Dates: February 1-7th 2026| Limited Spots Available


A 7-Day Roller Derby Retreat to Recharge Your Body, Reignite Your Game, and Remember Why You Fell in Love with This Sport in the First Place
Close your eyes and picture this:

You wake up to the sound of birdsong.
You wander down for a meditation and group stretch.

The sun is rising over the Nicaraguan coast as you sip your coffee by the pool.

You lace up your skates after breakfast surrounded by teammates-turned-travel-buddies.

You’re sweating, smiling, skating, laughing—training hard and playing harder.

In the afternoon, you float in a pool with a drink (or mocktail) in your hand, nap in a hammock, skating the the skate park, or head into town with your new derby crew.

By sunset, barefoot in the sand laughing about the events of the day.

This is more than a vacation. 
It’s a full-body reset. 

A reconnection to your power. 

A week to feel strong, free, and wildly alive.

Welcome to Derby in Paradise—where roller derby meets radical joy.

 Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, make unforgettable memories, or simply take a break from the daily grind while still feeding your athlete soul, this retreat is your all-access pass to the best version of yourself.
Let’s go.

WHO THE FFFFF IS KRISSY KRASH AND WHY IS SHE DOING DERBY THINGS IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Hi! I’m Krissy Krash. 

I fell in love with roller derby in 2006 and it changed my life.

From competing with LA Derby Dolls Tough Cookies and winning a few championships to competing with Angel City at WFTDA Champs, to being cast in the movie Whip It to coaching over 500 skaters—my roller derby journey has been a wild ride. 

I’ve seen what’s possible when you give yourself permission to go all in.

Now, I’m creating the roller derby retreat I wish existed for me ot meet new derby friends and go on adventures 15 years ago—part training camp, part vacation, all heart.

Come be a part of the very FIRST Derby in Paradise – Nicaragua Edition.

 We’re going to train, connect, laugh, grow, dance, recover, reset, and roll out stronger than ever.

Because life is a contact sport.

Win.

 From a Dream in Costa Rica… to a Derby Paradise in Nicaragua

If you’ve been following my journey, you know I landed in Costa Rica in 2020 and got stranded there for a year. 

During that time I fell in love with Central America and never left.  

The laid back lifestyle, the nature, the warmth all year round, the Latin American culture.

I loved it all.

But since I got here my heart and soul has missed roller derby every day. 

So I thought I would make roller derby come to me. 

If you build it they will come…right? 

 I tried to build a rink in the jungle.  

I really did. 

We found some land and drew up plans. 
 Fought with mud and permits and Mother Nature. 

But unfortunately the undertaking of a building big enough to house a roller derby track in the jungle was not permissible by the municipality….

But the dream didn’t die—it just moved.

Welcome to San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua—where we found the perfect venue to bring Derby in Paradise to life.

A private hotel oasis with a skate park, pool, swim-up bar, volleyball court, climbing wall, and nothing but roller derby energy for 7 epic days.

This is your invite to the ultimate all-in-one derby escape.

WHATS INCLUDED IN THIS EPIC ROLLER DERBY VACATION?

6 nights, 7 days accommodations at our totally private skater-only resort.

Pool, water slide, skate park, climbing wall, volleyball court, and swim up bar.

Daily breakfast + dinner included.

Shuttle transfers from airport to safe easy arrival and into to town to explore all San Juan Del Sur has to offer.

WORKSHOPS 

Build your skills with on-skates skill and strategy workshops as well as off-skates mindset workshops with all star coaches.

Athlete Mindset & Nutrition workshops to level up your performance.

PRIVATE SKATE PARK JUST FOR US

To hone your stills or try for the first time in an all roller skater supportive environment.

NEW FRIENDS 

Make new connections that will last a life time. Traveling and roller derby are my two favorite ways to make friends <3

MOBILITY, STRETCHING, MEDITATION, YOGA

Get into your body and calm your mind with signature yoga and breath work classes daily to create inner calm before the derby storm

 **** A NOTE: 
The hotel has plenty of space for us to work drills and strategy but not enough space for a FULL TRACK. Just part of one. We are in the process of working with the local municipality to rent a space on the water that will hold a full size track. If this goes though we will also add in daily sunset scrimmages and more track time at this venue. With or without it, this is going to be game changing and super fun event.

We will have a full schedule of strategy, skill, drill, and mindset classes for you to choose form throughout the day based on the things YOU need to work on. Once the roster is full we will build this retreat for YOU and your needs.

This Retreat Is For You If:

-You are a scrimmage level skater

-You want to train like an athlete—but make it a vacation

-You’re craving community, connection, and confidence

-You want to sharpen your derby skills 

-You’re tired of burnout and want to rediscover the joy of skating

-You’re ready to mix sweat, sunsets, and pure roller derby magic

Why Nicaragua?

