SurfSkate Trip around Brazil
SurfSkate Trip Around Brazil
It was an amazing experience as I was accompanied by my friend Vitor Meira @vitormeiraw, who not only excels as a competitor, being the reigning National SurfSkate Champion, but also produces excellent videos.
It was a significantly long trip; for over 40 days, we were committed to exploring different places and expressing, wherever we went, the ultimate reality of surfing through the surf simulator.
Together, we had the opportunity to interpret wave readings in different surf skate park formats that closely resemble concrete waves. The itinerary includes visits to various surfskate parks in Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. Check it out!
Our first visit was to the iconic Rio Sul Bowl, located in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, from Brazil. This skate park is particularly famous for its perfectly constructed lines and for hosting major national-level events.
Continuing our search, we met up with the local SurfSkate athlete from Rio de Janeiro, our friend “Mineiro,” who showed us the Snake near the Maracanã Stadium, one of the most famous football stadiums in the world.
Next, we visited Praça do O, located in the west zone, known for its beautiful beaches and considered one of the postcard attractions of the city.
We said goodbye to Rio de Janeiro and continued our journey to Santa Catarina, where we attended the South American SurfSkate Championship held at @wavegardenpdr
During the trip, Vitor Meira injured his arm and was unable to perform at his best in the championship.
From there, we returned to the city of Paraná with our friends Christian and Eliete, the couple behind ISSA SurfSkate, as they live in Curitiba and introduced us to the legendary Gaúcho Skate Park, inaugurated in 1974, being one of the first skate parks built in the bowl style in Brazil.
Satisfied and grateful to all the people from the southern regions for the warm welcome, we returned home with the feeling of being more experienced in surfskate.
