VIVO Rio Pro Presented By Corona
Rio is the second to last stop of the regular season of the Championship Tour. The wave at Saquarema, located in the Itaúna Beach area of Rio de Janeiro, is renowned for its powerful and consistent break, but Brazil is even more so renowned for its passionate fandom. The local support for Brazilian athletes is unparalleled, creating a unique atmosphere in surfing. This will challenge Yago Dora, Tatiana Weston-Webb, Italo Ferreira, and every other surfer on tour to tune out the pressure and concentrate on clinching a place in the WSL Final 5.
