Good call, Kath. The people he meets, and the warm welcome he receives speaks volumes about the man he is. A man who enjoys life, in every possible way.
"I'm glad for the invitation as an alternate to the Red Bull Jaws . I just hope to be the alternate # 1 since I have been charging the spot since 2007, and everybody else just showed up late last year." Marcio Freire

"I will personally give up my spot if Marcio Freire is first alternate and doesn't get in otherwise. He and a few of his friends like yuri and danillo are the reason we are all out there paddling these days. He's been doing it for 5 years now no vest no cameras just straight up stoke and charging. I've had a few great waves out there but nothing compared to his commitment."

"Marcio Freire is the reason anybody is paddling into Jaws today. He was one of the first mad dogs charging along with Yuri Soledade and Danilo Couto just for the love of it. I remember 4 years ago on Christmas day, there must have been at least 20 tow teams out. Marcio was the only paddler. No floatation, no Rescue Ski. Just determination and Balls bigger than anybody els. I really hope he gets in. Thanks Marcio for encouraging and changing the sport forever!" Matt Meola
