Bodysurf in Copacabana

in #travel8 years ago


Combination of sea, mountains and buildings on Copacabana beach, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, view of Leme stone at sunset. Some consider the most beautiful beach in the world.

Leme and Posto 5 in Copacabana are points known for their powerful waves and ideal for practicing bodysurfing.



In bodysurf the surfer flows on the wave without a board, only using his own body. It is one of the most primitive and fun ways to surf.



In Brazil, this sport is called "Jacaré", or "catch jacaré", literally: to catch an alligator
