Rico de Souza, 55, of Brazil fired a shot for all fat, old, longboard surfers when he recently rode the world’s longest surfboard at a beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Afterwards he said that the ride had been a thrilling experience. “It was an exceptional wave, the wave was shaky, the board was jumping, but I managed to stand firm,” he said. . . Asked about his future plans, he said that he only wanted to enjoy life and do good deeds. . . “Life is a joke and we have to take advantage of our passage through earth in the best way possible,” he said.
Apparently, breaking silly world records is on Rico’s “best” list.
