Coed Surf Adventures
We have received numerous inquiries from PVA surf chicas who want their guy comrades to share in the "pura vida" fun, so we also offer coed surf adventures.
Our surf and yoga retreats truly embrace the "pura vida" way: meeting new friends, sharing the sport of surfing, practicing the art of yoga, relaxation, laughter and fun. Because of this vibe, the coed camp dynamics are the same as our all female camps. The coed adventures consist of friends, solo travelers and couples.

The accommodations are top-notch, the food is gourmet, and the quality of surf and yoga instruction is unsurpassed for the area. My time at Pura Vida was unreal and unforgettable. It included new experiences and new friends all in a fun and unpretentious setting fostered by the great staff of Pura Vida". Tyler Rygus ~ Calgary, Canada

Yes. There is always something to learn at our surf camps! You will have a surf coach that will guide you to the different surf spots and will help you further your surfing skills. We have a surf van that allows us to check out the other breaks in the area, so you will be able to surf multiple surf spots.
