Here's more information about this amazing journey. Please feel free, at any time, to give us a call if you have any questions at 971-808-2787. It's seriously our favorite thing to talk about.
Lodging
We will be staying at one of the most beautiful and perfectly located retreats on the island. Maria's Beach house is just the right basecamp for your Water People 2022 experience. This full service, comfortable and amenity rich location boasts an awesome private pool just feet from the ocean, a beautifully maintained property and just happens to have one of the best surf breaks right out front! Just imagine doing your daily yoga session and morning surf check at the same time! You’ll sleep like a baby in the plush guest rooms by the sea after each fun-filled day.
Maria's Beach House and your Water People experience offer both double and single occupancy options with either a queen or two full sized beds so you will have plenty of space to spread out, get comfortable and make yourself at home! Daily housekeeping will keep your space tidy while you are out each day too!
Itinerary
With few exceptions, our schedule will be focused on morning skills sessions and afternoons free to explore Rincón, it's beauty, its nature, its culture and its amazing food. You will be able to take advantage of early morning yoga sessions followed by delicious and nutrient rich breakfast to fuel up and charge into the session of the day.
Free Afternoons
The afternoons during your Water People journey are dedicated to giving you the freedom to explore, play or just chill. If you want to go for a surf, do it. If you want to find a nearby town to stroll through or a local hike to a waterfall, do it. If you want to catch a nap on the beach, do it. The Water People team are here to assist in your adventures in any way possible so let us know what you have in mind and we will work with our local staff to make it happen.
Food
Included in your journey are professionally catered breakfasts and lunches each day. We will also hold a fun social dinner one night featuring food and nutrition expert, Julie Briley, ND focusing on performance nutrition. For the rest of the dinners you will be free to explore nearby Rincón for their many, overwhelmingly delicious, restaurant options. Private shuttles and taxis can be arranged on site if needed.
Transportation
Shuttle service between Aguadilla airport (airfare not included) and Maria's Beach house are included. If you happen to arrange flights into San Juan, please let us know as soon as possible. There is a charge for transport between San Juan and Maria's Beach and the drive takes about 2.5 hours. Also, since you will have most afternoons free to explore, local transport can be arranged on site. With this said, renting your own vehicle is recommended if you like the freedom to drive when and where you like. Rental car companies are available at both Aguadilla and San Juan airports for your convenience.
We encourage you to purchase travel insurance in the case that your plan changes at any time.
Airfare Not Included
When we know that the registration minimum for this trip has been met and we are sure the trip is going, you will receive a notification to go ahead and book your flights!
Gear
You are welcome to travel with your own water gear (fins, wetsuit, boards, paddles, etc.) but your stay does include use of high quality paddle boards and surfboards for your skills sessions. If you have any specific questions about what gear is available, just give us a call.
Dive masks will be available for use during our underwater comfort and free diving clinic as well as for our catamaran snorkel excursion.
Video Analysis
You will have the opportunity to discuss and deconstruct your technique with professional SUP coach Jeff Briley in the evenings after both the SUP surfing session as well as the flatwater SUP stroke session if you would like. Using the latest video analysis technology and coaching software, you can see what areas of your game you need to work on and what you are already doing well. Recapping the day like this is a fun and informative addition that makes the Water People experience special.
