Kat Barrigão

My name is Kathleen Barrigão but most people know me as Kat. I’m 16 years old, half Irish and half Portuguese but I’ve lived my whole life in Portugal. I’m a competitive surfer and I love to travel to new places to surf any kind of waves.

I’m lucky to say that I have a super supportive family and also really supportive sponsors such as:

       JANGA Wetsuits

       Lacrau Surfboards

       Barrel Get Inside

       Mimi et Fonfon

       Macho Fins

       DCODE Surf Equipment

These have made it possible for me to be where I am today. Like I mentioned before, I’ve done sports my whole life but surfing has become my one and true passion and I hope to never give it up. I’m currently balancing my school life with my possible future career. When I’m not surfing I enjoy spending my time outside, hanging with my friends and also writing in my blog. 
Overall, I am always trying to take things step by step and enjoying the most of what I have.
