Not sure if that is true or not. However, the water in all of the ocean and beaches surrounding the metro Rio area and all coastal cities has bacteria levels and human feces in it. The levels are 195 times the legal limits in Brazil. It gets to over 300, but they got it down to 200 for the World Cup. Every local in the country knows that when you enter the water there, you are literally swimming in human feces, 365 days of the year. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/04/rio-is-literally-swimming-in-poop/360860/
(Insert guy heartily clapping) I'm at work and that image does not fly. Great post zach619, great post.
pretty much this. as has already been mentioned, brazzos are pretty much the worst people to share the line up w/. i've never made my disdain for SUPs in the line up a secret, but i'd rather surf w/ a busload of SUPs than brazzos. everything everyone has said is true...they drop in w/out looking (or caring, for that matter), & if you call them out, they gather their bros & try to gang up on you. surfing is an aesthetic sport; style is everything. bad style is more unforgivable than not being a great surfer. JJF &/or Connor Coffin > Gabby (& certainly > AiDS!). all the brazzos on tour have horrible style, but (admittedly) Gabby has the best of the lot. unfortunately, it seems like he's a gigantic douche turtle like the rest of them.

What in the world does 'U2 come caca' mean? Why should anybody have to or want to 'apply' to hang with some chumps who think they are the only ones in the water?!? The only thing I can think of is you have never surfed with any so you have no clue. The only race of people worse could be Germans. They really don't have a clue what the he!! Is goin on. I've seen them yelled outta the water for being dangerous on numerous occasions. And yea it's a generalization. Of course there's exceptions to every rule.
None in south america, however i type this from nicaragua, and i live in maui, where every winter we get a flood of south americans. So i have surfed many a time with them on breaks that are not their home breaks so you would think a little modesty would be required.
He's a douche, but that definitely was not his fault. Happens every day at Lowers and it's the guy paddling's fault.
yes exactly They are all over El Salvador and no one likes them including myself. I don't care about the pro circuit but Brazilians get their suck on
Ahh, but the Brazilian women... ...and those Brazilian bikinis. Some of the old guys can be feisty though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVQt7B9_pkI
kinda interesting our takes at opposite ends of spectrum. i went to them and fit in. they come to you and you fend off.... quick story - i pull into popoyo, go into hotel to check-in. a brasilero says hey i'll fix my ding. i said new board; not dinged. he says IT IS NOW....***** popped a hole in it w/screwdriver and theres 10 of them outside waiting to see what i'll do....cause it was not my destiny to be beaten to death in nic i cough up $10.....and the ***** fixes it with a smile (!!!!!!!!!!!)... hows the surf in nic? if you stand on the beach at gigante and look northeast you'll see a ridge....i own 12.5 pct of it...
anybody see 'running on rails' on msw? sorry no link but this drop-jaw surfing once again from medina (!!!!!!!!)....
