about THE PROJECT

Girl on the Wave surf project

GIRL ON THE WAVE SURF PROJECT IS BASED IN ERICEIRA ON THE ATLANTIC COAST OF PORTUGAL SINCE 2018. IT LAUNCHES SURF CAMPS IN THE SUMMER TIME IN ERICEIRA AND TRAVELS ALONG THE SEASONS TO OPEN MORE SURF RETREATS IN DIVERSE SURF DESTINATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

THE PROJECT IS FOUDED AND LEADED BY A POLISH SURFER MARGHERITA.

Within a special program the project integrates surfing on all levels. Practise and theory but also lifestyle, culture, food & diet, everyday habits, self-care and human relations.

Margherita’s goal is to connect people especially women who want to surf in the best surf spots across the world and to make this surfing community grow. It is about sharing her own surf passion with other people and giving a testimony that we might have different backgrounds but in surfing we are all the same.

The project supports local surf infrastructure and offers a support for all surfing guests. Beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers including surf guiding as well. Running the project allows Margherita to live a surfing life as she has always dreamed about and to surf everyday.
