Brazilian surfing entrepreneurs and specialists Luis Henrique Pinga and Daniel Cortez predicted that the level and magnitude of what is now called the Brazilian storm will come to an end and will have a gap of "at least" 10 years.

They said this in conversation with Ader Oliveira on the Fala Papah podcast, explaining that the work that was done back then with the surfers who later became world champions, efforts by the brands and their environment, is not being done now.

In contrast, they pointed out that Australia is currently the nation that is coming on strong and noted that European surfers are experiencing strong growth, highlighting the Donegan brothers, the Odriozola brothers, and Alejo Valido.

They also noted that Portugal is doing well.

Cortez and Pinga are businessmen related to Dora and Toledo respectively and are extremely respected figures worldwide.

Interestingly, the comment about this gap comes at a time when CBS is working with a very high budget for both professional and youth talent.

In contrast, years ago neither the juniors nor the open teams had any support from CBS.
