My Surf Videos

For surfers, the beach at Ipanema, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is famous for its light-blue water and treacherous beach break which regularly forms sweet barrels. This makes for a great time for the bodysurfers at Ipanema beach, who can experience waves of 10-15ft. during the winter months.

It would be wild bodysurfing in 10-15ft waves! Especially ones that break so freakin’ close to the beach. Just watch the above video taken from the point of view of the bodysurfer.

As a stubborn Italian Gemini, I would attempt to show off my skills for the Girls of Ipanema. Tan bodies… exotic bikinis… Brazilian accents…. Perfect environment when tearing up the waves and soaking in the sun. For more about Ipanema and to get a little taste of paradise, check out the Ipanema Insider’s Guide. I found it quite helpful and had some great photos from the beach and surrounding city of Rio.
