Sara Balaban

Sara Balaban is the wordsmith behind SurfYogaBeer’s blogs, capturing the wild, unforgettable energy of SYB adventures. As a former cheerleader (pom-poms and all!), she’s a natural storyteller who knows how to rally the crowd and lift people up.

With a background in recruiting and employer branding, Sara’s talent for connecting with people shines through in every blog she writes. When she’s not crafting epic tales for SYB, she’s cheering for Cheer New York, a non-profit team supporting LGBTQ+ causes—because spreading joy is kind of her thing.

And let’s not forget her love for travel—Sara’s Instagram (@sbala510) is a passport full of stunning snapshots, capturing her journeys across the globe. Whether she’s hiking in Iceland, indulging in pasta in Italy, or exploring the streets of NYC, her adventures fuel her stories with authenticity and excitement.

Add a love for travel, spontaneous adventures, and storytelling, and you’ve got the full Sara package. Whether she’s diving into new cultures or hyping up an SYB crew, she’s always ready to bring the vibes, the stories, and the glitter.
