SÃO PAULO WINS THE BRAZILIAN MARESIA AMATEUR SURF TOUR
The last and decisive stage of the Brazilian Maresia Amateur Surf Tour held at Saquarema beach, Rio de Janeiro, was marked by good waves, lots of sun and intrepid surfing. São Paulo won the event and also secured the tour’s title, since they only needed to come within the three first positions to guarantee a place at the top of the ranking.
