Nicaragua Premium Retreat
Designed for intermediate to advanced surfers.
Enjoy an abundance of incredible waves from long, rippable points to barreling beach breaks on the Pacific Coast of Central America.
We’re stoked to announce a premium surf coaching experience kicking off in Nicaragua in August and September 2025!
In this premium retreat with Kale, surfers will take advantage of the Nicaraguan surfing coast from the comfort of Mellow Resort. The ideally located accommodation will enable total immersion in several breaks, all nearby to the resort.
Kale and a small group of surfers will seek a variety of waves from perfect, peeling point breaks offering open canvases for developing turns to peaky, barreling beach breaks which provide an excellent training ground for progressing tube riding (without the ‘gnarly’ aspect).

Surfing Level and Progression
This retreat is perfect for those intermediate and advanced surfers who are performing manoeuvres on a wave face yet feel they have plateaued in their abilities.
By working closely together with Kale throughout the entire week, surfers will be able to identify the patterns or sub-optimal techniques holding them back and begin to optimise them for better surfing. Utilising The Surfer’s Roadmap curriculum and a fun and friendly approach, Kale will unlock years of progression in this retreat.
Working with Kale
-
“Kale’s an excellent surfer. Anyone who’s seen him surf knows that, but it’s his intellectual and sequential breakdown of the skills that you require to be a good surfer that set him apart from anyone else in the industry. He can immediately assess your surfing and provide you with the key to unlock your next leap forward.”
Toby (TSR Maldives Student)
-
“The quality of coaching has been way higher than I expected. He’s (Kale) totally transformed my surfing from just competent to now feeling dynamic and powerful so I’m stoked.”
Forest (TSR Maldives Student)
-
“When I’m surfing now I have so much more awareness about what to do on a wave to keep me in the power zone and to actually progress. Kale definitely has the sport of surfing broken down into its precise components and has a great skill in explaining those components to anyone.”
Tim (TSR Maldives Student)
-
“There’s been huge improvements in my surfing. Kale’s awesome – it’s almost like going on a surf trip with a mate except he has these incredible hacks that advance your surfing so quickly. It’s been really great for us.”
Clinton (TSR Maldives Student)
-
“He’s an amazing coach. He breaks down the fundamentals of surfing and its biomechanics really well with excellent articulation. The side by side video analysis was particularly helpful for me and has definitely helped me take big steps forward in my surfing this week.”
John (TSR Maldives Student)
-
“Having Kale out in the water to talk through technique live while it’s happening, whatever specific thing we’re focusing on, has been tremendously helpful and gives me clarity about what to do to keep improving.”
AJ (TSR Maldives Student)
