A few photos from the Layback Pro event held at Prainha June 15-19, 2022. As the announcer consistently reminded us, Prainha is truly an iconic surf spot just outside Rio de Janeiro and is backed by a nature preserve.

I spent a week observing the afternoon activities at Surfin Fire Surf School while my daughter attended their surf camp. She really enjoyed herself, and I took a few pictures of her and the other kids. This particular series shows the essence of beginning to surf, from the initial pop-up with an instructor stabilizing the board to the final fall with a smile on his face.
