Pedro Santana

Follow Pedro’s surf travels.

I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. I’m the younger. My older brother (Guilherme), started surfing in the mid 80’s at our summer vacation house, in Monções, Brazil. My older brother was an experienced bodyboarder and when I was 12 years old he taught me how to surf on a very old board that was handed down from a family friend. A two fin board. My older brother was my first teacher. Today I’m always learning from the waves. Every wave teaches me something different.

Since the first time I entered the ocean with a surfboard, my life has changed. Until now I have the same feeling, every time I’m entering the sea… Surfing has taught me to respect the planet and nature. Surfing is where I feel 100% connected to nature and 100% happy.

Pedro graduated from the University with a degree in Advertising. As a student, Pedro started working in audio/video productions. Today he works as a Director Assistant and Editor of cinema and advertising productions. He also works freelance for some different movie company’s.

At the same time, I’m keeping playing the drums in my reggae band, and participating in some other music projects.
