Profile for Silvana Lima

slima Action Sports Athlete

Bringing the Brazilian passion to every heat she paddles out in, Silvana Lima is one of the fiercest competitors on the WSL World Tour. Currently ranked 12th in the word, since suffering a severe knee injury in 2012 and going through subsequent sponsorship issues she's staged a remarkable comeback. It hasn't been easy for Lima to climb back into competitive form, but by letting her passion guide her, she's now surfing at the level she knows she's capable of. Coming off of a runner-up finish at the recent Los Cabos Open, her small-wave game is dynamic and explosive, and don't be surprised if you catch her hunting for a ramp section. Her aerial game ranks among the best on the women's world tour.
