  • Rocío Reigert

    Argentine

    Pro Wingfoiler • Pan-american Champion • 4x Brazilian Champion

    Born in Argentina, but a Brazilian at heart. Pure essence and crazy about adventures. She discovered wind and water sports on a Kombi trip through South America. At that time, she had no idea how much an activity could change her heart and mind. Feeling the wind on her face, the power of the sea, and the unique dance of the waves became a great pleasure and something she can't live without anymore. Traveling in search of waves, getting to know different cultures, understanding the conditions, and assessing her abilities is a dream she lives by every day.
