JHSF announced the opening of Boa Vista Village in Brazil. The residential development, anchored by a six-acre PerfectSwell Surf Pool, debuted the waves and the facilities to a crowd of guests, residents, and celebrities. The venue, situated in the countryside sixty minutes from Sao Paulo, features beach front condominiums, an international spa, retail store, clubhouse, and a beach resort all surrounding a perfectSwell Surf Pool.

On the same day as the party, the WSL World Championship Tour event in Rio De Janeiro recessed waiting for the ocean to deliver waves. Seizing on the fortunate timing, JHSF flew Olympic gold medalists Italo Ferreira, Carissa Moore, and other pros on a private plane to showcase their talent on the waves in front of a stoked crowd.
