Meet Luisinho
Ilhéu de Santana
AMAZING SURFER WITH A VIBRANT PERSONALITY ✨
A fantastic 21 y/o surfer from Santana, he embodies pure joy that radiates positivity, brightening every corner of his world. He is always laughing and infecting everyone with his positive energy around him. Having Luisinho in your life is like having a brother, always ready to lend a hand, lift your spirits, or share a hearty laugh, 24/7. 😆
Luisinho stands out as a curious and intelligent soul. He's always seeking new horizons, devouring books and immersing himself in new subjects. Luisinho's linguistic prowess extends beyond his native Portuguese to the fluidity of French and some conversational English.📚
Our friendship thrived through shared waves and English lessons. He holds a special place in my heart as the one who introduced me to the waves of Santana and pushed me to catch some of the most unforgettable swells of my life. I will cherish those moments and stoke them forever ✨
HOW HIS JOURNEY BEGAN?
Luisinho started surfing at the age of 9 with a wooden plank 🪵, like a lot of kids in São Tomé 🇸🇹. After a time he switched to a broken fibreboard. This shows that you don’t need the best teacher or the most fancy equipment to become a fantastic surfer. It needs as little as a wooden plank, your dedication and mindset.
His presence on a surfboard is watching pure joy, energy and skill in motion. On each ride, he transforms the waves into his canvas, infusing them with his infectious joy and laughter 🌊. Luisinho finds joy in teaching and executing radical surfing manoeuvres. The thrill of daring maneuvers moves that redefine wave-riding's limits, evoking a sense of freedom and control.
P.S. I hope my little story about Luisinho how much joy a person can have being connected to the ocean.
