The Pride of Saquarema - Brazil's Joao Chianca

WSL

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

The Pride of Saquarema, and the rising star of one of Brazilian surfing's royal families, Joao Chianca, aka Chumbinho, burst onto the scene in 2019.

Along with his childhood best friends, Samuel Pupo and Mateus Herdy, Joao is part of the Brazilian Storm's second wind.

Chumbinho first made a name for himself his first winter on the North Shore as part of the iconic Volcom Team.

Joao and his older brother Lucas-who happens to be one of the most respected XXL hellman and slab hunters on the planet-have put in plenty of time at Teahupo'o the last few years, experience that might pay dividends for the 23-year-old.
