Sisters Suri and Sienna Rodrigues took first and second places at the ASCC Super Groms in Lisbon at the end of March, making them an Algarvian sister act to keep your eyes on.
The 2025 circuit began on 29 March, with the first of three stages held at Praia do Marcelino, in the middle of the Costa de Caparica. The young surfers travelled from their home in the Algarve to take part in the two-day event organised by the Costa de Caparica Surf Association (ASCC).
In the women’s U-14, Suri Rodrigues won with 12.16 points. Sienna came in second with 9.40 points.
The sisters from Carvoeiro attend school at Jacinto Correia in Lagoa, but when they aren’t studying, the girls train five times a week. With a Portuguese father and Dutch mother, they already have an impressive list of wins.
Sienna is only 11 and started surfing when she was five, entering her first competition at age six. This year, she was the national champion of the Rip Curl GromSearch under 12 girls and came 5th in the under 16s Portuguese nationals.
Suri is 14. She began surfing when she was six and now has an impressive resume. This year she was a finalist at Volcom Surf Happening Europe U16, the regional champion of the south region in both the U16 and U18, and secured first place in the third leg of the Regional Championship in Lisbon U16. She also enjoys skating and playing football.
The girls´ biggest achievement was the European Final of the RipCurl Gromsearch 2024 in Anglet, France where Sienna got 2nd place in the U12 and Suri secured 3rd place in U14.
The girls dream of joining the world tour when they are old enough and are currently looking for sponsorship.
