The first week of Girlie Surf Camps took place one week ago in Viareggio, Italy

Did someone ever say that you can not surf in Italy? Well, the girls at Girlie Surf Camp proved this to be wrong! The first Girlie Surf Camp of the season took place last week in the sunny Mediterranean coast in Viareggio, Italy. Viareggio, the Italian “Monaco”, situated only 20km away from the famous city of Pisa turned out to be a fantastic place to host a Surf Camp, with its beautiful white beaches, clear blue sea and warm temperature. When in other parts of Europe, people are starting only to hope for summer and some sun the Girlie Campers got to taste the real summer days in Viareggio already in mid May!

Twenty girls from all over the world gathered to Viareggio, Italy to learn surfing with the Quiksilver Surf School and the two Roxy pros, Valentina Vitale and Cristina Irisarri. The week was beautiful with lots of sun and nice small waves. Next to surfing, the girls also got to taste the culinary life of Italy and if you believe the rumors – I heard that they had the best ice cream of their lives in Viareggio… Beside that the huge terrace on the hotel roof gave a spectacular landscape over the beaches to have yoga, during the hours surfing was not possible.

“It was a great pleasure too meet Alessandro, the Italian Roxy distributor and all his crew. We were very well taken care of and the surf conditions were really good. I was a little bit worried about that in the beginning but the whole week turned out to be blue sky and perfect waves. Viareggio offered us great possibilities to run the first Girlie Surf Camp of the season. Thanks to everyone.” Marika Borg, Managing Director, Girlie Camps

"The Girlie Surf Camp in Viareggio was really wonderful. All the girls wanted to learn surfing and they always participated with great happiness to the lessons! I thank Roxy for giving me this great opportunity to teach surfing at a Girlie Camp and I think that should be more camps like this! Keep surfing!!!!" Valentina Vitale, Roxy Pro-Surfer

“I really like the Girlie Camp concept. It’s important to make the girls to understand that they also can do it! For me it was much easier to participate when I saw that it is an all-girls camp!” Cecilie Barck, 25, Norway, Camper at the Viareggio Surf Camp

Girlie Surf Camp in Viareggio was definitely the best way to start the summer and get the first waves of the season! Anyone who didn’t make their way there did miss something - that is for sure. But don’t worry next chance to join the Girlie Surf Camps is in Oualidia, Morocco 16-30th of June!
