‘Intentio’ reminds it’s Brazil’s time to shine.

Miguel Pupo air-revved his way through the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro in California, the next World Tour event is about to start in Rio and – in a year chock full of surf movies looking to raise the bar – the most interesting surf trailer we’ve seen comes from an unheralded Brazilian videographer.

The film is Intentio, the filmer is Loïc Wirth, and he become real known, real fast when the section he edited for Uruguayan Marco Giorgi beat Joel Parkinson and Kelly Slater in round three of Innersection last year. I’d seen Marco surf and been impressed by the kids chops down in Tasmania at last year’s O’Neill Coldwater Classic, but Loïc’s edit (and the choice of track), really make Marco’s innersection section shine.

We’re looking forward to the beginning of the Billabong Rio Pro, but we’re pretty psyched on this flick. Look out world, here comes Brazil.
