Part 2: Florianopolis

Back in Florianopolis, we we're instantly greeted by perfect waves. Caue and I surfed an insane sand bottom right point called Campeche where we were getting double barrels regularly. We got two other great wedgy barreling beach breaks called Matadeiro and Lagoinha and had a great time just cruising and relaxing. We hung out with beautiful women, got good waves and got to chill with our friends Elohe and Felipe as well!
For a week I stayed at Elohe's house in the Jungle. To get to his house, you have to take a bridge across a river, walk a pathway, walk a half a mile on sand down to the other side of Matadeiro Beach, and then walk 10 minutes uphill into the Jungle! No roads in sight, no wi-fi, no cell phone reception. Such a cool experience! 
Good times in Floripa... I'm headed back in October and can't wait!
Next stop on my trip-Argentina!



Brasil is sucha  special place... the people love the beach and appreciate it so much! Everywhere, there are little "praias" like this with beautiful beaches and delicious food!
