Inês - Surf Mama

From a very young age, the sea has been a part of Inês's life. Her passion for surfing was born in childhood and has never left her. What began as fun has transformed into a consistent journey: training, studying, and later, teaching.

She holds the Professional Sports Coach – Surf and Performance (TPTD) Level II certification from the ISA – International Surfing Association (Level 1) and is affiliated with the Portuguese Surfing Federation. Her technical training is combined with years of continuous practice in the sea off Peniche, one of Europe's premier surfing destinations.

At 23, she founded Mama Surf School , a project with its own identity, close relationships, and personalized support. Today, at 28, she continues to lead and develop the school and its brand, working daily with children and adults, men and women. She welcomes all levels, with a special focus on intermediate surfers seeking to gain more fluidity, confidence, and autonomy on the waves.

As a female surfer and coach, she also has a clear mission: to inspire more women to surf. She is strengthening the feminine aspect within the school, creating a safe, motivating, and professional environment where every woman can feel supported and confident in the water.

Surfing with Inês means feeling close support, real progress, and an authentic connection with the ocean. Each lesson is designed so that you leave the water with more confidence, energy, and a desire to come back.

My Story

Surf Mama was born from my own story. I am a woman, I am a surfer, I became a coach — and throughout my entire career I never had the opportunity to be coached by a female coach. I lacked that reference. I lacked that identification.

Today, as the founder of the school, I have chosen to transform that absence into a purpose.

The Surf Mama School's women's movement isn't just about learning to surf. It's about creating space. Safe space, space for sharing, space for growth. It's about women getting in the water together, facing their fears, celebrating achievements, and discovering a strength they often didn't know they had.

Over the years I've realized, more clearly, that my path isn't just about teaching technique—it's about training women. Developing programs dedicated exclusively to the female universe. Building a community where surfing is a tool for confidence, autonomy, and leadership.

Surf Mama represents connection between women, empowerment, nature, and courage. It represents a businesswoman who believes that sport can be a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.

This is just the beginning of a larger movement: a women's community at sea, with purpose, vision, and impact.

Girls Only is just the beginning of a larger movement: a women's community in the ocean, with purpose, vision, and impact. For girls who want to learn or improve their surfing in a safe, positive, and feminine environment.

As a female surfer and coach, Inês brings a unique approach to teaching women's surfing — creating a space where other women feel understood, supported, and inspired to improve.
More than just teaching, she believes in creating a female community at sea, where every wave is an opportunity for growth.

Within Girls Only there are two well-defined profiles:

Girls Only – Beginners
 For women who are starting out

Girls Only – Intermediate
 For women who already surf and want to improve.

Much more than training

This program includes:

  • Surfing in a group, without pressure.
  • Sharing experiences
  • Creating connections between women
  • Having a safe space both in and out of the water.
  • Women's meetings
  • Special sessions
  • Surf Mama experiences just for women.

Why a women's community in surfing?

Because there are still too few of us in the water.
Because together we are stronger.
Because surfing can also be about sharing, not just performance.
Because learning from other women is inspiring.
Because there's room for everyone — regardless of age, body type, or skill level.

This project exists so that more women can surf, improve, and feel a sense of belonging.

What makes this service different?

This is not just another surf lesson product.
It's an experience, a community, a space for women's growth.

Video Analysis

Video analysis is an exclusive session for intermediate surfers in the Girls Only program who already feel confident in the lineup and on the inside. For 90 minutes, we film your surfing in action and then analyze the videos, offering visual feedback and individual tips to improve posture, technique, and maneuvers.

This service allows you to track your progress, gain confidence, and accelerate your surfing skills in an objective and personalized way. Ideal for those who want to improve their technique and surf with more autonomy and safety.
