About this trip

Our Salty Sensations retreats are hosted by world-class professional surfers who do their very best to break down surf techniques and tips to help each surfer make strides in their own practice, while creating an atmosphere of celebratory inclusivity.

Kassia Meador, Leah Dawson,  Makala Smith and Andy Nieblas have lead over 15 retreats together, combining their lifetimes of surfing knowledge in a joyful coaching approach!


Our flagship San Clemente Surf Retreat is an outdoor camping experience that is focused on spending all day at the beach to develop and further your surfing skills.  With video feedback, immersive land lessons, healthy delicious food, a sound bath by Kassia, and constant laughter around the campfire, this retreat experience is like nothing else on the market.  


Surfing Level: Able to catch your own waves.  We can facilitate beginner surfers with the understanding that coaching sessions are in a group setting and you will be paired with surfers of a similar level with a designated coach.

Best surf retreat! My time with the Salty Sensations crew at Malibu Popoyo far exceeded my expectations. The surf instruction, theory and community was top notch!

Awesome retreat with amazing people and great instruction. One of the best surf trips I’ve taken. Highly recommend a retreat with Salty Sensations. Leah, Kassia and Makala were awesome. Learned more than I ever have in all my years of surfing.

Such a great surf trip. Leah, Makala and Kassia are incredible humans and amazing surfers. I learned more from them in a week than I have in the years I've been surfing. They attract likeminded individuals, and our group as a whole was friendly, light hearted and just all around a joy to be around. I'd book again in a heartbeat!

Bucket list trip with capable hosts and great accommodations. Group that assembled was awesome as well. Will certainly recommend.

Incredible trip! I would definitely go again. The instruction from Kassia, Leah, Makala and Andy was unparalleled. I have been on a couple other surf trips and had some other surf instruction and their ability to read the ocean, explain it and help put it into practice was next level. To top if off, they're also amazing humans and fun to be around! Great resort, like-minded people and great waves made it all an excellent experience that I won't forget. Thanks guys!!
