Hi, my name is Ruth Rosa Daniel. I’m 16 years old, and I live in Costa Rica where I’ve grown up surrounded by the ocean. Surfing has been my passion since I was little, and today I proudly compete in both national and international longboard competitions.

‍♀️ My recent achievements:

2nd place – Costa Rica Longboard Open Women’s Division

3rd place – Costa Rica Longboard Open Men’s Division

Currently ranked 4th in Latin America (ALAS Championship)

This year, I’ve been given the opportunity to compete in the 2025 ALAS Tour—a series of international competitions where I’ll represent Costa Rica and test myself against some of the best surfers in the world.

✨ My dream is not only to compete on the world stage but also to inspire other young girls to follow their passion, whether it’s in surfing, sports, or life.

Why I Need Your Help

To compete, I need to raise $3,000 to cover:

✈️ Travel & accommodations

Competition registration fees

️ Training & equipment support

As a 16-year-old student-athlete, I can’t do this alone. That’s why I’m reaching out to my community for help.

How You Can Make a Difference

Donate: Every gift—big or small—brings me closer to competing. Even $20 covers a meal or $50 helps with registration fees.

Share: If you can’t give financially, please share this with friends, family, and surf fans.

Sponsor: Businesses and brands are also welcome to collaborate (surf gear, apparel, lifestyle campaigns).

❤️ Thank you!

I’ll be sharing updates, photos, and videos from training and competitions so you can see how your support is making a difference. Every wave I ride, I’ll be carrying the encouragement of those who believe in me.

Thank you for your help!