Because when Costa Rica said “not yet” to a track and rejected my construction plans for the roller rink, we didn’t stop looking—and San Juan Del Sur gives us everything we dreamed of:
✅ A skate park
✅ A private resort
✅ Built-in adventure
✅ Cute beach town
✅ Warm sun, blue water, and good vibes

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

💳 How do I sign up?
It’s easy to save your spot!
Click "I'm IN Krash Sign Me Up" and pay the $300/ person or $900/villa non-refundable first payment to reserve your room.
Then fill out the form after check out.
We’ll follow up to finalize your payment or payment plan within 24 hours via text and email.

You’ll have 72 hours days to complete your booking—after that, your deposit may be forfeited and your spot opened back up.

💬 Is it okay if I come alone?
Absolutely. So many of our skaters come solo and leave with lifelong friends. We’ll match you with a roommate if needed, and the community vibes start the moment you sign up. By the end of the week, you won’t feel solo at all—you’ll feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

👫 What if I want to bring friends?
Hell yes, bring your crew! You can book a full villa or block out multiple rooms for your league mates or besties. We’ll make sure your pack stays together. You only need to put down 1 deposit to hold the villa. So just one of your group needs to do the initial sign up. Villas will be paid as a whole so please have ONE person in chanre of making payments.

📆 Is there a payment plan?
Yes! We offer payment plans up to 9 months to make this dream trip more accessible. Payment plans may include a small processing fee $25-50/month depending on your room type. If you are signing up as a group, please have ONE point person for payments.

❌ What if I need to cancel?
This retreat is non-cancelable and non-refundable, including your initial reservation payment. Please be absolutely sure you can commit before booking—just like derby, this trip requires full dedication. We recommend purchasing travel insurance in case life throws a blocker your way.

🚌 How do the shuttles work?
Airport Shuttle:
 We’ve got you! A complimentary group shuttle will be provided to and from the Managua Airport (MGA). Shuttle times will be based on average guest arrival/departure windows and announced 1–2 months before the retreat.

 ✈️ Heads up: There may be some waiting at the airport for group pickup. Flight delays or changes that affect shuttle coordination cannot be reimbursed. If you prefer private transport, we’ll connect you with a trusted driver at your own expense.

Daily Shuttle Service:
 We’ll take care of getting you to and from town for optional excursions and exploring. Want to rent a board, grab a smoothie, or hit the surf? We’ve got wheels to get you there.

🛼 Do we skate every day?
We pack in a ton of skating—but we also know rest is a weapon. There will be between 5-10 on and off skates classes and workshops each day to choose form. You’ll have the option to do as much or as little as you want. We are happy to help you book an excursion, get a massage, lay by the pool, or do absolutely nothing. The schedule is powerful and flexible.

🧠 What level skater do I need to be?
We recommend this retreat for intermediate to advanced skaters who have been cleared for contact and scrimmage by their league. You don’t need to be an MVP (yet), but you should be confident in your ability and able to hold your own on the track.
 Still unsure? Shoot me an email at krissykrash@gmail.com and we’ll figure it out together.

🛬 What airport do I fly into?
Please book your flights to Augusto C. Sandino International Airport (MGA) in Managua, Nicaragua. That’s where our courtesy group shuttle will pick you up. We’ll share suggested arrival and departure windows once the trip is closer! No need to book this now.

🎒 What do I need to pack?
You’ll receive a full packing list a few weeks before the retreat, but here’s a heads up:
Your full set of derby gear (helmet, pads, skates, mouthguard, etc.)
Hot-weather athletic clothes
Bathing suits + beach gear
Comfortable shoes for excursions

🛟 Is travel insurance required?
While it’s not mandatory, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes trip cancellation, lost baggage, and medical coverage—just in case. We can't offer refunds, so this protects your travel portion of your investment if something unexpected comes up.

🤕 What if I get injured and can’t skate?
We will have medical staff on sight. And we will help you get to a local medical facility. NOTE: Any medical services or travel to medical servies will be at cost to you. That said, we still don’t offer refunds, so we suggest travel insurance just in case.
This retreat is about more than just skating. You’ll still have access to all the mindset sessions, off-skates workshops, adventures, and community events. 

🌐 Do I need a passport or visa?
Yes! You must have a valid passport to travel to Nicaragua.
 Most countries (including the U.S., Canada, and many EU nations) do not require a visa to enter for short stays. But double-check the rules for your country just to be safe.

💁‍♀️ Is this retreat just for women?
This Derby in Paradise retreat is designed specifically for women and nonbinary skaters who feel at home in women-centered spaces.
 We created this first edition with that focus to foster connection, safety, and shared experience among those who are often underrepresented in sports.
That said—we absolutely plan to offer mixed-gender retreats in the future, and we’d love to skate with you then! If you want to be the first to know when those open, shoot us an email or DM and we’ll make sure you’re on the list.
