Ana Rita Cruz: "Each day at sea is different and we have to adapt to the conditions"

Defesa de Espinho4 September 2026 at 15:00

Ana Rita Cruz is a surfer who has been practicing the sport since she was very young, having grown up in a family environment strongly connected to surfing. Her parents have always been practitioners and they were the ones who transmitted the passion for this sport from her earliest years of life.

The athlete was mainly taught by her parents, with special emphasis on her father, who is a surf instructor. Her uncle also contributed to her training in this sport, thus completing the family support in her learning.

When questioned about the sea and the practice of surfing, Ana Rita Cruz stated that each day at sea is different and that it is necessary to adapt to the conditions. This statement reflects the unpredictable and challenging nature of this sporting discipline.
