Our Story
after a 30 year hiatus, Elizabeth Finkle Sans got the itch to start surfing again. She researched surf adventures in Central America and selected Coco Loco Eco-Resort and a Nicaraguan legend was born, “Mama Liz”.
A few years pass and while surfing California, Long Island, and Central America Mama Liz starts repping boards but like most entrepreneurs she feels she can build a better mousetrap and thus DRYFT WATERSPORTS begins its journey in 2017 offering custom, as well as, pre-packaged, surf and yoga adventures.
In early 2018 DRYFT WATERSPORTS’ delivers its first orders of hand shaped boards and the buzz begins. Quality craftsmanship, custom shapes and graphics. The boards are well received by local surfers as well as established surf schools.

Liv’s goal is to create an open retreat environment where women of all backgrounds, experience levels and cultures feel welcome and safe to participate.
Liv is a passionate traveler who fell in love with surfing on a trip to New Zealand. She has been chasing peaks ever since. Through her travels, which include Asia, Australia, Southern Africa, Europe and Central America, she has connected with many inspiring women who have helped her take the path today as a retreat leader. She loves connecting with others, whipping up meals for her family and friends, and in general, enjoying living the “slow” life.

“Each breath is a gift and each new day is a fresh opportunity to create the life that you want. Live with joy and express your love”
Carly Chivers is owner and operator of Papaya Wellness. I walk a path of self inquiry and yoga has been a beautiful tool in this ongoing exploration. Yoga started as the balancing medium for other physical pursuits in my life and has now become a deep source of nourishment and the grounded platform from which I move.
Surfing lights my fire and has led me on adventures all over the globe. My love and connection to the ocean is probably my greatest influence and source of inspiration in my yoga practice. Sharing the ocean, its power, immensity and beauty is a true and humbling gift. Everyday I am amazed at the parallels and lessons we learn from mother ocean and how they can be applied to bringing mindfulness, an open heart and a free flowing attitude into all moments in life. I am learning to let go more and more by the day..riding the waves.
I advocate for women empowering women, through taking our health with a balanced and loving approach and using creativity as a tool in self realization. Teaching, sharing my passion and encouraging you to find what it is that inspires you, is what keeps my stoke going!

Moroccan Moon Yoga & Surf Retreat
We will deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us as we take to practicing yoga twice a day at our tranquil villa. Our day begins with a more active yoga vinyasa flow led by our wonderful teachers, Carly of Papaya Wellness and Mama Liz. As we listen deeply and tune in to our inner hearts we will see greater clarity and focus. Liv and Liz will lead us through dream making workshops to help us channel our dreams and desires into a path of reality. After the day’s adventures, be it surfing, exploring artisan market souks for handcrafted goods or visiting a Moroccan-style bath house or Hammam, we will be ready to relax into our second yoga nidra practice as the moon rises and lights the way.
