00:00 You're a beast out there. I saw you running past everyone.
00:04 You're a great leader, blessed with a gift.
00:06 You're a superstar.
00:08 Superstar.
00:09 My name is Rafael Leal and we are in Los Angeles, Venice Beach.
00:13 I have to come to see the atmosphere everywhere.
00:17 I can see a skateboard, kids playing around with a ball.
00:22 The beach is amazing, it's big.
00:24 The vibe is different there.
00:27 Do they have a scene like this in Portugal?
00:29 Maybe similar, but it's not the same. It's different.
00:33 I noticed that when you're playing, you're always smiling.
00:37 Out on the field, you've got the biggest smile on your face when you're kicking.
00:40 Where does that smile come from? Because the games are so serious.
00:44 I'm enjoying what I love to do.
00:47 That's why you see a smile on my face.
00:49 Because off court, when I lose, I'm not happy.
00:52 But I'm happy to enjoy every single minute here.
00:55 Talk about the philosophy of surfing.
00:58 I think it's a mindset, like a surfer.
01:00 When you get the wave, sometimes you fall out.
01:03 So, to take the good wave and try again.
01:06 Because life is like this.
01:08 Sometimes you do well, sometimes you don't.
01:10 So, the mindset is to keep going and never give up.
01:12 Inspire people to be better versions of themselves.
01:15 And really enjoy.
01:17 Cool, man.
01:18 My name is Antonio.
01:20 I am from Venice.
01:22 We have a football club called Venice Beach Football Club.
01:24 Our job is serving the community, coaching little kids to play football.
01:28 This is a paradise called Breakwater, where we surf.
01:31 Nice.
01:32 And this one is a 7'5" plancha surfboard.
01:36 We made it custom for you.
01:38 Okay.

01:40 For a very special player from Milan.
01:43 Let's see.
01:44 Wow.
01:45 In the Breakwater of Venice Beach.
01:46 What do you think?
01:47 No, Tom.
01:48 Really nice.
01:49 Thank you so much.
01:51 Venice Pier is a good place to learn surfing.
01:54 Big, big wave.
01:55 Next time you go, I'm going to go surfing.
01:58 It will be great.
02:00 Check out the wave right now.
02:02 Look.
02:03 Boom.
02:04 Paradise. Venice Beach, California.
02:09 You are amazing.
02:16 I showed some kids some of your music.
02:18 I'm not kidding.
02:19 Leo Stunna in the house.
02:20 I'm talking about my life, sacrifice, process.
02:23 I feel like we have similar stories.
02:25 That's a great way to show the world through your music.
02:27 I wrote something basically around you.
02:29 You're very inspiring.
02:30 Bless you.
02:31 We spent a long period of time creating just for this moment.
02:36 [Music]
03:02 Hey, I'll tell you.
03:04 It's all about inspiring the youth.
03:06 Showing these kids what it takes to be a great man, to be in greatness.
03:12 Mr. Ronaldo.
03:13 Ronaldo, of course.
03:15 Who is the toughest opponent you've ever gone against?
03:18 Do you know Tiago Silva?
03:20 Yeah, I do.
03:21 I know Tiago Silva.
03:22 I've heard that.
03:23 How old are you?
03:24 24.
03:25 How old are you?
03:26 I'm 8.
03:27 What?
03:28 Who scored goals?
03:29 I know everybody in your team.
03:30 Not everybody.
03:31 Who scored goals?
03:32 He's one of the best in Portugal.
03:34 No, he isn't the best.
03:36 If I had to pick, Messi or you.
03:38 [Laughter]
03:40 Are you sure?
03:41 I don't know.
03:43 Are you going to play?
03:44 Ask your coach.
03:45 I don't know.
03:46 He said yes.
03:47 Let's play then.
03:48 [Music]
03:52 Venice Club Beach is good because a lot of kids, they can show their talents.
03:56 Maybe at the clubs of LA, you can see.
04:00 So, it's an opportunity for the kids.
04:03 [Music]
04:11 I can see the different types of philosophy and I think it's always a good idea to come here and visit.
04:17 [Music]
04:21 It's inspiring to see everyone playing.
04:24 They are everything for me.
04:27 They're my strength.
04:29 (upbeat music)
