Riding out the pandemic, Rio surfers catch a wave of controversy
Despite stay-at-home orders, Rio's famous beaches are still buzzing with surfers.
They're seeking to catch the season's first big swell.
Rio's state governor has nominally banned quote 'spending time at beaches'.
And surfers and bodyboarders like Guilherme Faria have been stopped by police before and taken down to the station.
But, despite the threat of a fine, he was back in the Copacobana surf just a few hours later.
'I hope I don't end up with a criminal record for something as silly as that, he told us.
Like thousands of Rio's famously sporty locals, he couldn't resist the call of the outdoors and the ocean.
Some surfers argue they merely cross over the sand to enter the sea.
And Brazil's president Bolsonaro has called the beach ban 'dictatorial'.
Still, many athletes acknowledge their concerns pale next to the challenge Brazil faces.
State governors, including those here in Rio, have warned underfunded public healthcare systems could soon collapse.
