Chelsea Grenier

Surf Instructor / Aspiring artist Currently living + surfing in Puerto Rico Baby sister, surf instructor + artist Chelsea pretty much grew up in the ocean. Being from a place like St. John, US Virgin Islands it would be hard not to love the sea! It's like growing up in water world. She spent a lot of time sailing as a kid but wasn't until the age of 12 that she started surfing with Marjie & Coco. Once they started surfing it was ON! Surfing has taken Chelsea all over the world to places like Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Hawaii, Australia, Puerto Rico, California & Mexico. Australia is where the girls went to university to study Sports Management Surfing Studies. This is where they became certified surf coaches and where the retreat idea sparked! She has been teaching surfing for over 10 years and always has so much enthusiasm and patience in the water. She'll have you smiling and surfing better before you know it! Just two years ago Chelsea and Marjie competed in the ISA World Surfing Games in Nicaragua, they were the first two women to ever compete representing the US Virgin Islands. A super proud moment for them and their home. That trip got them so inspired and fired up to continue to improve their own surfing skills as well as others. When Chelsea is not teaching at the retreat you can find her surfing, adventuring and painting beautiful things by the sea in Puerto Rico where she now lives with her husband Raul.
