Description
At 7am on Copacabana beach, Thiago Costa watches the heavy ocean waves with a special challenge in mind: to catch a barrel wave.
Since 2018, Thiago has set a challenge to surf 100 days a year in Rio de Janeiro, trying to catch at least one barrel wave each time. "The barrel is the magic moment of surfing, (...) it gives me the feeling of being reborn. It's like coming out of Mother Nature's womb," says Thiago. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
