Greetings, Shredderz! Here’s a rad poster from the 1986 OP Pro held somewhere in Brazil. I don’t know much about the contest, and I know even less about Brazil’s nascent surf scene back in the 80s, but add that to the long list of subjects I’d like to explore. I think the American and Australian surf media — or, sadly, what’s left of it — has yet to properly appreciate and contextualize Brazil’s emergence as the dominant force in pro surfing (competitively, anyway). In the meantime enjoy this great poster from the early days of Brazilian pro surfing.
