If you answered "surf camp" <a href="/113374" >on the winter vacation poll</a>, here are a couple of surf schools for you to check out. </p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p>My ideal would be going on a retreat with <a href="http://www.surfgoddessretreats.com/bali.html" target="_blank">Surf Goddess</a> to Bali for yoga, surf lessons, spa treatments, gourmet meals and a sightseeing tour. 8 days and 7 nights of this can be yours for $1795 (shared room rate) you just have to get yourself to Bali. The rate listed above is the winter, off season rate, which goes through April. </p> <p>Much closer to home and easier on the wallet is the surf camp based in La Jolla, <a href="http://www.surfdiva.com/ContentPage.asp?ContentID=86" target="_blank">Surf Diva</a>. Two hour classes start at 10am and run Monday through Friday for $379.50. The program sounds a little bare bones after the surf goddess retreat, but you should have no problem finding waves to learn the basics in La Jolla. </p> <p><a href="http://www.boardfolio.com/surflinks/camps.html"><br /> Boardfolio.com</a> has a really complete listing of surf vacations if you are looking for a camp closer to your home. </p> <p>Good luck catching the perfect wave. </p> http://www.fitsugar.com/123192#comment Yoga women surf camp retreat spa treatments adventure vacation Thu, 01 Feb 2007 10:45:00 -0800 FitSugar http://www.fitsugar.com/123192
