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!!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a trip with Salty Sensations, and it truly was a dream come true. Although it was a significant financial effort for me due to Spanish wages, it was absolutely worth it. The trip was incredible, but I would like to offer some constructive feedback based on my experience. Throughout the journey, I often felt overwhelmed by the waves. Just as I started to feel more comfortable, it was already time to go back home. During the lessons, I also felt a bit confused about the turn-taking system. I wasn't sure if we were going by turns or preference, and at times, I felt I might miss my turn or accidentally take a wave that should have been someone else's. As a suggestion, it would be helpful to organize the sessions into two parts. In the first part, a structured class with one instructor at the top of the wave and another at the bottom would provide immediate feedback, eliminating the wait for video corrections. Having an instructor at both ends would also enhance safety and confidence. In the second part, a free surf session would allow us to see the instructors surf and practice the feedback given in real-time. This approach might also reduce the pressure on instructors to do video corrections daily and provide them with a bit more rest time. Additionally, the food was amazing but could benefit from a bit more marketing. Perhaps a menu board highlighting what’s being served would enhance the dining experience by giving it a bit more prominence. I would love to do another surf retreat with you. The sound meditation with Kassia was an amazing experience for me, and watching Leah surf with such a repertoire of moves was truly inspiring. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity. Thank you, Salty Sensations, for making my dream a reality.

Joining Salty Sensations in the Mentawais was such a magical experience that unlocked blocks in my surfing through incredible knowledge sharing and unstoppable and irresistible energy and passion for the ocean. The location and accommodations were a dream, beautiful, super comfortable, and accommodating to food preferences. The team at Botik were lovely. The experience was incredible. Simply the best. ❤️

The ultimate surf coaching experience! I'm so happy I took the leap and signed up for surf camp with some of the most radical surfers in the game, the wealth of knowledge they shared was beyond enlightening. We talked about everything from the very basics of catching a wave to dealing with critical sections, foot placement, paddling, body awareness, and most importantly sharing the stoke and bringing excellent vibes to every lineup we paddle out in. I couldn't imagine a better way to meet new friends who are also stoked, we all had the best time! Not to mention the FOOD!!!! Incredible. Kassia's soundbaths were also pure magic, the campsite offered us the best sunsets and moonrises, and San O is a dream always. The overall experience was well planned but be also had the space to go with the flow, surf multiple times a day and lounge and chat surfing in between. A+ camp with A++ coaches. I'm so grateful I was able to participate!
