This retreat was truly one of the most refreshing and memorable experiences I’ve had in a long time. Over the course of four days, we learned how to surf with the incredible team at Puro Surf Academy, and then spent the rest of the trip exploring the country, enjoying the local food, and connecting with an amazing group of about eighteen people. Pixie was an outstanding host—organized, present, and genuinely invested in making sure every person had a great experience. The balance she created between structured activities and personal downtime was exactly what I loved most about this trip. There were moments where we came together as a group for surf lessons, meals, or planned outings, but there was also plenty of unstructured time to reset, be alone, or explore at our own pace. It never felt rushed or forced. Puro Surf Academy exceeded expectations. My coach was patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered every question, made sure we felt safe in the water, and helped us make real progress each day. The entire team brought a level of care and professionalism that made the learning experience both fun and empowering. Beyond the surfing itself, the people made this trip special. Everyone was talented, creative, thoughtful, and just genuinely enjoyable to be around. Sharing these moments with them—and with the wonderful locals we met along the way—made the entire experience even richer. I would absolutely do this trip again. The combination of adventure, community, personal space, and the beauty of El Salvador made it unforgettable. Huge gratitude to Pixie and the Puro Surf team for creating something so meaningful and so well executed.

Pixie is magical and surf, sweat, serve is epic. I can’t imagine a more perfect combo. This week included waterfall hikes, transformative breath work, exceptional Puro surf instructors, healing food, inspirational human beings, recovery yoga, and so much more, this is everything you could want and I left feeling restored and energized. Thank you Pixie for another wonderful week filled with new connections and unforgettable memories. I’m already counting down the days until the next retreat <3

I will always cherish my memories from the Surf | Sweat | Serve retreat hosted by Pixie. She has a remarkable talent for creating social wellness experiences that combine high-quality instruction, intentional community engagement, and a thoughtfully balanced fitness and wellbeing program that leaves you wanting more. During my week in El Salvador, each day offered a perfect blend of activities — from surf skills sessions and yoga or HIIT workouts to hiking adventures and restorative personal time over nourishing, healthy meals. By the end of the first day, I already felt renewed and whole. The carefully curated itinerary nourished every aspect of my being, both physically and emotionally. What truly stood out, however, was the collective commitment among participants to embrace acceptance, love, and support without judgment. This shared ethos created a harmonious environment where everyone could grow and connect with ease. I believe this spirit of genuine, unconditional care and inclusivity is what lies at the heart of Pixie’s retreats. Pixie herself is an exceptional leader — authentic, skilled, and deeply inspiring. She embodies the mind-body connection she teaches, guiding participants through a transformative experience that leaves you feeling welcomed, recharged, challenged, and uplifted. Reflecting on the week, I am filled with gratitude for the unexpected yet lasting bonds formed with such an incredible group of people. I wholeheartedly recommend joining one of Pixie’s retreats. You will walk away enriched, empowered, and eager for more. I, for one, am already planning my return. Five stars — without hesitation!

Had a great experience. was fortunate to have and amazing coach Ericson. He took the time to really go over movements and hone in on our skills. The camp was great and the amenities were top notch. They even put on the World Series for us. Pixie curated a perfect experience.

Surf Sweat Serve x Puro in El Sal was one of the best retreats that I have been on. I left feeling grounded and with my heart wide open. Pixie blends the perfect mix of heart centered connection through breath work and setting the intentions for the week. She curates the best group of people and was able to attune to our needs at all of our levels..never expecting more and just accepting everyone as they are. The classes were energizing from yoga to dopamine, the staff at Puro was lovely and incredibly kind, the surf was amazing and the coaches were focused on helping us improve. We took adventures into the jungle to hike, ate local food and roamed the streets of el sal, and ultimately gave back to a place that provided us with so much that week. It was fun, full of adventure, laughter, connection, and grounding. It was the right amount of all of the elements with Pixie at the helm lovingly shepherding us through the week. I would highly recommend sweat surf serve to anyone considering! You won't regret it!
