Ipanema Beach is famously known for its elegance and social qualities. Two mountains called the "Dois Irmãos" (Two Brothers) rise at the western end of the beach. The beach is divided into segments by marks known as "postos" (lifeguard towers). Beer is sold everywhere on the beach along with the traditional cachaça. There are always circles of people playing football, volleyball, and footvolley, a locally invented sport that is a combination of volleyball and football.
In the winter the surf can reach 9 feet. The water quality varies with days of light-blue water to a more murky green after heavy rains. Constant swells keep the water clean. The often treacherous beach break regularly forms barrels.
Just west of this colorful section and towards Leblon is another popular stretch of sand known as Posto 10 (10th lifeguard tower) where young and often beautiful carioca men and women hipsters congregate.
The Travel Channel listed Ipanema Beach as the sexiest beach in the world. A wonderful place isn`t it?

Gopro HD Bodyboarding Courtesy of Tropical Cyclone Bianca in Perth Western Australia!
On the 30th of January 2011 Perth Western Australia had a rare summer
swell courtesy of Tropical Cyclone Bianca. 8am the beach was flat, but 2
hours later and the waves had picked up to 3 - 4 foot which made fo an
ok shorey bash. Footage is a little ship and choppy cos I accidently
had me Gopro on only 30fps
Perth was only a shorey but it was still fun (except for the getting the worst sunburn of my life part, and rocking up to my new job looking like a fried lobser with eyes so sore and bloodshot that they must now think im a stoner)
