What is this retreat?
A working week on the water with a different sponsored pro every month. Same boat, same skis, same coast, same crew, different named host bringing their own style to the rotation. Six guests per retreat, walk-out water access, run out of the only operation of its kind in the US Caribbean.
Mornings: three hours on the water as a single group. Skis, sleds, foils, full water-support team. That month's host is in the rotation. Afternoons: foiling options for whoever wants them, Foil Drive, Lift X, winging, downwinders, or beach, surf, snorkel, do nothing.
Evenings: a chef cooks dinner where you're staying. That month's host debriefs the day's footage. Repeat.
Why Aguadilla?
THE SWELL
Consistent NE trade swell, 10–15+ second periods, October through May. Not the soft Caribbean groundswell you get east of the Mona Passage. This is open North Atlantic with long, organized lines.
WATER ACCESS
Walk-out from the accommodation. No truck, no boat ramp, no shore launch through traffic.
warm water
Year-round, no wetsuit fatigue. Nine months of foilable swell with no thermal cost.
uncrowded
The NW Puerto Rico coast doesn't have Maui's lineup, Hossegor's lineup, or the Mentawais' boat traffic. The setup is private by geography, not by exclusivity.alk-out from the accommodation. No truck, no boat ramp, no shore launch through traffic.
travel
2.5 hours nonstop from both US coasts. No passport. SJU transfers included. Warm water year-round.
There is no other operation that combines all of this. That is the entire reason ANANDA exists.

The season hosts
A different named pro hosts each month of the season. James Jenkins opens. The rest of the season fills in as additional hosts confirm.
September 29th - October 4th, 2026
James Jenkins
Armstrong Foils team rider. Patagonia Surf ambassador. Surf guide at Namotu Island, Fiji. First to circumnavigate St. John on wingfoil. Outer Banks Season 3 stunt double, on the Netflix credits.
Trained media producer, he shoots and edits the footage you'll take home. James will be in the rotation every morning and at the debrief every evening.
He's not a celebrity drop-in. He's running the week.
