Mari's dedication to improvement is truly inspiring. She's been consistently charging with us in Rio, progressing from straight drops to confidently navigating larger waves. We're stoked to witness her evolution as a surfer.
Mari (Chile & Brazil)
Rodrigo's difficulty to maneuvre quickly diminished after he joined us in one of our surftrips to Ubatuba. Now he's all about that hip rotation and doing critical drops.
Rodrigo (Patagonia)
Mari's been a long-time student at our surf school in Rio and she recently joined our surftrip in El Salvador where she sought some shade in the barrel, which she got !

Dani started surfing after her 40's, what a legend! Not only a fighter in the ocean, but a fiery lady on a surfskate too! You can see those arm movements from surfskate really helping her in the water.
