The war is far from over, and while the world has watched yet another stupid show, things happen in the surfing world.

Currently, I go outside. I’ve taken on mother mode and he just doesn’t want to leave me at all. Therefore, I ask for understanding.

I’m also having trouble ending cycles, and every time something comes up I end up coming back here.

Whether it’s about a stage on the world circuit, absolute Nazaré, or a complaint of aggression, there are several reasons to go with OriginSurf.

With launch scheduled for November, Surfland exceeds 400 million in sales

Surfland, in Garopaba, should “open its doors” in November this year.

With more than 4 thousand sales and 400 million so far, the Surfland venture will have seven buildings: Ferrugem, Rosa, Vermelha, Barra, Ouvidor, Silveira and Siriú. The names are a tribute to the beaches in the region.

In addition to the wave pool, the complex will have a 2,000 m² skatepark, planned by the skateboarding phenomenon Pedro Barros.

Restaurants, gyms, a spa complex, a children’s play area, a surf school, tennis, beach tennis and soccer courts, in addition to a mall and a museum, complete Surfland.

Speaking of pool…

The startup WaveSeg, which was born in Argentina and is consolidating itself today in Brazil, believes it is a viable business model for ventures that aim at surf parks or condominiums and even, why not, a swimming pool open to the public?

“We are currently looking for investors to recreate on a real scale what we have already proven in models and many studies carried out since 2012”, says Omar Modini, founding partner of Waveseg.

Surfer Tatiana Weston-Webb, who competes for Brazil, won the last stage in Peniche, Portugal. In addition to the Brazilian, the excellent performances of Filipe Toledo and Italo Ferreira took them both to the semifinal heats. Toledo fared better, but was beaten by Griffin Colapinto, who celebrated his first win in a CT stage.

Next stop Bells Beach

Scheduled to take place between the 10th and 20th of April, the next stage of the World Tour will be at Bells Beach in Australia.

It is worth remembering that last year, the Government of Vitória did not allow the world surfing event to be held because of the pandemic. Despite the fact that, in the same period, the famous tennis event took place.
