On January 10th, while enjoying an afternoon of kitesurfing in São Luís, Bruno became the unlikely hero of a young woman who was drowning.
According to his Instagram account, Bruno was testing a new 360° kit when he heard a cry for help. Without hesitation, he approached the girl, calmed her down, and brought her to shore with his kite. A true example of solidarity and courage! It's very important to warn the victim that they can't touch the bar.
