Surf Retreats

This retreat was fantastic for so many reasons!! The most important for me was that there were two SURF sessions each day. This really improves Surfing and what I love about Pixie, was that we moved around to find the best break in the area for the best SURF each day. It is a small retreat with only four women and we got very specialized attention. Returning to my home break, a friend of mine said that she’d never seen me surf as good as she did on Sunday. I had all of the instruction in my head from Pixies detailed coaching and it really improved my level of Surfing! Additionally, Pixie took us to a different restaurant every night that had truly great food. That was an added bonus we didn’t anticipate. The yoga, massage, video analysis, fresh fruit shakes, and COCO Frios were also all favorites of the trip. Pixie is a great person who cares about her students and really is good at analyzing what is needed for improving and getting to the next level. Thanks Pixie and Titi for a fantastic surf week !! We can’t wait to come back!!

I have so many things to say about Pixies retreat and all of them are good. I went on one of Pixies women’s surf retreats with my mom and it was one of the best surf trips I’ve been on. Pixie did such an amazing job teaching us both in the water where we surf multiple times daily and out of the water where we had video reviews. Her instructional style paired with her great energy made every sesh fun and productive. I have taken many surf lessons over the years and pixies are the only ones I felt like I could actually see progress from. Not only was the surf aspect great but so was every other aspect of the retreat. She took us out to dinners every night that were both high quality safe and delicious. We were able to explore many of the surrounding towns and surf spots and the whole trip was packed with fun. 10/10 experience would love to do it again. I could go on and on about how amazing this retreat was. Pixie was phenomenal and made sure we had the best time. Great surf, great food, great yoga, great people, beautiful country.

Pixie was a fantastic host on this retreat. She went above and beyond to be sure that we all got good waves and had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. We went to a few different spots and Pixie was always planning for the best tides/times. The food was amazing for each meal the restaurant choices were spot on and there was a good balance between surf time, free time, and group time. It was nice that it is a small group and we were able to see some local spots and visit a waterfall too.

Pixie is the best surf instructor I’ve ever had. I feel like I really leveled up in my week with her coaching. I can better read the waves, have more confidence in the water, and significantly improved my takeoffs and turns. She’s also a kind, compassionate, and fun person who has incredible local knowledge and has developed a deep and sweet community in El Salvador. I had such a great trip and can’t wait to go back.

I only had my first lesson with Pixie today and I wanted to recommend her to everybody now already😍😍😍She is really structured and you feel that she does her courses with her heart! Asking indivually what my goals and struggles are and how I can effectively work on that. She asks already before and gives you confidence with her positive and warm actitude. If I compare her to my surfcamp experiences until now,this is a whole different level and I had a lot of key moments understanding what I can work on 🙂

Pixie was very helpful in getting me back into surfing and providing me with tips on progressing into an intermediate surfer. She’s passionate, attentive, and is holistic in her assessment of what improvements need to be made.

If you’re an advanced-beginner looking to level up your surf game and love the rights of El Salvador, join Pixie! This was the most well-rounded, blissful, progression-packed surf experience I’ve ever had. From day one, the vibe was dialed in. Each morning kicked off with a beach breakfast, surf check, and what to expect from the day. At the beginning of the trip we brushed up on reading surf reports; tide, swell direction, wind windows, crowd factor, where to sit in the lineup, etc. All the things you need to feel confident when paddling out. Pixie and her team somehow balanced pushing you just the right amount while keeping everything fun, supported, and safe. I left catching more waves with better timing and WAY more confidence! The food alone deserves its own review, absolutely delicious after long days in the water. Yoga and stretching sessions were integrated perfectly and the boards provided were in great shape, with options for different skill levels. What really sets this experience apart, though, is Pixie’s ability to break down surf progression in a way that makes sense. Whether it was paddle technique, reading waves, angled takeoffs, or confidence in bigger sets, she gave guidance that clicked instantly! I’m already planning my next trip back. Miss our belly laughs Pixie! 🌊☀️🤙

Pixie’s retreat was one of the best trips I’ve been on! She is an amazing teacher and guide. I learned so much about surfing, and what specifically I needed to do to improve. Pixie provided super focused coaching, and I always felt safe with her in the water. We also had a great time learning about the local area, ate amazing food, and had lots of laughs. Pixie and her surf spot are true gems. I highly recommend her retreats to surfers of all levels! I’m already scheming my next trip down!

I cannot recommend Pixie’s retreat enough. She took us to beautiful beaches with beautiful surf. She was so encouraging, gave great coaching (both technique and mental!) and put together an amazing week for the four of us — including delicious meals, a waterfall hike, yoga and massages. We’re already talking about going back!

I stayed a month in El Salvador and was able to book Pixie’s Surf Coach Package (Five 1‑on‑1 Coaching Sessions). I received good instruction from day 1, especially useful beta on the El Zonte A‑frame and where to sit. Pixie was flexible and frequently available for booking lessons around my work schedule (9–5), and was accommodating with getting video replay for feedback/analysis, although paying the $30 for someone else to do it was generally better. I didn’t make much progress on my frontside turn, but now understand the mechanics of it so I’m getting there on my own. My backside turns improved, thanks to Pixie’s coaching and a LOT of repetition on those right point breaks. Overall, a good experience and I look forward to seeing her video edit of me! Thanks Pixie!!
