(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.

Engage & Progress with Like-Minded Women

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.
