Surf Girls 84

Punta Mita, Mexico: Las Olas Surf Safaris for Women
Bev Sanders, a snowboarder who took up surfing at the age of 44, says she founded Las Olas because she wanted to make girls out of women. The return to youth spans seven days, with beachside lessons in Punta Mita, an easygoing village north of Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast. A reef breaks to the shore, and the beginner-friendly waves average 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Yoga instruction, salsa dancing, and Huichol jewelry making round out the experience. Surfers stay in 30 cabana-style villas designed by local craftsmen, and breakfast daily and some meals are included. The safaris run from November through June; if you sign up for a session in January, you'll even get to go whale watching.
