After the success of the inaugural season in 2023, where six stages attracted the attention of fans and the media, the Dream Tour returns even more powerful. Consolidating itself as the main showcase for Brazilian surfing talent, the tournament saw the rise of names such as champion Tainá Hinckel, who not only won the national title, but also secured her place in the 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place in Teahupoo, in Tahiti.

We are very excited about this year” – reveals Luana Cloper, Head of Product at Dream Tour.
With four stages scheduled, the Circuit already has a confirmed location for the first of them: Porto de Galinhas, in Pernambuco.
