Welcome to one of Brazil’s heaviest slab waves.

Shock is one of Brazil’s heaviest slab waves that produces pretty heavy and challenging barrels. Life and the sense of death seem to walk hand to hand here. Although is hidden most of the times, the spot stays in Itacoatiara Beach (Niterói, Rio de Janeiro) which is known for decades for its powerful beach break waves.

Dudu Pedra was one of the first local bodyboarders exploring the nature and the unique qualities of the Brazilian slab. Above, you can clearly see why he stills to venture in such temperamental spot.
