Hey everyone!

This October, I'm embarking on a challenge I’ve dreamed up called the Surfathon—an epic journey to surf 50 beaches in 5 days along the stunning Portuguese coastline!

What’s the plan?

I’ll be living out of my trusty-ish camper-van, which will be my bedroom and surf base for 5 days.

My days will be packed with wetsuit changes, stretching, eating, sleeping, and, of course, lots and lots of surfing!

I’ll be sharing my journey with you through updates on Instagram and a surf tracking app that will monitor my wave count and location.

The Rules:

3 waves per beach (that's 150 waves in total!)

Minimum 20 minutes per session (1000 minutes of surfing)

Timing will depend on the weather and swell, so I’ll kick off the challenge sometime in October - Will notify everyone a few days before.

Why am I doing this?

Surfing is not just a hobby; it’s a vital part of my mental health routine. It's hard to imagine life without it. That’s why I’m using this Surfathon to support The Wave Project, an incredible surf therapy initiative that works with young people aged 8 to 21 whichs are facing mental health challenges, learning difficulties, or physical disabilities, and The Wave Project helps them build confidence and resilience through the power of surfing.
