Copacabana beach is in Rio de Janeiro.

It’s famous for its beaches, but not for surfing.

For most people, surfing isn’t great there.

Thiago Costa didn’t agree.

He decided to go surfing for 100 days.

Each time, his plan was to find a round ’barrel’ wave.

Costa’s friends wanted him to do this.

They asked him to put photos on social media.

They wanted other people to see them.

That way, people might start surfing again.

Gabriel Sodre’s a surfer.

He enjoys seeing Costa’s pictures.

He can see that Costa loves doing it.

He's always on the search.

You can see in his face that he does it out of love.

That's what matters.

For Costa, it isn’t just about surfing.

There are lots of water sports.

Water sports can make you happy.

I might reach 200 barrels.

I think it's difficult but let's try.

I think that's the challenge.

Life is always an eternal challenge.

Surfing is also a challenge."

Surfers everywhere will be able to watch Costa on social media.
