Osklen Surfing

Rio de Janeiro


The famous Brazilian beachwear brand sells its well-made board shorts, T-shirts, sungas (Speedo-sized male swimsuits) and a few bikinis from this attractive store in Arpoador. You can even buy a very beautiful Kronig design surfboard here, if you have a spare R$1700.
