From Captian Tom In Brazil: GGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLL !!!!!

Hola Paulo,

 

from the dive - with strange telenovelas with white blonde women - in the background -in Boiçucanga, Sao Paulo (!).

After all that great mat-geek-centric stuff you've been posting - and after a few (politically incorrect) beers and caipirinhas and some perfect after-surf 'Lula a dorê' I've decided to bother you with ex-mat-centric stuff.

Folks are totally into the REAL football world championships here.

 

The guys providing for the beachfolk are seriously awesome and mix good stuff.

 

And - after several hours of sliding waves and climbing back onto my (inflatable - at least it's that - same thick round rails as a mat - makes me think about peeling off the fins) sup - the session in the beachbreak on the XL was just plain - GREAT! 

Anyone going to Brazil: Bring a mat and go to the beach!

 

Good people and good vibes.

 

Hope, all is well.

Tom
