Hey guys, thanks so much for checking out this video! Was a lot of fun to make, I'd love to know in this thread who your favourite Brazilian Surfer is?
Also if you want to see more videos about Brazil, I have a recent episode about the history of Samba in the Favelas.

Antônio José Lops Rocha Júnior says:

Obrigado Lula

Andre says:

A verdade é que o Brasil domina tudo, UFC é um dos melhores, futebol tem o maior da história, f1 tem o maior da história, surf é um dos melhores, vôlei é um dos melhores

Ane says:

Spear Surf says:

É Brasil poooooooooorrrrrrraaaaaa!!!! 🇧🇷

TubeBrasil says:

Two factors were crucial…many more people speak English, air tickets became cheaper, this new generation travels much more than before.
But come one…why every foreign video has to show favelas…WTF, only a minority of people live there. You showed a favela in Sao Paulo, 50 miles from the beach.
So many beautiful beach cities to show. Dont be lazy, get some good shots.

Zarathustra 369 says:

Kalinne Ferreira 2H says:

Se o brasileiro quiser ele domina até o rockey e o ballet

Guilherme Jll says:

We pay one of the world's largest tax caragas, it is difficult leftover money. It is difficult and very expensive to leave Brazil and go to another country, mainly to the USA, many who leave here have to go to do their best. Or give your best or stay home!

Lais Vitória says:

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Miria Lopes says:

Quem me convocou?

Emilly Andrade says:

Easy, we crazy bro, we need just one chance.

J MJ says:

porque eles podem surfar todos os dias e você não precisa ser rico no Brasil para surfar. no Havaí, eles são considerados uma nação diferente dos EUA. WSL only promotes the people they want. Just like F1, you have to be rich to be in WSL. There are 400 guys in Brazil that are just as good as the guys in Pipe masters but they won't get a chance because red bull and WSL wants to promote a certain aesthetic with their athletes. Same reason surfing is in the olympics in 2024 in Tahiti. If it was a real competition there would be 15x as many brazilians as there are, but no, Japan gets to compete…. Please. Will people competing for Hawaii in WSL compete as Team USA in 2024 Olympics????

Luisa Fernandes Alves - Aluno CEI says:

For sure surf in Brazil is awelsome! Every time i can i go surf and the waves were perfect!
I live in Brazil!

Fernando Cesar says:

Brazil has been dominant in many sports over time: football, Formula 1, Mix Martial Arts, BJJ and now surfing.

Big Bollocks says:

Please boycott Red Bull until they hand over the murderer to face Thai justice. Thank you.

João Marcos says:

I literally live in the amazon, so I rarely see the sea or even surf. But its an interesting video

Bonzer says:

I met a few Brazilians here in Australia and they are really very good at football, surfing and volleyball.

Thiago Oliveira says:

Dont forget, the most popular radical sports in brazil during years , was Skateboard. we had the best skaters as well. I think there is alot of conection. Brazil are the most larggest skateboard community in the wolrd, then we discovery when u fall at the water, hurts less than at

asphalt. thats why alot of brazilian surfers 😀 AUEIHRUHERH BR Iam brazilian and i never had surf in my life, but iam proud for we be the best surfers in the world right noow! and the worse english speakers ever! ahahaha

Elson Felix says:

Douglas Rocha says:

Título: "Brazilians"
Brasileiros automaticamente: "quem me convoca?"
