Nikki Poulos is a fashion designer better known for her resort wear. But inspired by learning to surf a couple of years ago, she has designed a new line of super cute, super functional swim and surf wear. Her designs stay on in the surf while looking great! On a recent trip to El Salvador, the Surf With Amigas instructor team had a chance to test them out on some really fun waves.

I’ve been rocking Body Glove swimwear since I was 17. The company focuses on creating women’s swim, surf, and active wear that is super functional as well as super cute. For many years I was active in helping them design women’s wetsuits and bikinis that would be comfortable and stay on while surfing. Over the last few years, since I moved to Nicaragua full time, I’ve been a bit more out of the loop, so I was really excited to learn that Body Glove was launching a new line of women’s active wear called Breathe that included yoga pants and surf leggings. Check out the video…[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktx–QRWyAA]
I got myself a couple pairs of the surf leggings and have been trying them out the last couple of days during a retreat. Not only are they really cute (see photos for evidence), they are also really comfortable. Yesterday I wore them from 5am to 5pm non-stop with two surf sessions, breakfast, lunch, and some beach coaching mixed in. I highly recommend them!
You probably all know Kassia Meador. Super stylish longboarder. I traveled Australia with her one summer many years ago. She’s the real deal. After a long career with Roxy, she has broken out of the surf industry corporate bubble and started her own adventure, founding a wetsuit brand called Kassia.
I pulled this info from her website that you should definitely check out! KassiaSurf.com
Kassia Meador is a long time mermaid with a love for quality living and a passion for all things aesthetically pleasing and aquatically functional.
KASSIA is about Freedom and Empowerment. Superior Quality, Life Enriching, Enlightening, Functional, Future Flavor with a Classic Twist. Made by Mermaids for Mermaids!
My want for things of great quality, design and functionality while at the beach or in the water. Ive been a surfer for over half my life and all the things I’ve been longing for to compliment my lifestyle I’m bringing to life with this brand.

A sea hawk so I could soar above the cliff and the waves, and dive in when I feel like it.
Diana Vreeland! The way she speaks about things is pure poetry. The way she talks about surfing having never done it herself really makes you feel it in a way I’ve never heard anyone articulate so masterfully. “OH TO BE A SURFER, BETWEEN THE SKY AND THE WATER…”
To me style is everything… its an extension of your being, your thoughts, feelings and creativity in a visual language that you wear.
To build a boat that will clean up all the plastics in the ocean and take us to good waves all at the same time…
For this first collection my inspiration is coming from my love of space and the free spirit of the 70’s. Tye dye space is the place…
