Brazilian charger Lucas “Chumbo” Chianca is fast making a name for himself as one of the world’s most fearless and highly skilled big wave surfers. While he was born and raised in Saquarema, best known as one of the WSL Championship Tour’s high performance stops, Chumbo has caught the global eye on the strength of his game when conditions go rogue, as seen in this latest instalment of My Last Two Winters.
The edit above sees Chumbo book an around-the-big-wave-world ticket from Nazaré, Portugal to Mavericks in California, across the Pacific to Tahiti, before finishing back at the scene of his greatest success, Praia do Norte in Nazaré. Here in Portugal we see Chumbo claim yet another trophy alongside his partner-in-XXL, Kai Lenny, as Team Young Bulls once again clean up at the WSL’s Nazare Tow Surfing Challenge.
For Chumbo however surfing is about much more than trophies, and this edit is a tribute to his dedication to his craft. For a surfer from Brazil to earn the respect that he has, and travel and surf with the crew that he does - take a bow Kai Lenny and Ian Walsh - speaks volumes about the level to which Chumbo pushes himself, and the pure spirit with which he does it.

O big rider brasileiro Lucas Chumbo está marcando seu nome como um dos surfistas de ondas grandes mais corajosos e habilidosos do planeta. Nascido e criado em Saquarema (RJ), terra de uma das etapas mais clássicas da WSL Championship Tour, Chumbo chocou o mundo inteiro pela força do seu surfe quando as condições estão terríveis, como no novo episódio de “My Last Two Winters”.
O vídeo acima acompanha Chumbo pelo mundo das ondas gigantes partindo de Nazaré, Portugal, passando por Mavericks, na Califórnia, cruzando o Pacífico até o Taiti e finalizando no palco onde já está acostumado a brilhar: A Praia do Norte, em Nazaré. E é em Portugal que vemos Chumbo conquistar mais um troféu para o Team Young Bulls no WSL Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge ao lado da sua dupla de ouro, Kai Lenny.
Pro Chumbo, surfar é muito mais que ganhar troféus, e esse vídeo é um tributo à sua dedicação ao esporte. Conseguir o respeito que ele tem no mundo inteiro e poder viajar e surfar com essa equipe insana - incluindo os brabos Kai Lenny e Ian Walsh - fala muito mais sobre o nível que ele chegou e sobre o jeito leve que ele encara tudo isso.
