Ready to take a break from the digital world?
In a world where our attention is constantly pulled in a hundred directions, true presence has become rare. Notifications, emails, scrolling—it never really stops. And somewhere in all of it, we lose touch with something essential: ourselves, the natural world, and the deep, meaningful connections we crave with other women.
Our days orbit around the tide
The three of us sisters are water beings through and through. Day to day routines shift with the tides. In Playa Grande we surf near the high tide, if it is an early morning high tide we dawn patrol, midday high tide we begin our days with a yoga class. One thing is for sure each day begins with a cup of piping hot coffee or tea. We rise with the sun and go to sleep closely after it sets.

As three teenage girls growing up on the small island of St. John you get noticed. Especially when you are homeschooled and hitchhike everywhere with your surf boards at all hours of the day.
We had outgrown the small wind waves of Reef Bay and had graduated to the real stuff. Our favorite spot was on Tortola—it still is. This particular surf spot was famous not for its waves, but for the full moon psychedelic parties at the beach bar situated directly in front of the main break
Fear comes to people in all different ways in surfing. It may be just diving under a wave for the first time, or fear of turtle rolling or a fear of wiping out and getting hurt. As surf instructors, these are things we can teach and guide you through.
We want to share our story of our sisterhood and how blood may not be thicker than water, not salt water anyway
The Osa Peninsula may not be the easiest place to reach, but it is defiantly worth the travel time. The jungle creeps right to the sea and a plethora of wildlife can be viewed from your front porch. Macaws, toucans, parrots and monkeys are just a few of the locals here. The Osa also happens to be home to consistent southwest swell April- October.
