O Minuano

With a documentary approach, the film delves into the rich tradition and striking landscapes that have shaped surfing in the region, paying tribute to the adventurous spirit and resilience of Rio Grande do Sul surfers.
More than just a sports record, the project is a celebration of the state's cultural roots, presented under four fundamental pillars:
The greatness of the heritage received;
The humility in recognizing those who came before;
The interaction between generations, connected by the vital link of tradition;
The meeting point where surfing intertwines with gaucho culture.
Rio Grande do Sul, known for its challenging waves and unique conditions, has a rich history in surfing — often little recognized outside its borders. Minuano thus emerges as an essential initiative to value this trajectory, encourage local tourism, and preserve the historical memory of Gaucho surfing. Through audiovisual language, the film conveys positive and inspiring messages, highlighting the impact of surfing on cultural identity and people's lives.
The project pays tribute to the people of Rio Grande do Sul for the tragedies they experienced in May 2024....
