For the sixth and final episode of the Novela das 8 series we take a look at Kauli’s PWA career.
Kauli: ‘Over a two year period, we captured some of my best heats from the PWA World Tour, in sick locations such as Brazil, Cape Verde and of course the ever windy Pozo Izquierdo. There’s even some footage from the world cup in Scotland in 2007, a great place to sail, with real similar waves to where I live in Brazil. I liked it a lot, even though it was freezing! Let’s see how the PWA comes out with their events this year, most are jumping biased in pretty onshore conditions, I would love to have events in Brazil, Cape Verde and Maui back on the tour again.’
Our final question to Kauli has to be whether he actually likes novelas himself. Kauli: ‘I think it’s not a question of liking it, you just get addicted to it! You get curious to see what will happen in the next episode, as I hope you all were with Novela das 8.’

With Novela das 8, we have a premiere of a new player, by Recast Digital. This player intelligently selects from six video qualities from 450kbps to 3000kbps, spanning a range of video resolutions up to 720p HD. In real-time the player detects the available bandwidth and selects the optimal stream for the bandwidth of the user and will dynamically switch versions as needed without interrupting playback. What this means in English is that you should get the best (full screen) quality possible, so you get the best viewing experience. We are very happy to be able to offer this new player here. If you have any feedback on the player, or are experiencing any kind of problems with the playback, please drop us a line on our Facebook page.
