To bring the collaboration to life, the two brands chose a truly spectacular setting: the Brazilian Amazon.
The campaign highlights one of the world's most fascinating natural phenomena, the Pororoca. This extraordinary tidal wave forms when powerful Atlantic Ocean tides travel upstream through the Amazon River system during new and full moons.
The result is breathtaking: a powerful and seemingly endless freshwater wave that cuts through the rainforest, attracting surfers from around the globe in search of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The campaign captures the spirit of exploration that both brands embody, showcasing the beauty, mystery and raw energy of one of Brazil's most remarkable natural wonders.
