Emissario Submarino of Santos

I took this photo like a month ago from a helicopter. This is the Emissario Submarino of Santos and the walls of buildings that go all the way through the beach. The red sculpture on the right, it’s a work of Tomie Ohtake, a Japanese artist lady that came to Brasil some long years ago. The whole park it was designed by Tomie’s son, Ruy Ohtake and will have picnic places, a skatepark, a huge lifeguard tower, the first public Surf Museum in Brasil and a big deck to watch the waves … This is where we will have the V Santos Surf Festival. A week event with activities, all for free… It will have place for the kids to play, a longboard contest will be taking place over there too. And much more… It really nice to see those waves breaking and think that this is where the surf born in Brasil. Hope you guys enjoy the view and this will give you a little taste of what we will have here in January. Click on the photo and welcome to Santos everyone!
