The Best Coaching Out There

“I had an incredible experience at the Tranquil Escape retreat in northern Nicaragua. The surf coaching is the best out there, truly. The learning never stopped. I was so grateful I had a notebook with me so that I could write down the dozens of things I wanted to remember. I felt that I really progressed during the week.The location is really perfect because there are multiple breaks to choose from, so depending on the level of the group there’s likely always something. I felt stretched on some days but not in a bad way, I always felt extremely safe and well taken care of.The food was outstanding. The chef is extremely observant of what the guests are eating and adjusts as the week goes to ensure everyone is totally satisfied. Her food was a delight!The accommodations are rustic, but very comfortable. I slept amazingly well after a night or two of orienting. Personally I prefer this kind of place over a hotel – I loved being outdoors and the fresh air and sound of the waves.”
