Rio BB Pro, Itacaotiara Day One



Today was the opening day of the Rio BB Pro here in Itacaotiara, RJ.

The waves were in the 8-10ft range and the wind was slightly onshore.
Competitors turned up and checked in by 8am and were ready to hit the water.

Organised by Uzmi Unit, the Rio BB Pro was underway and competition was at its finest.
It was tough to surf in these waves. The current was very strong, the waves were bumpy and most of all Heavy!!..

Check out some of the photos from todays action after the results.
