The Billabong Girls Pro ASP World Championship Tour event in Brazil will run from August 21st-28th, 2006.
Itacaré is located in the cocoa zone of northern Brazil in the state of Bahia, south of Salvador, 70 km north of Ilhéus and approximately a 1.5-hour flight from Sao Paulo. It is in Itacaré that the Contas River, which comes from the Chapada Diamantina, meets the ocean.
August is still winter in Bahia, with plenty of rain but temperatures around 19 and 24 C (66 to 75 Fahrenheit).
Surfing is the fifth largest sport in Brazil and in the winter months, Itacaré becomes an authentic surf city attracting surfers from all over Brazil.
The city has a lot of cheap restaurants and bars serving many kinds of drinks and excellent food.
As always, if you can't be there in person, you can enjoy
live webcasts each day of the event featuring various camera angles, highlights and replays, weather and scoring information, direct viewer interaction, celebrity guests, interviews and more.
