Latest News About José Carlos Burle

Here’s the latest I can share about José Carlos Burle based on recent reporting:

• Carlos Burle (Brazilian big-wave surfer, age 58) was involved in a serious incident while surfing Nazaré, Portugal, in December 2025. He was rescued by fellow surfers, transported to a hospital, and later released in good condition while under observation. The incident prompted public updates from Burle’s team confirming he was recovering.[1][3]

• Burle has been active in media outside competition as well, with recent initiatives like Bravamente, a program reportedly launched in late 2025 that pairs extreme sports insights with leadership and personal development discussions, built around Burle’s experiences. This suggests ongoing public-facing activity beyond his surfing rescues.[2]

• Coverage of the event from multiple outlets noted Burle’s prior notable role in Nazaré, including a 2013 incident in which he helped rescue Maya Gabeira, underscoring his longstanding presence in the Nazaré big-wave scene and his reputation within the surfing community.[3]
