(But actually nice girls and small waves)
Based on Vancouver Island, Bitches ‘n Barrels is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering inclusion in the surf. Through community-building events in Victoria and accessible surf trips to Tofino, we are committed to creating an inclusive and safe environment for anyone who identifies as a woman or non-binary to learn and progress in the water.
2026 Season Planning
We’re in the midst of planning our 2026 season! Dates and more information will be available in February 2026 and registration will open at 9am PST on March 7, 2026.
Engage & Progress with Like-Minded Women
Bitches ‘n Barrels began with a love for sharing surf and adventure with like-minded women. Our trips are designed to build community and introduce you to rad, inspiring women.
Head to our Community Board on Facebook to connect with other badass women to plan surf and adventures!
What to Expect on a BnBs Surf Trip
Though each Bitches ‘n Barrels trip offers its own unique experience, there are a few key elements that remain consistent across all of our surf adventures.
Land Acknowledgement
We run our trips on the unceded, ancestral homelands of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. In addition, we are based in Victoria and we acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples on whose stolen traditional territory we live, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
