Brazilian Christmas

Hi all!! Yes I was in Brazil for some surfing before the season really takes off!!
It felt soo great!! The trip was my brother, my boyfriend and I! We landed in Rio de Janeiro and directly drove to Ubatuba on the beach of Itamambuca where you can surf all day long!! We found a sick Pousada (www.tocadoguaiamum.com.br) at the very end of the road.. we would wake up, grab the surfboards and walk to the beach.. we had to walk 5 min in the jungle and then cross a river to get to the beach!! We felt like adventurers..that place is soo sick!! All the 10 olds from the village surf there all day and they kill it!! They are mad good!! I got some surf tips from a 7 year old Brazilian piece of woman who was surfing 1 meter waves!

After a week we drove back through Rio to Buzios.. the St Trpez of Brazil.. we found the good local spot just outside of Buzios in Tucuns, it felt so nice to be with just some locals and not the whole jet setters crowed.. we couldn’t speak a word of Portuguese.. but made friends with the other surfers in the water.. I got soo stoked to surf some waves that were kind of big for my swiss surf level..


anyways we got kind of tiered of the spot and went back to our paradise itamambuca for another week of chill and surf..
Which was soo awsome sick sweet yeah!! Loved it!!
Of course we went to Rio for another 3 or 4 days to enjoy Copacabana, ipanema, see the Christ and Dance Samba..
Si tu vas a RIO.. N'oublie pas de monter la-haut!!

It felt quite funny to celebrate Christmas in the southern hemisphere where santa was melting under his red coat!!


Aight!! Up for winter now!! Cant wait to shred some powder!!
