Join O'Neill and I for an incredible Women only Surf Retreat...
I’ve been part of Women of the Wave since the very beginning, and now having the chance to bring my own version to life here in Sagres feels like such a privilege.
We’ll be based at Memmo Baleeira Hotel, waking up to ocean sunrises, jumping in for a morning dip, and chasing waves wherever the conditions are best.
This place invites you to move with nature’s rhythm, and that’s exactly what we’ll do. Expect surf sessions, beach hangouts, sunset moments, and good food, all shared with a small, inspiring group of women.
I’ll be out in the water with another amazing surfer to share tips, boost your confidence, and make sure you’re having fun.
You’ll also get to try out boards from my own quiver and a range of Ferox options,from longboard, twin fins and shortboards.I can’t wait to spend these days in the water and in the sun.
