BARRA, Rio/Brazil – Rio de Janeiro is on the top. Still under the effects of the carnival that overcame all the records, the Olympic Games of 2016 headquarter, the main stage of 2014 World Cup and Rock’ in Rio 2011 home Rio now celebrates the return of the World Tour. Billabong Rio Pro happens after almost a decade far from the city. A very celebrated decision by those who live in Rio, and they will be able again to watch closely the best surfers of the world.

The original place of national surf, our good and old Arpoador, had been chosen to be one of the alternatives to the championship and the main stage is going to be built in Barra da Tijuca. The local decision of the competition, however, is going to be taken according the most favorable conditions of the sea. It’s going to be another big party in Rio and because of that ALMA SURF highlights some tips and options for you to enjoy the best of the wonderful city.
