Breaking barriers in extreme sports, with Noah Tamaral
In this episode of ODS5, Zona Franca Barcelona’s podcast on female talent, we have the pleasure of chatting with Noah Tamaral, the current European wakeboard runner-up. At just 17 years old, Noah represents the new generation of women in extreme sports, a field where female presence is still scarce. She shares her fascinating journey since she started practicing wakeboard at the age of seven, inspired by her father’s influence—who is also her coach and a great support throughout her career.
During the conversation, Noah talks about the challenges she has faced in a sport traditionally dominated by men, reflecting on the need for visibility and female role models in wakeboarding. Despite the difficulties, she emphasizes the importance of family support and the sports community in her personal and professional growth. She also addresses the gender gap in sports, both in terms of recognition and opportunities, and how she is determined to inspire more young people to dive into this thrilling discipline.
Noah leaves us with an inspiring message for all women and girls who want to pursue their athletic dreams: believe in yourself and enjoy the journey. This episode is a powerful reminder that perseverance and passion are key to achieving success in any field.
