Wet Chill Retreat
"Your Relaxing Surf Getaway"
At Wetfall Surf, we believe the best vacations are simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to nature. That’s why we created the Wet Chill Retreat—an 8-day surf-focused getaway in the heart of Costa Rica. Leave behind the hustle of daily life and embrace a pre-organized surf vacation where relaxation and adventure are perfectly balanced.
This retreat is designed for anyone seeking to experience the authentic surfer lifestyle: mornings riding waves, afternoons exploring nature or unwinding by the ocean, and evenings enjoying great food and conversation.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family, this retreat is perfect for anyone over the age of 12. With small groups of up to 15 people, you’ll enjoy personalized service and the chance to make meaningful connections.
