Pixie (Georgina Cronin)

Organizer / Surf Instructor

I’ve been surfing now for 18 years of my life pretty consistently. Surfing is my number 1 passion, my therapy and my religion! It’s a lifestyle that fits in with my love of travel and discovering new places and new cultures.

10 years ago I arrived in El Salvador with no expectations other than a chance to surf some good waves. Having previously lived in Indonesia as a PADI Scuba Instructor and Surf Instructor, I had been spoiled by perfect waves. So I was surprised and thrilled to discover that El Salvador had been keeping world class surf breaks a secret all this time!

When the WSL Tour and Olympic surf trials were here during the last couple of years, El Salvador had been planted on the map as a top surfing destination. People in general were starting to see that Salvador wasn’t the scary, dangerous place the internet had led people to believe, and as more foreign surfers and tourists started to arrive, I knew it was the right moment to start my retreats. I wanted to start women’s retreats specifically, because as a female instructor and surfer myself, I get the stoke, support and good vibes that come when a group of cool women get together.
