The best surfers in the world gathered in Rio de Janeiro this past weekend for the Billabong Pro Rio.
Competitions took place over ten days at the beaches of Barra da Tijuca (women's competition) and Arpoador (men's competition).
Brazilian Adriano de Souza took the title in the men's competition, and Hawaii native Carissa Moore placed first in the women's.
