Who is João?

João Kopke brings together surfing, travel and storytelling through exploring different places around the world, spending time in the water, and documenting life around the ocean. His work connects surf sessions with the places he visits, focusing on the experience of each destination rather than performance, and sharing a simple and honest perspective of surf culture as he moves between waves, people, and landscapes

Who is SIRIKIT?

Sirikit lives close to the ocean, where surfing, movement and yoga are just part of her everyday life. She keeps things simple, staying active, spending time in the water and moving regularly, bringing a calm and grounded energy to the people around her. She’ll be joining the Sri Lanka week as co-host alongside João Kopke, adding her presence and perspective to the overall experience.
