But the worst was yet to come. As soon as he managed to resurface, the rest of the set came immediately after — a sequence of massive waves that leave no time to breathe, let alone regain control. Each wave that rolled through made the rescue more difficult and the distress of everyone watching even greater.

The support team immediately jumped into action, led by Lucas Chumbo on the jet ski. When he finally managed to grab Carlos Burle, he lost control of the watercraft and both fell into the water. The rescue seemed increasingly out of reach, but the skill of the experienced Lucas Chumbo was decisive, focusing all his efforts on keeping Carlos upright with his head above water. The rescue was completed by Willyam Santana, who, with great courage, managed to grab both surfers and bring them safely to the beach.

Burle was conscious but completely exhausted, trying to catch his breath. He received immediate assistance and, after hospital observation, was released unharmed — and we imagine very grateful that it had only been a major scare.

Once calmer, he sent a message reassuring everyone and thanking them for their support and kindness. And we all breathed a sigh of relief.
