RIO DE JANEIRO IS DEFINITELY THE BOMB ! 

THE LIFE STYLE , THE PEOPLE, THE FOOD...

AND OF COURSE THE SURF IS ALSO GOOD.

BUT FOR A LONG TIME THE CORE OF THE SURF INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL IS IN SAO PAULO.

ALL BEST  THE MAGAZINE ,  THE BIGGEST  SURF COMPANIES ARE FROM SAO PAULO .

BUT  NOW IN RIO THERE IS " SURFAR " MAG , MADE BY SURFERS FOR SURFERS AND THIS MONTH THEY ARE CELEBRATING THERE FIRST ANNIVERSARY .

AND WHAT A ISSUE , SOME AMAZING PICTURES OF SURFING IN RIO DE JANEIRO NEWEST SLAB .

 I WAS HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE WITH SOME OF MY PICTURES FOR  AN ARTICLE ABOUT STAND UP SURFING AND THE LATEST SHOTS OF THE HAWAIIAN SEASON . 

CONGRATULATION TO MR. ANIBAL (THE EDITOR) AND ROGER FERREIRA FOR BRINGING A LITTLE BIT OF THE SURF BACK TO RIO.

  

EXTREME MAGAZINE

THE NEW ISSUE OF EXTREME MAGAZINE IS OUT ON THE WEB.
I CONTRIBUTED WITH A FEW NICE SHOTS OF THE LATEST NORTH SHORE SEASON .
AND IT IS ALWAYS VERY REWARDING TO SEE THOSE IMAGES BEEN USED WITH A NICE LAYOUT .
MOST OF THE TIMES THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS NO CLUE OR THEY JUST DON'T IMAGINE HOW HARD IT IS TO CAPTURE SOME OF THESE IMAGES.
BUT I GUESS THIS IS PART OF OUR JOB , GO AFTER THE SICKEST IMAGES SO THE PUBLIC CAN JUST ENJOY IT !
