A path for every level

Level I builds your foundation with the coach in the water, Level II works towards full independence, and Level III refines your technique with filmed sessions. Online video analysis covers everyone far from our bases.

See the programs

See your own surfing

Sessions are filmed so you can watch your surfing from the outside and spot the details that make all the difference. Each analysis comes with specific exercises and a personalized plan.

Training that fits your routine

Trainings open every week, depending on the wave conditions, so you surf on the best days for your level, with a plan adapted to your schedule and your goals.

A real community

You train in a group that lifts each other up, with personalized feedback, a private group of women for tips and support, and monthly Surfing Days with experiences beyond the water.

Coaches in Brazil, Portugal and online

The team trains in Florianópolis and São Paulo, in Brazil, and in Ericeira, Portugal, with coaches who are specialists in their level, from beginners to longboard and high performance.

Why “Surf Like a Girl”?

Since she was a little girl, Marina kept hearing “Wow… you rip. You surf like a man.” Surf Like a Girl turns that line inside out: rip with style, flow, power and personality, and surf exactly “just like a girl”.

What the girls are saying

Real messages from the women who train with Marina.

Marina, thank you so much for everything. You were the highlight of my trip here it ✨ First time someone takes my surf seriously, you can’t imagine how important it was for me. I enjoyed every session, and thanks to you (in only 2 months) I feel more confident in the water, and I can see I step up in my surf. This team was exactly what I was looking for, for many years : professional coaching and girls sorority. So again thank you. I am grateful to have met you. You are doing something very big 💙 🌊
Message from M.
Yeah, these video analysis are really crucial. I’ve been trying to find someone like you for over a year at this point and I’m sooooo glad that you agreed to help me. Rest assured that I will be practicing all these movements at home. There’s so much to practice and learn, but I really want to correct these mistakes before it’s too late

This training was really worth it. I like your approach, it’s really helpful. It changed my brain in terms of surfing! We just started and the time was not a lot, but I can imagine what we could have done if we continue this way
Message from T.
Hey Marina, I had another session in Ribeira at sunset yesterday. After your tips I surfed really well.. I was in the right position and I managed to do some nice carves without moving too much.. so the training is going really well, thank you 😁. Hopefully I can move here next year so we can start training properly 💪
