Where the rhythm of the waves meets the harmony of sisterhood. Our story begins with a shared passion for surfing and a deep appreciation for the transformative power of the ocean. At Surfer Goddess, we believe that the best vacations are not just escapes from everyday life, but journeys of self-discovery and connection.
Surfing is more than just a sport to us, it's a way of life. It teaches us to embrace challenges, find balance, and live in the moment. And what better way to experience the thrill of riding the waves than surrounded by a community of adventurous women?
An artistic wanderer with vibrant Filipino roots, Maries has been traveling the globe since 2013, driven by a deep desire to explore the world's best surf breaks. From the pristine beaches of her native Philippines to the legendary swells of Bali and the sun-drenched shores of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, Maries has chased waves across continents. Her journey through the surf has been a quest for adventure, self-discovery, and the sheer joy of riding the ocean's rhythm.
Growing up surfing the beautiful beaches of the Philippines, Maries developed an intimate connection with the sea at an early age. Her passion for surfing led her to Bali, where she immersed herself in the vibrant surf culture and honed her skills on some of the most iconic waves in the world. It was in the waves of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, that Maries found her true calling and founded Surfer Goddess in 2021, a sanctuary where women can come together to surf, connect, and embrace the magic of the ocean.
But Maries' journey doesn't stop at surfing. As a certified yoga instructor with over 16 years of teaching experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her practice. From the serene shores of Bali to the sacred spaces of India, Maries has trained and taught in some of the world's leading yoga centers, sharing her love for yoga and its transformative power with others.
At Surfer Goddess, Maries brings together her love for surfing and yoga to create a retreat experience unlike any other. Join us and discover the magic of surfing, the serenity of yoga, and the beauty of sisterhood. Let's ride the waves, explore the depths of our practice, and make a positive impact on the world together.
