This high class death slab (that will remain nameless) lays hidden in plain sight close to one kilometre off the coast of one of Rio’s most famous beaches. Somehow this wave manages to stay under the radar of the international surf scene. All to often social media will blown out and expose such waves in a bid to please the masses of hungry surfers of the internet who are baying for the next hidden world class spot to froth over. This wave lives in relative anonymity possibly due to it being a very fickle beast. The wave requires a certain swell direction and swell size to start to break correctly and due to it’s location so far from shore it is highly susceptible to any ruffle of wind.The combination of these factors equates to it being immensely difficulty to score this wave in a short period of time and is not unlike finding a needle in a haystack.
