What our Sisters Say

Renata Scripilliti

Longboarding came into my life through friendship. Fernanda opened that door, sharing her passion, patience, and belief that I could do it too. She made the ocean feel welcoming instead of intimidating. Then Gabi came along, and the journey became richer. Surfing with them is a living lesson — tips, corrections, and encouragement with generosity and care. They made me see longboarding not just as a sport, but as an art, and accelerated my progress in ways I could never achieve alone. My surfing journey is shaped by their friendship, guidance, and example. Longboarding wouldn’t be the same without them… and neither would I. Thank you so much Fe and Gabi ❤️
