When Thomas Rittscher built a Hawaiian board in his backyard in 1935, he did not imagine that gliding on the waves would be one of the most practiced sports in Brazil and in the world. "Tábua Santista" tells the story of the first surfboard in Brazil, through a replica of the pioneer board built by three friends from Santos, 80 years after the Rittscher brothers surfed for the first time in Santos, marking the beginning of surfing in the country .
