About your trip

Fall Dates:

Session 1:  Oct. 23-26

Session 2:  Nov. 14-17


Salty Sensations is a celebration of everything we love about the lifestyle of surfing- connection to nature, community, & the brilliant joys of being immersed in the ocean and the present moment. 


Our 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. Join Kassia Meador, Leah Dawson, Makala Smith, and Hallie Rohr for the ultimate surf tip retreat and community building experience.


Our San Clemente Retreats are 3 Nights, 2 full days of surf at the iconic San Onofre beaches. We camp at the San Clemente State Beach Campground, just 5 minutes drive up the road from the surf break.  Each morning session will be filmed, and two in-depth group Video Feedback sessions will follow!  We are accompanied by our amazing Chef Aine, and our amazing Kitchen Fairy help, and accommodate any dietary restrictions necessary.   


SURF LEVEL REQUIRED: Must be able to catch your own waves. 


Make new friends, grow your surf skills and knowledge, eat delicious food, enjoy beach days by the fire with as much surf as you want!  Dogs are welcome as long as they are dog/people friendly and you are able to secure them while you are in the water!
