Introduction
Petrobras is one of the great sponsors of Brazilian surf. Based on its close relationship with water, as it is in the sea that most of the oil fields are located, and aware of the importance and greatness of the seas, Petrobras is in an ongoing process of becoming an integrated energy company, concerned with seeking the best way to interact with its source.
Bringing these two thoughts together, nothing could be more fitting than supporting surf, since it is on the sea waves that this plastic sport is played out. Ecological awareness and environmental preservation are two things that surfers and Petrobras have plenty of. To the company, surf uses a pure sort of energy, one that translates the bond between nature and man to perfection. Thus, supporting surf is a matter of perfect harmony for Petrobras.
Petrobras sponsors the Petrobras Women’s Surf Circuit, the Petrobras Longboard Classic, the Petrobras Men’s Surf Selective, and the Petrobras Surf Festival. The four competitions attract athletes from all over Brazil and promote surf’s growth and development in Brazil.
