The Sao Paulo native and national hero looks right at home surfing the coastline that opened the door to a handful of world tour wins and global introduction to Brazil’s tour prowess. With Fiji having arrived, the Rio leg is officially over, but one last glance wouldn’t hurt, would it? Showing how comfortable he is on smaller beachbreak with these smooth cutbacks, it’s cool to see such an energetic surfer seemingly slow down — though there’s still plenty of aggressive and powerful moves packed into this short edit. And him getting shotgunned into the air around the :42 mark is the kind of bail you’ll want to enjoy a couple times.
