ABOUT BRUNA: Bruna grew up in Matinhos, Brazil—a town so small you could ride your bike from one end to the other. The quiet town allowed Bruna plenty of time to work on her surfingat the super long right hand wave in her town. She got into surfing at the age of 10, when she figured out that’s what her older brother was off doing every day. He signed her up for surf lessons and “I knew that surfing was for life because I couldn’t stop smiling,” she says.
