From 11th to 13th of October, Carcavelos Beach will host the 20th edition of the Cascais Boogie Chicks, a bodyboarding event dedicated to women in the sport. The organisers expect to welcome over 200 participants, declaring it "the largest event in women's wave sports worldwide".
The initiative includes the national women's championships for Under-14 and Open categories, as well as European championships in the Open and Junior categories. Beyond the competitions, there will be bodyboarding lessons for all ages and skill levels.
Organised by the Boogie Chicks school with support from the local council, the programme also features an inspiring discussion space: "Women and Salt Conversations", where various female personalities will share their experiences. Registrations are open until 6th October.
