Day 2 of our Big Wave Babes Water Woman Retreat 🌊✨

A-MA-ZING doesn’t even begin to describe it.

We kicked off the day with powerful breathwork. Then we paddled out to another break that was packed, but soon after we scored an empty lineup all to ourselves 💙

We even squeezed in a super fun session at the wave right in front of the villas… honestly, that one deserves its own recap. It’s been giving us pure magic.

Between each session, we did video analysis to level up our surf game and dial in our technique.

Can’t wait for what tomorrow brings

How are the odds to have a big wave friend who started surfing Nazaré at the exact time as you, so has the same level and who even likes the same left waves?

It couldn't be a better setup to share a session and some laughs out there, taking turns surfing and driving the second jetski.

Thanks @katrinakruze & @nazarejet

The season has officially begun!

Longe do Brasil a 10 dias e já estou com saudades dos dias inesquecíveis o @itacoatiarabigwave foi um deles, campeonato com altas ondas, onde tive o privilégio de surfar com @gabrielsamps local brabo de Itacoa, sem contar que já cheguei como … de RAM, maravilhosa ! E com o pé direito, muito bom quando o mar acerta e podemos fazer o que amamos não existe trabalho melhor no mundo que fazer o que ama ! Surfar é muito bom e me sinto muito privilegiada quando pego altas ondas assim ! 🩶🥈🪬@ready2fly_imagens_aereas

Happy birthday to this absolute gem of a best friend 🎂🍰🧁🥮🤍

We met more than a decade ago while surfing Rocky Point. She wanted to film big waves, and I wanted to surf big waves. It was a match made in heaven. I’m the shortest person you’ll ever meet, and she’s the tallest girl in history, so really, what could go wrong?

Since the beginning, we have always hyped each other up. Whenever she wanted to quit, I wouldn’t let her, and whenever I wanted to quit, she wouldn’t let me. Most of the questionable decisions we’ve made probably happened because one of us convinced the other that it was an amazing idea. So yes, the hyping has worked both ways!

More than a decade later, we’re still doing this. We’re still keeping it real, still laughing, and still having fun everywhere we go and still at this day and age getting in and out of trouble like it’s our job!

Maria and I have literally traveled the world together sometimes without one cent to our names 😆 from the depths of Puerto Escondido to Chile, Brazil, Europe, and remote Asia beyond.

We have gone in the most fancy dates and also ate out of a yogurt container in posh central London.

At one point, we were also convinced we were going to become famous reggaetón artists. Honestly, the dream might still be alive.

We always had a saying: “In it to win it.” At this point, I don’t know if we won, lost, or maybe did a little bit of both 🤣☝🏾 but all I know is that we had soooo much fun along the way I would not have it any other way.

So many things have changed over the years, but one thing hasn’t: our friendship.

We are complete opposites in every possible way. If you know one of us, just imagine the exact opposite, that’s the other one. Somehow, we’re still here, still best friends, and still fighting every trip we take together.

Happy birthday, Nanaboo.
Real hasta la muerte baby 💕😘

Spain, we learned how to drive a zodiac boat!

Not sure why, but we did!

“El role”

Nazare harb by @bigwavebabes

Loving how an AD sparked a trend that got every female athlete to be proud of what their wonderful bodies can do, how hard they push themselves, and everything they’ve achieved in sports.

If we could always be this proud of what we do and of how strong, resilient, and capable our bodies can be in every sport we pursue, the next generation won’t have to struggle just to prove that they can. They’ll already know that they are so much more than just a pretty face or a “hot” body.

Low maintenance… just don’t ask how much the board bags, flights, rental cars, boats and last-minute swell chases cost 😂🌊✈️

I don’t want a designer bag. I want another surf trip.

Be honest girls: how many surf trips a year is considered high maintenance? 😂👇

From thousands of meters above the earth… to meters below the surface 🌎🪂🌊🦈

Skydiving ✈️
Snowboarding 🏂
Surfing at 🌊
Freediving below sea level 🫧

Apparently I like exploring the world vertically 😂

But now I need to know… are you going UP or DOWN? 👀

Stop waiting for "one day" and start day one.

Watch the full interview with @katrinakruze hosted by @polly_ralda on MILLIONS! by @bigwavebabes

This wave started thousands of miles away.

Somewhere in the North Pacific, a winter storm began to spin. Winds pushed across hundreds of miles of open ocean, transferring their energy into the water.

The storm never had to reach Hawaiʻi but Its energy did.

For some of our winter swells, that energy travels more than 3,000 miles across the Pacific before finally reaching the North Shore of Oʻahu.

And I think that’s one of the most beautiful things about surfing.

To think that the wave I’m riding started its journey thousands of miles away… 🥹💋

Crossing an entire ocean (just to meet me 😉)

And somehow, for a few seconds, I happened to be in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time, moving fast enough to match its energy.

3,000 miles of ocean for our paths to cross for just a few seconds.

How freaking beautiful is that?
