What do you know about Bruno Santos?

That he’s Brazilian and likes getting tubed? Maybe that he surfed his way through the trials to win the Teahupo’o main event in 2008 if you’ve got a good memory. Part from that, not much, right? The internet has limited answers – the man grew up surfing the wedging peaks of Itacoatiara, Rio de Janeiro, and every sound bite or interview featuring the man is 99% to do with how much he likes barrels (duh), particularly Chopes, Deserts and Pipe. Which doesn’t really paint a picture of the man beneath the flawless knifing technique, but does it really matter? Bruno’s obviously charged with putting himself deep behind the curtain of the world’s premier barrelling waves, and in that he’s a certified success. Hit play on Bruno does the Ments above and marvel at the man’s tube whispering.
