Hi there, I’m Angie, surf coach and co-founder of NOMB Changes.
Next week I will travel to mainland Spain and support women who have faced breast cancer in discovering the healing power of the ocean – at Trancalmate, our surf & yoga camp in Galicia. With your support, I can be there for these women in the water.
Trancalmate is not “just” a surf camp. It is a safe space for women who have gone through or are still going through breast cancer – a week to recharge, connect, and rebuild confidence in body and mind. Through surfing, yoga, healthy food, and community, the camp offers healing moments and unforgettable experiences.
Why Trancalmate matters
Over the past years, I have witnessed how powerful this week can be: women paddling into their very first waves, laughing & crying together on the beach, and discovering new strength they didn’t know they had. For me as a coach, it’s one of the most inspiring and emotional experiences of the year.
Where your donation goes
Your donation will be used to cover my travel and accommodation for the camp, as well as a modest compensation for my work as a surf coach during the week. The compensation allows me to take time off from my regular job and fully dedicate myself to supporting the women in the water.
➡️ Important note: The funds don’t go to me directly. They are received by NOMB Changes, an NGO registered in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), which then takes care of these costs.
My funding goal is €550 and will allow me to fully focus on guiding the women in the water. If we raise more than the goal, the extra funds will go directly into treating the participants – whether that’s a special dinner out together or an extra surprise activity. With your help, I can be fully present in Galicia and give these women the surf experience they deserve.
Follow my journey
Instead of joining the annual Make a Wave challenge in September, I will dedicate myself to surfing every single day of Trancalmate week. I’ll document this journey, and my sessions with the Trancalmate ladies, on my social media channels – so you can follow along, celebrate each wave, and see the impact your contribution makes in real time.
Every donation, big or small, helps me stand by these amazing women and give them the unforgettable experience of being in the ocean.
Thank you for believing in this project and for supporting me in bringing the healing power of the ocean to Trancalmate 2025.
Love Angie
About Me
My name is Angie Ringleb. I’m a professional surf coach and co-founder of NOMB Changes, a non-profit that uses surfing as a tool for inclusion, therapy, and change. Based on Fuerteventura, I run surf coaching and trips around the world. But what matters most to me is making the ocean accessible for everyone, no matter their background or physical challenges. Being part of Trancalmate is one of the most meaningful things I do each year, because I get to share the healing, empowering energy of surfing with all those incredible women.
