Who is it for?

This is for any female identifying person looking to grow and connect in the action sports industry.

 

It’s for action sports companies' employees or applicants, action sports athletes or creatives, freelancers and entrepreneurs in any section of the action sports industry.

No matter if you are a CEO or an intern, an experienced business owner or a brand new entrepreneur, you are all welcome and you will all benefit to meet each other. 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Through WASN I met some of the most inspiring and influential women in the board- and action sports scene. WASN events are not a classic conference where everyone wants to show off and tell the others how things get done. No! They are about learning from each other, grow together and most important it is about very valuable connections that can become friendships.

EL MARESME

El Maresme is a region located between Barcelona and the Costa Brava that combines the richness of an internationally recognized tourist area with beaches of Mediterranean beauty, active marinas, culture, gastronomy and the traditions of its popular festivals with lush vegetation of the three parks: Serralada Litoral, Montnegre and Corredor; and Serra Marina.
 

Maresme is made up of 30 municipalities; 16 on the coast and 14 inland and has become a good cultural and leisure alternative. Natural spaces with marked paths and trails, beaches with multiple services to enjoy the summer, cultural routes and a wide range of museums to visit, leisure companies with original proposals... A gastronomy based on products from the garden and the sea, where strawberry, pea, squid and DO Alella wines stand out, among others. An entire offer based on quality products.

HOW TO GET THERE

Only 20 minutes from Barcelona we find the beautiful village of Premià de Dalt, home of one of the most iconic European action sports facilities, La Poma Bikepark. 

Only five minutes from the bikepark there is Can Casadellà, the fabulous rural hotel which will become our home during this bootcamp.

The owners Magda and Josep  will welcome us in their three-storey manor house with side galleries and a sgraffito façade in the style of colonial Caribbean houses in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature.

The house is located in the middle of a five-hectare estate, which includes an orchard, fields and a Mediterranean pine forest, all surrounded by gardens.

Throughout the estate you can walk along wide paths that lead to a variety of charming corners, enjoy the old pond in front of the house which has been converted into a swimming pool or you can relax in the sun or in the shade of centuries-old trees.

Bookings aren't open yet, but let us know you're interested so we can let you know as soon as booking is available.
