What people are saying about Past Retreats
I have been thinking a lot about how to take another trip and keep my progress going. I sincerely feel like I got more than I paid for.
Overall great trip. Top notch coaching with specific feedback - I improved more here than the other two similar surf retreats I’ve done combined!
This was my first surf trip. As a beginner I found it welcoming and well thought out. I learned a lot and left the experience more confident. The coaches and trip leader were great and I felt as though they were having as much fun as me. Very well done and I will be sure to do it again!
Such a fun trip and can’t wait to do it again. It’s the first time I’ve done something like this, I thought it was awesome. The coaches were awesome as was our group leader. The video sessions were really helpful, especially being able to actually see the mistakes I was repeating. I walked away with exactly what I had hoped for which is surf friends, great coaching, and tons of skills to work on!
I would love to go back to Puerto Rico! The trip was phenomenal!! Tons of value for the price and a great way to meet people, I love everything about it. Thanks for an incredible trip.
Maybe I'm still riding the high of the trip, but I thought the details were well thought out and planned. The coaching was incredibly thorough, and definitely contributed to my progress! I have nothing but great things to say and can't wait to do it again!
Wake up on the two best surf breaks in the Caribbean.
Beachfront villa. Private pool. Hot tub. Private chef. Walk out the door, grab a board and surf Maria's or Dogman's.
It starts the moment you sign up.
This isn't just a surf trip. It's a progression system that starts the moment you sign up.
Our Swim to Surf and Gym to Surf programs, weekly check-ins, and community get you surf-ready before you even land in Puerto Rico. The goal: 2–5x your wave count so you arrive ready to surf your brains out and squeeze maximum progress out of your week.

Laser focused on your goals.
Our beachfront house sits directly on two of the best surf breaks in the Caribbean: Maria's and Dogman's. The second you arrive, grab a board and paddle out for a sunset session.
Over the week, you'll get 10 coached surf sessions, including 5 filmed sessions with video analysis. Between sessions, surf as much as you want.
And with our surf shop partnership, you'll have access to an unlimited selection of boards. Don't love what you're riding? Swap it out. Want to experiment with something new? Try as many boards as you want.
Four coaches. Nine surfers. That's it.
With 4 coaches and just 9 surfers, you'll get highly individualized coaching while still being part of a group.
We split into surf pods based on ability, so complete beginners and advanced surfers can join the same week, surf different breaks, and make massive progress at their own level.
Everything is set up for your body to bounce back.
Between sessions, eat, recover, and recharge. Hang by the beachfront pool, walk along the beach, or just do absolutely nothing.
Our private chef prepares three fresh, nourishing meals every day. Food that fills you up after a surf without weighing you down for the next one. Snacks and drinks are always at the house, too.
And you'll share the week with 8 other surfers who are just as stoked to be there. Some come alone, some with friends. Everyone leaves with a community.
Sleep like a rock. Wake up and check the surf.
After a full day of surfing, unwind in the hot tub and settle into your quiet beachfront home on a private acre.
Get a great night's sleep, wake up, and look out the window to check the surf.
Then grab your board and do it all over again.
Best variety of waves on the planet.
Rincón sits on the corner of Puerto Rico, giving us dozens of breaks and conditions to choose from. Whether you're looking for glassy two-foot peelers or steep overhead walls, we can find the right wave for your level.
Winter brings consistent swell and mornings often mean light winds and glassy conditions. Best of all, our coaches have surfed Rincón their entire lives. We know where to go, when to go, and which wave is right for you.
Nobody eats alone.
The people are the reason our guests keep coming back. Our community is warm, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming, whether you show up alone or with friends, whether you're from Boston or much further afield.
The only rule at BSA: nobody eats alone. You'll be surfing, eating, and hanging out with the same small group all week, and by day three it stops feeling like a trip you booked and starts feeling like a crew you're part of.
Most people leave with friends they still surf with years later.
The easiest trip you'll take.
Puerto Rico is a 4-hour direct flight from Boston, with direct flights from major East Coast cities. No connections, no passport, no complicated travel days.
Once you land, we handle everything: airport pickup, ground transportation, and every logistics detail.
You just need to show up.
Everything is included!
Here's what each piece would cost you on its own.
