Stocked to be surfing again!
- Thread starter brukuns
- Start date
are the waves that much better in Iporanga? seems like you could save a bit of time going south instead
I surf in São Pedro (right by Iporanga, which has no waves at all).
The waves area bit better but the thing is the crowds... my other option is to surf at the City of Guarujá proper (and I do a lot of the time), as crowded as it gets
São Pedro is a gated community and the gates are closed to the public before 7am, so I get to surf with barely any crowds because my buddy owns a house in Iporanga (Iporanga, São Pedro and Tijucopava are all connected).
i see, wouldn't want to surf around a bunch of other brazzos either
best to drive the extra hour for less frustration in the water
This ^^^Priorities are backa$$ward brukunsYou need to walk to surf and commute to work
Never 20 minutes plus be from the coast.
I'd live in a fisherman's shack a friend has right on top of my favorite wave if my bones could stand the humidity!
Just to be clear, "as crowded as it gets" in any place in Brazil is a tiny fraction of the less crowded day ever at any of the relatively known SoCal spots between SD and SB (not to mention Santa Cruz). You guys know what I'm talking about.i see, wouldn't want to surf around a bunch of other brazzos either

This map suggests a water route to the beach. Do you have a dugout canoe and and outboard made out of a string cutter engine? Some of the portages admittedly look difficult and probably through crime-prone areas.
Shoots! Surely he can swing from some vines to get thru those parts!
Actually had a college roommate, never left the state of NY before college, ask me how we got across the island, when I told him I did high school in P.R.... "did you use vines to swing, like Tarzan? Or have to walk thru the jungle with machetes, like Bogart in African Queen?".
Had a sequence of bad days, was needing a day like today with a bunch of fun ones ridden...
well, buying one won't wreck a budget even if I look like a total kook...it was such a nice day after all.
We had a few days with air temps in the 57s... that's quite cold for those parts, those days I put on my full suit too. water still around 69, not too bad. But the day in the photo it was already in the 60s, a spring suit was doing just fine for me.What's with the full suits, what temp air/water you sporting lately?
Still stoked to be surfing again. Some fun little ones yesterday morning, somehow only a few people fighting for this peak most of the time. Yes I know, total kook... but check how fun that little one looks!
Fuck yeah baby.
Still a total kook, but with all these photographers lately I've actually been able to see the main things I'm doing wrong positioning wise and sloooooooowly improving upon it. Tried to open up more on this one. Not there yet, but getting a bit better after every surf.
Sorry photographer, you were pushing it with the price charging double compared to the others... I would have bought it otherwise.
