Lucky Dog Surf School x Rise Up Surf
Nicaragua Surf Retreat

Continue your surf journey with us this winter… without the wetsuit!

Lucky Dog Surf School is stoked to partner with Rise Up Surf to offer you the trip of lifetime!


Join us from January 10th-17th, 2026 for a weeklong, luxury surf retreat on Nicaragua’s Central Coast. We chose this location for our inaugural retreat for its consistent swell, small crowds, and variety of wave options for surfers of ALL LEVELS — from beginners to advanced. And we chose to partner with Rise Up Surf for their family-friendly vibes, holistic coaching approach, and laidback luxury accommodations.

You’ll wake up to the sound of waves, with the beach in your backyard. Single and double occupancy rooms all feature ocean views, a private bathroom, and air conditioning. With your all-inclusive stay, you’ll enjoy four meals per day made from fresh, local ingredients. Local instructors will provide you with daily lessons and video analysis sessions. And, a wide variety of surfboards will be available for you to use — or you can travel with your favorite board.
