engage and 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.
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.
