Laje da Manitiba.

Laje da Manitiba is a shallow rock-slab reef throwing a left barrel along the Manitiba stretch of coast between Vila and Jaconé in Saquarema. The wave starts loosely before standing up over exposed rock and running dry and hollow, a mechanic close enough to Tahiti's famous left that Brazilian surf media and a 2006 Surfline feature both nicknamed it the Brazilian Teahupoo. Local surfer Marcos Monteiro was riding it as early as the 1970s, long before it drew wider attention. Around 2009, big-wave rider Carlos Burle led some of the first jet-ski tow-in sessions here, a method that remains the standard way to catch it once the swell outgrows what a paddler can get into safely. On smaller, more manageable days it has also hosted paddle sessions with WCT-level surfers including Lucas Chumbo, Joao Chianca and Vitor Ferreira. Brazilian surf outlets describe it as one of Jaconé's best-kept treasures, ridden by a small circle of locals and visiting professionals rather than a public crowd. A corroborated GPS position for the reef itself, and its exact swell, wind and tide preferences, are not documented in the sources available.

A wave so shallow it runs dry over the rock, which is why everyone just calls it the Brazilian Teahupoo.
