How does a surf camp get to be called “The World's Premier Surf Safari for Women”? You have to start a long time ago.

Las Olas was founded in 1997 by Bev Sanders who has dedicated over 25 years to board sports. As the first of its kind, others will continue to imitate our program, but our success grew from vast experience and a genuine love of surfing, culture, and friendship.

Our all-female crew of world class instructors offers women the chance to learn surfing in a no pressure, nonjudgemental, warm water environment.

We’ve introduced thousands of women to the sport and lifestyle of surfing, and have been growing consistently since the beginning. Demand has us booking far in advance and juggling waiting lists, but in order to maintain the quality of our program and respect for our guests, our crew, and the communities around us, we've chosen to grow at a natural and responsible pace.

We continue to provide uncommon professionalism and attention to detail, but our primarry focus is for everyone to excel and have fun.

Our Motto:
We make girls out of women.

Las Olas has been featured in women's magazines such as Oprah, Travel Woman, Elle, Self, Body & Soul, Surf Life for Women Harper's Bazaar, Sports Illustrated for Women, Women Sports and Fitness, Spa, Shape, Time, Newsweek, Conde Naste Traveler, Travel & Leisure and more...
