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 to earn it the nickname 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. It is one of Jaconé's best-kept treasures, ridden by a small circle of locals and visiting professionals rather than a public crowd.

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