On Christmas day 2009, Carlos Burle – renowned top ten big wave surfer became father to Reno Kai Moura Burle. That was a little over a month ago, in the meantime, he’s still been training on the North Shore and grabbing the occasional bomb off Pe’ahi.
Five years ago Tom Kay (Finisterre Founder) and Ernest Capbert (Marketing Director), decided to pile into a rented van and head to London’s Heathrow Airport to pick up Carlos Burle one of the world’s finest big wave riders.
A couple of weeks ago, Carlos and Ligia tied the knot, amongst the flurry of wedding preparations, family etc, Carlos had a little time to nip off to west coast of South America - Peru to be exact and compete in South America’s most prestigous big wave event - the Pico Alto Invitational.
