“Bruna” is an inspiring story of humble beginnings for professional surfer Bruna Schmitz who was born and raised in the small fishing community of Matinhos, Brazil. At the age of 9, Bruna discovered a passion for the ocean and surfing, which lead to a future of travel and opportunities beyond the village borders. With these opportunities came difficult sacrifices of leaving family members behind for over a decade to venture out alone and pursue her dreams.
