MEET YOUR HOSTS

Cassandra Keller

Founder of Sun and Salt Collective

Owner and creator of Sun and Salt Collective, Cassandra grew up surfing the waves of Santa Cruz over the past 24 years. Her passion has brought her around the world exploring different waves and cultures. Through these experiences she gained a broader perspective on the path to a satisfied life; the willingness to “travel light”, needing less and experiencing more. She has a deep love for the ocean and the connection it brings to her soul as well as finding peace and solace in the natural world through backpacking, and snowboarding.

When teaching she holds a calm, practical and encouraging space for her students to progress within. Certified in hypnotherapy, she understands the power of the mind to help or hider and she utilizes these skills to coach people towards healthy mindset practices in the water and out.

Always up for an adventure and navigating through life with an intuitive, heart centered approach, she utilizes her own experiences of healing to hold a container for others to walk through their fears and towards their truth.

Fantine Capron

Surf Coach, Yoga Instructor and Board Shaper

Born and raised in the Picardy Forests north of Paris, Fantine, has followed the path truest to herself. 

As a French grom, she spent summers visiting her maternal family in Southern California and caught her first wave on the golden coast at the tender age of 8. Under the watchful eyes of her Aunt Alisa Schwarzstein and Uncle Ian Cairns, both legendary former professional surfers and coaches. In 2018, she moved to California to realize her childhood dream of surfing everyday of the year.

She then pursued a Yoga Teacher Training at a local Studio in Laguna Beach led by renowned Instructor Liz Campbell. Simultaneously, she entered the hustle of LA, and spent time documenting the Art Mural and graffiti scene in DTLA’s, Arts District. She quickly shifted gears into hands-on fabrication for large Art Installations. It was an eye opening experience. With her new found skills of fiberglassing, sanding, woodworking and metalworking; she made the transition to Almar Surf Works in Santa Cruz to focus only on surfboard building. She was mentored closely by the legend shaper Michel Junod and Jon Henderson (STRIVE Surfboards).

She founded Atelier Qualia Surf in 2020. A woman owned surfboard and apparel brand forever rooted in love, art, passion and respect for the ocean. She builds her surfboards, from start to finish, here in Santa Cruz. In parallel, she taught group yoga classes at local studios in Santa Cruz and has now shifted  towards leading yoga privately for the strong community of the Sun & Salt Collective.

What They’re Saying

  • "Cassandra is everything I could have asked for in an instructor: Intuitive and holistic in her approach, yet incredibly pragmatic in the water. "

  • "I was incredibly nervous for my first time surfing, but she made me feel safe, comfortable and above all made sure I was having fun! I was able to stand up on the first wave I went for thanks to her and it was the best feeling ever."

  • "Within our first session I gained tools for a far more enjoyable experience— there actually are ways to avoid being tumbled in the washing machine! 👏 "
