The word that’s often thrown around to describe Brazilian fans is “passionate.” Too often, really, but it is, for the most part, true. Some Brazilian sports fans are… well, passionate. The newest episode of Kelly Slater: Lost Tapes follows the GOAT as he experiences the biggest and loudest crowds of any surf event on tour.
It would be tough to be as well-known as Kelly Slater, especially in a place where you’re a little more likely to be mobbed on the beach. And in Rio de Janiero, that’s certainly a thing that will happen. While it might be tough sometimes, the excitement in a big crowd can be wonderful to be a part of. Getting swept up in that excitement is something everyone should experience once. But if you’re Kelly Slater, it can add to the pressure in an already high-pressure event. In this episode, he fights to stay focused amid the intense environment, pressure, and spotlight.
