Congratulations to the winners: Joselani Amorim and Alice Teotonio on their World Master and Junior Women’s Titles, and Luna Hardman on her win at the ArcelorMittal Wahine Bodyboarding Pro.

September 20, 2025 – The ArcelorMittal Wahine Bodyboarding Pro 2025, presented by Extrabom, came to an end this Saturday at Solemar Beach, in Jacaraípe, Serra (Espírito Santo, Brazil), with emotions running high, tears, joy, and historic achievements.

"“I’m so, so happy. This is a dream come true. Coming back strong after surgery, surfing light and happy—it feels like the start of many more wins,” said Luna."

Neymara, equally emotional, praised her daughter’s resilience:

"“As a mother and an athlete, I couldn’t be prouder. I created a champion. She told me she would win, and I didn’t quite believe it, but she proved it with her strength and focus.”"

"“I’ve been competing since I was 14, and now at 52 I’m living my biggest dream,” said Amorim. “I dedicate this to my family, my state of Rio Grande do Sul, and especially Neymara, who convinced me to come. Without her call, I wouldn’t be here today as World Champion.”"

The closing day also featured special semifinals packed with drama, and concluded with the “Mothers & Daughters” expression session, a Wahine exclusive, celebrating generations of female bodyboarders sharing the waves.

Over ten days of competition, the Wahine gathered athletes from ten nations (Brazil, Austria, Chile, Spain, USA, France, Japan, Morocco, Peru, and Portugal) and distributed US$ 45,000 in prize money.

About the event Created and organized by five-time World Champion Neymara Carvalho, the ArcelorMittal Wahine Bodyboarding Pro is dedicated to women’s bodyboarding. “Wahine,” meaning “woman” in Hawaiian, reflects a deep cultural connection with the sport’s origins. The 2025 women’s World Tour featured four stages (Agadir – Morocco, Iquique – Chile, Sintra – Portugal, and Wahine – Brazil) and distributed a total of US$ 220,000 in prize money.
