YELLOW-GREEN PODIUM IN CALIFORNIA - by Paulo Piqueres -surfworldtour.blogspot.com

It was an "historical" day-  September 15th- for Brazilian surf in California. The podium of the WORLD CIRCUIT OF SURFING, had two athletes yellow-green. I mean perhaps will be hard to happen again, WHO knows???

I filmed the podium broadcasting by  WSL - WORLD SURF LEAGUE :

- USA/08 -HURLEY PRO at TRESTLES;

- USA/07 SWATCH WOMEN'S PRO at TRESTLES..

Both events were won by Brazilian surfers as follows:

USA/08 - Filipe Toledo(BRA)

USA/07 - Silvana Lima(BRA)

I liked when the WSL speaker said  to both :

Now you can speak Portuguese for you friends in Brazil, and they spoke.!!!

English is the Languague of surfing anyway, the name of manuevers, the equipment, the slangs, and so on..I am from farway, Rio Grande do Sul -the sourthen state in Brazil,.but I always like and study English since a Kid so  since I started my small blog of surfing in 2008, I posted everything in English, after 10 years - WCTs now CTs ,I also  prepare Version of the Newspapers of Rio de Janeiro where I am living now, also write Overviews, Performances, Tributes, and produce Videos of World Circuit of Surfing...

But it was so NICE to listen my native language in the podium, I got emotional because when I started in 2008 in my first surf event in Garopaba beach as "beach marshall" and later in Praia do Rosa - Beach of Rosa, and in the same year in Praia da Vila - Vila Beach in Imbituba, Santa Catarina,  WCT, I never could imagine what's happening today in the Tour..

Brazil has two World Champions :

2014 - Gabriel Medina(BRA) the "first";
2015 - Adriano de Souza(BRA).;

The Brazilian storm is always fighting for the best positions in the stages, in the Ranking, that's so nice for fans of this wonderful sport -"The most beautiful"...

Now has a podium of Brazilians, is so much...

We do not know what happen when we passed way...but for sure, I will MISS  the
