Located in Puerto Vallarta, in the small town of Sayulita, Mexico, Las Olas is set against the beautiful backdrop of Banderas Bay. This rustic locale offers not only great surfing experiences but also a rich local culture with charming stores and restaurants. The retreat is designed for women of all surfing skill levels, from beginners to advanced, and the instruction is available in both English and Spanish.
Las Olas offers a variety of activities including daily surf classes, private lessons, and surf safaris to secret beaches.
