Our Veynou: Michelle des Bouillons
Michelle des Bouillons was born in Rio de Janeiro and comes from a family,
who have surfing in their blood. She made her own surfboards with her father from an early age and spent her youth in the waves of Rio at the
foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain. Her origins and connection to our oceans
made her an active protector of our oceans from an early age.
Today, Michelle is one of the few women who call the biggest waves in the world home every year, as in Nazaré, where 30-metre waves are not uncommon, where she demonstrates all her skill and courage. An extreme sport that requires an
extraordinary confidence in one's own skills and an exceptional
mental Thickness .
The symbiosis of Sustainability & performance
As the designer of her own surfboards, she continues the tradition created by her father. Like us at Veynou, Michelle is committed to using recycled materials in the production of her surfboards, which at the same time withstand the high demands of the ocean. The perfect symbiosis of Sustainability and performance.
Michelle embodies the values we live by at Veynou . She symbolizes the
courage it takes to achieve the impossible, the strength it
takes to change things and harmony with nature. She is a unique role model, she is a Veynou.
Nazaré - the biggest waves
Nazaré is the meeting place for the world's best big wave surfers, like Michelle. The Portuguese town is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean. People from all over the world come together on the rocky promontory of the São Miguel Acanjo fortress to enjoy the spectacular views and watch the waves, which can be up to 30 meters high.
