Imagine a place where nature is the purest canvas, where the salty wind meets volcanic cliffs and the ocean offers a continuous spectacle of strength and freedom.

This place is Ribeira Grande, the beating heart of the island of São Miguel in the Azores—a territory deeply connected to the sea, surfing, and Atlantic culture.

SARGO places Ribeira Grande at the center of a global dialogue on art, sustainability, and the power of local cultures.

SURF

SARGO is born from this natural and cultural symbiosis.

In this event, surfing—an authentic expression of communion between humans and the ocean—meets urban art, a channel for free and disruptive creativity. Together, they transform the landscape of Ribeira Grande into true open-air galleries, with nature as a backdrop.

This event represents the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. It rescues ancestral stories from the Azores and projects them into the future.
