Her love of surfing and the ocean reflects in spending most hours of the day in the water, catching waves. Almost a decade now, she has been teaching surfers of different levels.

Founder at SURFMOCION.COM

Travelling, discovering, trying new things, never stop challenging herself … all these things can be used to describe Bea.
