Brazil is the fifth biggest country in the world and has a coastline of nearly 7,500 km full of beach breaks, reefs and point breaks. Brazilian people are warm and friendly people, however known for being competitive in the water. This is the land of the Carnival with good, low-budget living, happy people, bikinis and great waves in an immense land rich with a vibrant and varied culture. Rio is a great place to start your journey, although April to October are the best time for waves, it’s worth getting to Brazil in February to experience the Carnival. Then head further south to the beautiful beaches of Florianopolis which has the most consistent surf on the Atlantic side of the country.
