Dear. I really enjoy your channel, and take very seriously your advices. I’m old timer surfer, and a regular local simce 1975. I’m watching your chapter about Florianópolis. Since I came here for the first time, we realize that outside of the island that where the great waves are. I will mention just the of the best:1) Guarda do Embaú (easier the best) 2) Praia da Vila ( Imbituba) 3) Silveira (Garopaba). Besides Peru and Chile, the #1 is the best surf spot of the whole continent. Ah, I’m a goofy. Cheers…

[@lucasborin6172]

Nice too see you enjoy my country! For sure florianópolis is one of the best surfcities in Brazil. Congrats for your channel!

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks Lucas! Yes, I love it here and can't wait to explore for of Brazil next week!!

[@davejs1671]

Another great video Dan!!! I look forward to the next few. I admire you making your dreams happen and would love to be able to travel, work, and most importantly surf. So I greatly appreciate you being willing to let us see how you make it possible.

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks David!! Hope to keep making videos and giving some insight into how it's all possible...

[@paddlerdan9687]

Nice videos Dan, you're having a great trip!

[@DanHarmon123]

Yew! Thanks, yes been a long trip ahah!!

[@generalpurpose2905]

i love your videos , very informative, thanks.

[@DanHarmon123]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait to keep making more :)

[@teiva]

great vid as always!

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@pablos.4864]

Hey Dan! just discovered your channel and i love it!! keep up posting videos! hope you can come to Argentina one day and surf here!

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Pablos! Stoked you enjoy the vids, that really means a lot!! Super keen to come and check out Mar Del Plata one day!!

[@deanarndell4609]

Nice mate, looks awesome, I loved Brasil. I surfed w my local mates in Rio I'd met on the Gold Coast in Ausie. Those beachies defo have some punch, even at 2-4ft, really fun...I live at Coolangatta, so yeah we get some megga crowds here lol 😀🤙🏄🏄🏄🌊🌴

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah I must say Coolangatta is next level crowded!! But yeah Brazil is wicked!!

[@johnschnetzler8308]

consider changing up your camera angles and views while surfing? Mostly just see your arms, deck of your board and alot of jerking around. When you were at Chicama's it was a bit frustrating trying to get the feel and look of those lovely waves with all that jerky motion. ! Not complaining just some friendly advice from a long time surfer who likes watching good surf vlogs...your intel of the places you visit is very professionally done and fun to follow...stay stoked! Aloha from Hawaii

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey John! Yes, I totally agree with you. GoPro footage sucks, unless it's barreling. However I travel on a budget by myself, so getting someone to video isn't always an option and I'm just making do with what I have. I'm looking at ways to get some front-on footage for some upcoming trips though which should make for some better videos!! Thanks :)

[@dmitryvertolet109]

sick bro!

[@pteronadon]

Nice virtual trip around Floripa! Never been there, would love to though. Once you mentioned the spelling, Moçambique spells just like Mozambique. In portuguese it's the exact same name. Keep posting!

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah its an epic place!! I love it here. Ahhh ok, got it! Thanks for the Portuguese tip :)

[@LifeAfter25]

Nice video, man! And I love how you have the same name as the creator of the Community TV show LOL

[@DanHarmon123]

Thanks mate!! And yeah I do share the same name but I've never watched a single episode of Ricky and Morty hahah!!

[@liamdonohue7526]

Moved here 2 months ago, this place is deeply underrated

[@DanHarmon123]

I know!! So true, such a wicked spot!!

[@robertofalgiano3808]

It´s our main surfcity. But if you´re to explore a bit more raw nature and consitant waves, you´ve got to try Ubatuba (north shore of Sao Paulo). Nicely done mate!

[@DanHarmon123]

Epic!! Thanks mate and yes, would love to check out that region in future :))

[@LuizFernandoDubiela]

Just watch this video. Good to know u had such good impression, but u missed some places to surf. There also some more protected beaches like galheta, which is on the left side of the Praia mole, also, there is a magic beach called Lagoinha do leste. Hope u can get here again, message me if u like

[@LuizFernandoDubiela]

Another places very close to FLorianopolis is Imbituba and guarda do embaú

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate!! Yeah, I did venture up to Galheta a couple times-super fun wave!! And yes will definitely try and get back at some stage :))

[@jjjj234jjjj]

extended my stay at floripa selina mid video! Nice one

[@DanHarmon123]

Epic!! Wicked place :)

[@brunoaguilar753]

Nice video Bro. I am from Florianópolis. For me, campeche in the best day is the best wave of the island. It’s a very extensive right wave. Then Joaquina (west), Moçambique (west) Santinho (north of the island, the best left wave) and Matadeiro (south)

[@DanHarmon123]

Sick!! yes Campeche looks sick, I haven't managed to surf it yet tho!! thanks for the other spot info.. Yew!!

[@brunoaguilar753]

@@DanHarmon123 if you want i can show you the best surf spots of north of the island! Sended you a message on instagram. Aloha brother

[@redsadventures5654]

Just looked up water temperatures and I would probably be trunking year round 😂😂

[@DanHarmon123]

Hahha yea fair enough! I'm terrible with the cold hahah...

[@itsmattyboom]

Did you buy a board there, or bring one with you? What's a used funshape / bigger shortboard in decent shape cost?

[@Petepato3]

Thanks for your video Dan! I'm thinking of going there next August for a few weeks. You say that it's been 8 foot quite often when you were there, which is a bit big for me. On those 8 foot days, do you have more protected beaches to go to ? I am an intermediate surfer ideally looking for chest to headhigh waves. Thanks!

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey James! Yes there are lots of different corners and beaches to surf when it's bigger!! I'd recommend a spot called Lagoa, it's pretty sheltered in there usually :)

[@CarlosPeralta_UK]

Are you using a gopro mouth mount? Your GoPro shots are better than other KZbinrs well done . I like the angle you use for the footage in the water

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey mate! Thank you and yeah, just a GoPro mouth mount!

[@tubbyrainbow111]

Deadly video mate! Are there spots good for longboarders there?

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah, I mean on small days, you could take a log out at most of the beaches. Otherwise in the corner of Barra Lagoa would be the most suitable :)

[@tubbyrainbow111]

@@DanHarmon123 nice one thanks lad

[@thisismichaeld]

Would you suggest surfing here after October? It says online the best time is April-October :/

[@user-rw7mf4oo1h]

Brazil’s best surfing destination is Ubatuba city in São Paulo state. 😊

[@DanHarmon123]

Hmmm I wondered about that place! Sounds sick, will definitely hit it up next time!

[@martovalvarez6167]

Hey man you think the wave will be decent for carnival ?

[@DanHarmon123]

Hey Martov! I'm not too sure too be honest I've never been to Floripa during carnival... Its pretty consistent though so i'm sure there will be something!

[@axesantexmonero6628]

sorry to say but in the summer , here is very hot, not too much wind. so less waves, but coming the fall and winter then wind blows more frequently you have more waves. butt carnival there is a lots of parties

[@manuMedi11]

Can I travel with you? :D

[@tuskedbeast]

Where are the people?

[@DanHarmon123]

Was just a random arvo session with no one surfing ahha!!

[@Rich-TheCosmicSurferBand]

Im a local hit me up if uou need anything

[@DanHarmon123]
