The 2018 Oi Rio Pro was the best ever. Indeed, our expectations were far exceeded… a nice contrast to Margaret’s and the Founder’s Cup.

And when Saquarema is cranking, a nearby slab aptly called Shock starts working…sorta like The Box.

WSL couldn’t and wouldn’t add the “Shock” slab as an alternate spot…unless they considered allowing ‘Towing’….cause this spots not meant for paddling at ‘proper size’. SNN.
