Walk On Water

A place where created encounters Creator and sojourner finds community; WOW is an epic adventure combining surfing, nature, and worship for an experience unparalleled.

WOW is more than a vacation in paradise and actually goes beyond learning to surf. It’s a change of pace and perspective, an opportunity to rest and reset, and an invitation to start living life to the fullest.

We invite you to join us for a walk on the water.

♥︎ + SOUL

At WOW we craft experiences that reflect the heart and soul of who we are. You will find our values, passions, and culture woven into the tapestry of every journey and adventure you choose to join us on.

Here’s a bit of what we’re all about…

Surfing

We LOVE surfing! Come to catch the first waves of your life, take your surfing skills to the next level or simply enjoy the ocean with us.

Adventure

Journey with us beyond borders as together we challenge limitations and face our fears head on; inspired to see the world in new radical ways.

Regeneration

Moving beyond sustainability, we encourage and support the renewal, restoration, and growth of individuals and communities through travel.

Nature

Costa Rica’s wild and lush landscapes will capture your heart as you take your Maker by the hand for a deep and unforgettable journey.

Community

We strive to build kingdom community, nurturing lifelong friendships that feel more like a loving and supportive family by the time you leave us.

Worship

We desire that every aspect of WOW be consecrated as an act of praise, worship, and devotion to God so that whatever we do, we do it for His glory.

Movement

With stretching and breath-work we aim to help you develop strength and flexibility while becoming more aware and in tune with your body.

Nutrition

We celebrate food with enthusiasm and gratitude. We eat local, organic and whole ingredients, nourishing our bodies with the purest flavors of Costa Rica.

Love

We learn to love as we were first loved, that we might overflow, pour out into the lives of others and be bound together in perfect harmony.

We share more than just waves.

We share life.

Surf Retreats

Whether you’re chasing your first wave or looking for a soul-refreshing getaway, our surf retreats offer the perfect balance of adventure and restoration. Come for the ocean, stay for the community, and leave with a deeper connection to yourself, creation, and what matters most.

Student & Group Travel

Transform the classroom into coastline. Our group experiences blend surf, service, and spiritual growth for young people ready to explore the world—and their purpose in it. Whether you're a teacher, youth leader, or student, this is where adventure meets impact.

Surf + Serve

Make your travel count. Surf & Serve experiences combine the thrill of catching waves with the purpose of giving back—through hands-on community projects, service learning, and moments of connection that shape lives. Ready to ride with meaning?

  • Leanna S.

    “I don’t think I could have fully anticipated all that was in store for me on this trip, but what I experienced exceeded every expectation I had. I never thought I would come away from a trip with so many amazing new friends and sisters in Christ! Thank you for making everything ever so special. I think I’ll be on cloud nine for a while!”

  • Jessy W.

    “Worship, community, surf, yoga, adventure, and food to fuel, the WOW experience truly has it all. I’m so thankful to God for the blessing that this week was to me. It was truly incredible to come alongside the staff and other ladies in learning & growing together; having met as strangers and leave as life long friends was something I am ever thankful for.”

  • Sheridan S.

    “There’s only one way I can describe the experience we had in Costa Rica: God’s hand was at work. I am so grateful for the way He used and moved the team at WOW to make things so incredible and truly memorable. Of all the trips I’ve taken in my life so far, this one will be hard to top!”

  • Ursula M.

    “I snuck away in November to eat, pray and surf with an amazing group of women at WOW. Words do not do this experience justice. We spent the week praying, surfing, adventuring, giving back, laughing, and loving. Now I have a new group of gals to call my sisters in Christ forever.”
