From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Otávio, or Zé Otávio, is a Brazilian bodyboarder. He was born in the landlocked state of Minas Gerais. He started to surf in Guarapari, Espírito Santo, and developed his skills as a bodyboarder on the beaches of Niterói, (in the state of Rio de Janeiro). Otávio has continued his career by surfing Brazil's most sought after bodyboarding waves at Itacoatiara beach. He was the first bodyboarder to execute a 720° reverse air spinner caught on tape, which can be seen in the bodyboarding video movie Que! Mutação.
