Tambaba beach, located on the south shore of Paraíba, will be the stage for the the 4th edition of the “Tambaba Naturist Surf Open”. The event, idealized and organized by the movement Naturists United (NU) will take place on September 10 and 11 in the area designated for practicing naturism.

The sporting event is aimed at naturists who practice surfing and bodyboarding. According to the tournament organizer, Carlos Santiago, the “Tambaba Naturist Surf Open” is the only event of its kind in the country and has contributed to spreading the naturist philosophy.

"Surfing is a sport which represents the spirit of liberty, interaction with and respect for nature", he declared.

The 4th edition of the event is linked to an environmental cause, which consists of involving competitors,  local businesses, those who frequent the beach and tourists to participate in the campaign  "SurfNU Clean Wave".

"We intend with this to alert people to the importance of keeping the beach clean and so contribute to preserving the environment", Carlos Santiago explained.
