12 Years Later - Carlos at Todos
We’re finding it hard to keep up. Carlos made the final of another big wave event on Sunday at Todos Santos, Baja.
In 1998, Burle emerged on to the big wave scene with spectacular results by winning the first event ever held at the reef in gigantic 50ft surf. Having been charging and homing his skills for years prior, off the radar, this event made a name for the Brazilian, as he beat the classic North Shore contingent to the top spot. Twelve years later and there is no doubt he still is one of the best in the world at what he does - someone we’re proud to have on board.
Its been one of his best winters yet: Spectacular displays of big wave surfing on the North Shore saw him rank well in the Eddie Aikau at Waimea, before he was nominated for an XXL big wave award after grabbing an astonishingly big cover up at Jaws. Barely a week or two later and he’s in the line-up for the Final of the renowned Mavericks contest, in what has been dubbed some of the heaviest paddle in surfing seen for a long time. This past weekend he reached the final of the Todos Santos contest - eventually placing fourth.
His hardwork over the past twelve months means he’s flying back home today to see his family and newborn son with a second place overall ranking on the Big Wave World Circuit. We’re stoked to hear the news, and as the Todos Santos event is not long over, we will keep you posted very soon with some of the best highlights from his exploits this winter.
