Ricardo Martins
RM
Ricardo Martins, a native of Rio de Janeiro, was a professional surfer in the 1980s, standing out in several competitive circuits of the era. Obsessed with surfing, he co-founded Hidrojets alongside Joca Secco and Luis Ferreira, a brand that revealed top-level athletes and became one of Rio’s leading surfboard factories. Later, he co-founded Wetworks with Joca Secco and Claudio Hennek, a brand that remains a national reference in Brazil to this day. In pursuit of performance and precision, Ricardo refined his shaping skills by working with elite shapers in Australia, Japan, and Europe. Recognized as one of the best shapers in Latin America, he is sought after by athletes and surfers from around the world. Currently, he leads a team that includes Krystian Kymerson and Pablo Gabriel, whose constant feedback helps refining and enhancing board performance, reflecting his forward-thinking vision, decades of experience, an unwavering pursuit of excellence and a deep passion for surfing. In Europe, RM Surf Designs is supported by Ricardo Lobo, the brand's back shaper, personally trained in Brazil by Ricardo Martins to faithfully reproduce his boards overseas, offering fully personalized service both in person and remotely.

TAX REFUND - TAX FREE SHOPPING

Did you know that if you reside outside the European Union you are entitled to a refund of the VAT (Value Added Tax) paid in our store?

When paying for purchases over 61,50 EUR, ask for a Global Blue Tax Free Form and, on the day of departure, get everything taken care of at the airport.


Tax Free Shopping in 3 steps:

1. Form Issuance: when shopping in our store, you will pay full amount (including VAT) and get a Global Blue Tax-Free Form. Fill out the form with the required information.

2. Customs Validation: at the airport, when leaving the EU, go to the nearest Customs or self- validation Kiosk and present your filled-out Tax Free Form, passport, and original purchase receipts for validation. Goods should be kept unused and available for inspection.

3. VAT Tax Refund: add your payment details online to receive the refund automatically. If you prefer, find a nearby Refund Office displaying the Global Blue star logo, present your validated Tax Free Form and passport, and receive your refund in cash. The refund paid is the VAT value deducted from Global Blue's service fee.
