Meet One (Of Five!) Brazilian ‘CT Rookies: goofyfoot flyboy Jesse Mendes

Brazil now makes up the lion’s share of World Tour. This year, there are eleven Brazilian surfers on the CT. 

ELEVEN. 

That’s almost a third of the Tour. And almost half of them are rookies. Stab‘s friends at Brazil’s MOIST have launched a new original series, NOVATOS, to introduce the CT’s fresh faces: Jessé Mendes. Willian Cardoso. Yago Dora. Tomas Hermes. Michael Rodrigues. 

One episode per rookie. One video per week.

In the first episode of the series is Jessé Mendes, who qualified so far in advance that he spent most  of the year competing in peace. Watch and find out more about Mendes’ trajectory and expectations for 2018.
