Brazilian consistency will be present at Costa de Caparica

The Brazilian Surfing Confederation, the National Governing Body of Surfing in Brazil, confirmed the list of athletes that will represent their country in the ISA World Surfing Games in Costa de Caparica’s waves, Portugal, from October 11-19.

Even though Brazil does not take any of Brazilian WCT representatives, the “verde amarelo” team has a great ally for the World Surfing Games: the consistency that has helped Brazil to get to the podium many times in the past, as well as the Longboard Champion: Phil Rajzman.

The Brazilian Team has always succeeded in making the most of their athletes to qualify for the final rounds of the event.

The Brazilian Surfing Team is:

OPEN MEN
LEANDRO ALBERTO (Bahia)

Brazil has an excellent record in ISA World Surfing Games’ history. In 2000, Brazil, as the host team, had a resounding triumph in the team competition. The Brazilians won six golden medals out of the seven divisions disputed. In 1996, 1998, 2004 and 2006 they obtained the silver medal and they got their lowest result in Durban, South
Africa 2002, when they placed third.
