A Wave That Defines Careers
Itacoatiara is not just another competition venue — it is a proving ground. Located in Niterói, just across the bay from Rio de Janeiro, this powerful beach break is known for delivering some of the heaviest and most technical waves on the tour.

Fast barrels, steep drops, and unpredictable conditions define the lineup, demanding absolute precision and commitment from every athlete. When the swell peaks, Itacoatiara produces some of the most spectacular and challenging conditions seen in competitive bodyboarding, making every heat a true test of world-class ability.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Serra da Tiririca State Park and crystal-clear Atlantic waters, the setting offers a unique combination of raw nature and elite sport.
