SANTOS

Santos , located in the state of São Paulo, is recognized as the largest port in Latin America and a fundamentally important economic center for Brazil. Its urban identity is defined by a unique coastline, boasting the world's largest continuous urban beach garden (holding a Guinness World Record). This vast expanse of urban green spaces creates a unique setting for surfing and leisure activities. The history of surfing in Santos dates back to the 1960s, with the city developing a resilient and deeply urban surf culture. Currently, the community is strong, with notable landmarks such as the Santos Surf Association (ASS), fundamental to the evolution of the sport in the region.
