"To catch the phenomenon happening you have to wake up at dawn, to make a surf film there it's better not to sleep at all." đź‘˝
yo good morning riders, all good?! Today I'm going to share with you our last winter session in the capixabas waves with a volcanic stone background. I hope you like it, the photos below are frames from a short film shot by the incredible photographer and fillmmaker Iuri Emanuel for the Airdrop Culture surf team.
We started with that classic call from local hero Felipe Lacerda, who pointed out the possibility of the phenomenon happening... the truth is that it is very rare for it to happen, and on a scale from 0 to 100, let's say we reach 80% of it happening, but The conditions of this secret wave in the north of Espirito Santo are much better, with bigger and puffing tubes, waves doubling on the bench becoming twice the size inside, with a powerful sway. Apnea must be up to date.
As usual, Bruno Busato and I were testing crazy board models, me with my asym Maze Surf Crafts parallelogram and Bruno with his twin with a stabilizer inspired by the Aipa shaped by Cesao, Julio Cesar Alvares.
Another cool thing to see in this session was everyone with their boards shaped by friends, ARDRP surfing equipment, Felipe with his own jetski, Yuri with heavy audiovisual material with lenses and drones, it's gratifying.
They go into the water, sea rocking shallow bench, Felipe like crazy on the jetski but still under control in defensive direction, without ceasing to explore the more elongated curvatures of the vehicle, Bruno in the led behind, Thiago BG in the sand getting ready to enter, Dan Dan, Ricardo Noronha arriving by car in the second shift late, iuri in the images, and "Dan Dan'', ah Daniel Costa woke up and got lazy, ate a piece of pizza and went back to sleep.
The truth is that the paddle to this peak is not the most friendly, there is a current with some bigger boulders below, and if you lose your strep on the outside your board will probably be dragged towards the corals inside, home of the uricos. We appreciate the use of the jetski at this time.
Line Up
The photos below were when photographer Yuri entered the water with the help of Jetski, as before that there was an amazing step off session between me, Lacerda and Busato, with smooth waves of the first hour doubling and silent tubes of dawn. This didn't register, only in our heads.
"This is me doing a classic move in front of the lone pipe breaking. movement of gratitude."
When Iuri arrived at the peak and started recording there was already a little wind, and that little bit of wind was enough to add the other 20% of the balance to not closing in the perfect condition. Even so, take Lacerda's torn roundhouse.
It's incredible to see how this man is connected to the wave, he practically manufactured the tubes, of course they were there for everyone in the water, but when it comes to water, there is a certain point of concentration and physiological connection for an overwhelming performance, and That's what Felipe did.
During the stepoff session my keel was slightly loose, as usual when the jet ski pulls me on the LED, I get worried about my fins, as I made a mistake in my future fin cup and when it reaches extreme speed it It ends up not being able to hold up, luckily this board is already going to the definitive concert with Herculao. So the surfing after Step Off, at least for me, was a little lighter, trying to find some lost tubes as well as maneuverable and long waves.
One of the things I like most about surfing with parallel asymmetrical models is the feeling in the dig and in the maneuvers, as well as in the tubes and in the stroke when I look at the nose, it's interesting how there is a certain area left in the tail too, in theory due to the distribution of the tail, I must position the foot according to how I want the maneuver, and with that keel that I mentioned above, it is better to make a safer line.

Lonely, Mrs Lonely
As usual, the lonely waves crashing in tune with the lone photographer inside waiting to capture the moment.
Fascinating how the drone capture shows another image from the side angle, really something more spatial, but wider, so in this sequence above you have a better idea of ​​the surfer's positioning, the path that the jet ski took until leaving the zone. impact safely into the channel, and the other warrior surfer returning to the outside taking the wave on his head, meanwhile Felipe does 2 tubes on the same wave.

Invasion or sharing?
If there is one thing in the world of crowd surfing between populated spots, it is the invasion of a wave that is supposedly someone else's preference, so the two surfers get on the same wave and generally it's not a good thing that happens. However, at a surf spot with friends it's not a very common thing, right? but it happened to us, Noronha and Lacerda on the same wave at an angle that appears to be even dangerous, but I believe the boys had the situation in control and were possibly laughing at the time of the wave. But it is not without danger. There's always this madness between these two, that's why they love each other.
Felipe flying with his classic model renato larica who knows this wave very well and was present in glorious classic condition at noon lunch time. Ricardo disappearing in the middle of the foam.
Drone view of the magical resort of manguinhos. Down there is the place where I said if you lose your board it will stop... it's not very friendly but it's still beautiful.
We can't forget to mention him, Thiagao BG, oldest idol is also one of the OGs, he pulled me for the first time in a Slab in our fall in D2 (bent position) with the asymmetrical board model 5'5 sweet amnesia, always He had a lot of vibes throughout the jetski run in rougher seas, he deserved to be here, he's thinking that Thiagao only rides tubes and big waves... the guy came with his performance board on the front deck and a sharp backside on the bench.
So guys, I hope you enjoyed this report, sharing a little more detail about our session with those of you who surf and who don't surf. It's a sport for everyone and deserves to be known, Dance with Nature. To the next. Ciao Ciao
