What People are Saying About their Solaz Surfing Adventure in Costa Rica or Mexico!
“My Solaz trip was one of the
best things I’ve ever done. I’ve wanted to learn to surf my
entire life, but never imagined it could be so fun and fulfilling right
off the bat. Erik and Andy embody the best aspects of sport, travel, and
adventure. Their eagerness to share their knowledge and passions and their
general good-naturedness combine with an incredibly relaxed setting to
create the ideal environment for expanding horizons. I know after this
trip that I’m hooked on surfing for life, and know that I will be
back to share more laughs, waves and conversation with the Solaz crew
and other friends I met on the trip. Solaz could not have given us a more
fun or more satisfying trip.”

for me. Between the amazing surf and the wonderful people I met, I could
not have asked for anything more!”

“Between the great people I met, the huge sense of accomplishment
I felt in learning to surf, incredible sunsets, food WELL beyond expectations,
and amazing massages I rate this as one of the best vacations ever!”

“Surfing in Mexico with Solaz Adventures was THE BEST surfing I
have ever experienced. Long peeling lefts, one after the other, made this
goofy footer very stoked! And of course, no crowds, warm water and beautiful
beaches. The whole experience was quality from day one. Every need was
accommodated...a lovely villa, wonderful authentic food, sunrise yoga
sessions on the beach, quality surf instruction, relaxed afternoons, nurturing
massage...everything was fantastic!”
— Alisa Van Dissen, Santa Cruz, CA
"We surfed all morning. In the afternoon, we had siestas by the pool
followed by a wonderful relaxing dinner. We woke up the next day and did
it all over again. This was by far my best surfing trip to date. It’s
hard to beat the long lefts and warm water of Mexico. The combination
of surf instruction, yoga, and massage really made trip well-rounded,
putting Solaz Adventures in a class above the rest.”
— Jen England Davenport. CA
“I had one of the best days of my life on a Solaz Adventure's surf
trip... a.m. yoga on the beach, caught the best wave of my life…
lazy afternoon time by the pool, a massage, and then a gourmet meal. Where
do I sign up for the next trip?”
— Kirsten Dunn
“Between the quality of the surf instruction, unstructured down
time, yoga, massage, trips into the local village, and some of the best
food I've ever had, the Solaz Adventure I went on was a great experience.
Andy and Erik are a fantastic team and work very hard to make sure everyone
is getting out of the trip what they are looking for. No matter what your
surfing ability, you will benefit from the instruction and coaching. I
recommend this trip to everyone!”
— Steve Dunn
“In Costa Rica, Andy safely and enthusiastically coached me into
waves I wouldn't have ridden otherwise. He gave me the courage and confidence
to ride my first ''real'' wave! The massage after the surf session was
the perfect ending to the perfect day. The yoga was great too!”
— Susan Okie, Aspen, CO
“Every trip I’ve taken with Erik, we’ve found great
waves and had a blast. His knowledge of surfing and ocean conditions enabled
us to always be at the right place at the right time. The time spent on
these trips was unforgettable, best waves of my life, great food and good
company. I can’t wait for the next one!”
— Matt Bissell, Newport Beach, CA
“As a beginner I was very apprehensive about paddling out for the
first time. Your patience and encouragement turned learning to surf into
a safe and fun experience. I could not imagine learning this incredibly
challenging and
rewarding sport from anyone else.”
