I just want to surf well. If happens, happened. I do not want to put pressure on myself, just want to surf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I read his words in the Extra Newspaper to prepare the Version in English- I thought to myself - Gabriel Medina will surf very well without pressure, and he gave a surfing show in Pipeline.

This year I prepared myself better, find a better place to stay in Rio de Janeiro. I did myself a banner of the blog and took some photos in Arpoador beach, and in Barra da Tijuca (the stage moved to Posto 2 -Postinho).I also visited Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Pontal, Macumba, and "Prainha" beaches .Prainha beach is very beautiful, it seems a paradise. I was feeling more comfortable in the WCT too.
Unfortunately on this season in Brazil, Owen Wright(AUS)did not advanced over the Round 3

2013 THE SITE BILLABONG RIO PRO 2013
I created the site surfworldtour.com, registered the domain. I did myself the banner. But the site was just for a while on the Internet.. I did not like the lay out, but I continued to work in the blog. Writing scripts in HTML language to the web. Sites are more difficult to deal with, because I have to sent the files to the server, and I did not have so experience. Sometimes the uploading is unstable though. My site files have many images.
Owen Wright(AUS)did not come to the stage in Brazil -unfortunatelly he was injured in the season.
2014 THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS BILLABONG RIO PRO 2014
In my 4th WCT in Rio de Janeiro, Owen Wright(AUS)competed.
The stage was -Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour/ASP -Association of Surfing Professionals.
Samsung promoted an Interview on the beach with Australian surfers Owen Wrigth(AUS) Adam Melling(AUS), Dion Atkinson(AUS), Mick Fanning(AUS), Bede Durbidge(AUS). At the interview, the Australian surfers gave theirs autographs on the posters of the event to fans. I said - Hi ! to the Australian surfers.
I keep it carefully in my room at my house in RS-Brazil, I have a private Surf Bar only for my friends,at basement of my house.At Surf Bar, there many posters of the surf events since 2006, after my father dead and I my life turned away...
Owen Wright(AUS)surf well and reached the Round 5, but was defeated by F. Toledo(BRA)
2015 the biggest BILLABONG RIO PRO
In this stage, Owen Wright(AUS) surfed very well, in Barra da Tijuca beach, and I took many photos of him on the shore, before competing.
After five events in Rio de Janeiro, I learned many things, I already know some people, professional photographers,the legend, Mr. Sebastian Rojas.I have more experience now. I like to take photos of the surfers on the shore, when they are going or leaving the water. But I never perturbed them at the concentration or anything else.
Owen Wright(AUS) surfed very well the heavey waves of Postinho -Barra da Tijuca -Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, but was defeated at Quarterfinals by his compatriot Matt Wilkinson(AUS)
Bede Durbidge(AUS)surfed very well with edge manuevers on the heavy waves of Postinho and went to Final, against Filipe Toledo(BRA)
Filipe Toledo(BRA)defeated Bede Durbidge in this stage in Rio de Janeiro.
2015 Billabong Pipe Masters Hawaii
I was happy because Owen Wright(AUS)had some chances to be the Champion this year despite to need some combination of results.
When I see the Round 1, I realized that Owen was out of competition, and replaced by Mason Ho(HAW)so I thought to myself: Something should be happened with Owen Wrigh(AUS)otherwise he would be in the heat 2. But only on Friday, I read the News in Rio de Janeiros papers about the accident with the Australian surfer.
At this famous stage, I am doing Versions everydays from the papers of Rio de Janeiro: O Globo, Extra, Lance; TV programs: Jornal Nacional -Rede Globo -Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, and some related articles from the Intenet.
I became so upset after know about Owen Wrigth(AUS)accident before the stage in a surfing session: and Bede Durbidge(AUS)in the heat 2 of Round 3. But they would be recovered soon for sure, both are tough guys.
The Australians surfers are so admired in Brazil, and for "sure" the surfing fans wish theirs prompt recuperation, including the children of Imbituba/Santa Catarina that loved them.
I "from heart", wish to BEDE DURBIDGE(AUS) and OWEN WRIGHT(AUS)a fast recovery, and back stronger to the next season in 2016.

Samsung promoted an Interview on the beach with Australian surfers Owen Wrigth(AUS) Adam Melling(AUS), Dion Atkinson(AUS), Mick Fanning(AUS), Bede Durbidge(AUS). At the interview, the Australian surfers gave theirs autographs on the posters of the event to fans. I said - Hi ! to the Australian surfers.
I keep it carefully in my room at my house in RS-Brazil, I have a private Surf Bar only for my friends,at basement of my house.At Surf Bar, there many posters of the surf events since 2006, after my father dead and I my life turned away...
Owen Wright(AUS)surf well and reached the Round 5, but was defeated by F. Toledo(BRA)
2015 the biggest BILLABONG RIO PRO
In this stage, Owen Wright(AUS) surfed very well, in Barra da Tijuca beach, and I took many photos of him on the shore, before competing.
After five events in Rio de Janeiro, I learned many things, I already know some people, professional photographers,the legend, Mr. Sebastian Rojas.I have more experience now. I like to take photos of the surfers on the shore, when they are going or leaving the water. But I never perturbed them at the concentration or anything else.
Owen Wright(AUS) surfed very well the heavey waves of Postinho -Barra da Tijuca -Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, but was defeated at Quarterfinals by his compatriot Matt Wilkinson(AUS)
Bede Durbidge(AUS)surfed very well with edge manuevers on the heavy waves of Postinho and went to Final, against Filipe Toledo(BRA)
Filipe Toledo(BRA)defeated Bede Durbidge in this stage in Rio de Janeiro.
2015 Billabong Pipe Masters Hawaii
I was happy because Owen Wright(AUS)had some chances to be the Champion this year despite to need some combination of results.
When I see the Round 1, I realized that Owen was out of competition, and replaced by Mason Ho(HAW)so I thought to myself: Something should be happened with Owen Wrigh(AUS)otherwise he would be in the heat 2. But only on Friday, I read the News in Rio de Janeiros papers about the accident with the Australian surfer.
At this famous stage, I am doing Versions everydays from the papers of Rio de Janeiro: O Globo, Extra, Lance; TV programs: Jornal Nacional -Rede Globo -Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, and some related articles from the Intenet.
I became so upset after know about Owen Wrigth(AUS)accident before the stage in a surfing session: and Bede Durbidge(AUS)in the heat 2 of Round 3. But they would be recovered soon for sure, both are tough guys.
The Australians surfers are so admired in Brazil, and for "sure" the surfing fans wish theirs prompt recuperation, including the children of Imbituba/Santa Catarina that loved them.
I "from heart", wish to BEDE DURBIDGE(AUS) and OWEN WRIGHT(AUS)a fast recovery, and back stronger to the next season in 2016.
