SAO PAULO, May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brazil has been conquering the world of surfing, bringing new talents to the World Circuit and expanding the 'Brazilian Storm' – the nickname given to this new generation of Brazilian surfers.

Rico de Souza, one of Brazil's surfing pioneers, takes us through its history in the documentary "RICO. 60 years of Rico de Souza and surfing in Brazil," which premieres on May 22nd at 4 p.m. at the San Diego Surf Film Festival in California.
