the order of affairs may change slightly due to weather and tides.

Wake up with the birds and enjoy some delicious Costa Rican coffee, fruit, and head down to the beach for your daily bodysurf class, where you will continue mastering this artful sport.  We'll enjoy a nice breakfast and more coffee when we return to the retreat center after our ocean time.

Lunch is on your own and luxuriate in free time in the afternoon, and then convene for the crew's favorite bodysurfing film(s) after dinner.

This is a nice mid-week break from bodysurfing to allow your body to rest and recharge.

You still have breakfast and dinner waiting for you at the lodge but you are also free to explore on your own, and do a tour or activity in the area. We are more than happy to help you arrange!  

Tours options include:

• Jaguar Rescue Center

• Waterfall Hike

• Bri Bri Indigenous Community Experience

• Cahuita National Park Hike and Snorkel

• Whitewater Rafting

• Chocolate Making

• Surfing

By now, you know the drill: wake up, coffee, amble down to the beach, launch yourself into some epic waves under the tutelage of the best bodysurf instructors around. Head back to home base, chill in the pool, eat a delicious breakfast.

Lunch and activities on your own in the afternoon.

After another nice dinner together, you will be excited to get to bed. 

Note: the order of affairs may change slightly due to weather and tides.

We'll enjoy one last bodysurf session in which you will see (and feel) it all come together — all these separate techniques and skills you have been learning over the course of the week will all come together on a liquid stage. We'll have breakfast to recharge the batteries and then pack up and head to San Jose.

We'll stop for lunch and snacks along the way.  We'll be staying at a hotel near the San Jose International Airport for our final night in Costa Rica.

We'll enjoy one last breakfast together at the hotel and relive all our bodysurfing stories before departing for the airport for your flight home.  Thank you for joining us!

Don't worry — we will have another retreat in a new location next year!
