Central American Surf Retreat Tour! In April of 2012, WSSM made womens surf media history. We invited women and girls, from all walks of life to join us on a surf adventure, and hosted our very first women’s surf retreat at Azul Surf Club, In El Salvador! (See page 26 for a detailed look at this amazing retreat) Business professionals, entrepreneurs, yogi’s, college students, highschoolers and mothers joined us for a time of relaxation, amazing surf, GREAT food, and culture. We spent our days surfing double sessions, relaxing in hammocks (while dreaming of our next session), eating to our hearts content, enjoying yoga and even an incredible massage to work out our sore muscles. What made it truly special, is that even though most of us had never met before, there was a camaraderie that developed so
quickly between the women, and just rippled through the lineup. Cheers would ring off the surrounding cliffs from our photographer, videographer, and noodle-armed surfer girls taking a break on shore, as one of the ladies in our group dropped in on some of the best waves of her life. Quick to root her on, then jump in excitment as she exited... such an encouraging enviroment was created that several of the guys in the lineup actually confessed they wished we would all cheer for them like that! Haha ! It was a trip we’ll never forget because James Vybiral, and Gabriel Fernandez were there every step of the way, documenting and capturing our crazy antics, tender moments and triumphant rides. And everyone got a copy of their surf pics and video, too! How cool is that! Look for our upcoming short film to be released in late
