The thing about Aires is that, if you don't see him everyday at the beach, he can only be sick or something happened. Born and raised, literally overlooking the Milícias beach, Aires is the "most" local guy here. A warm hearted guy, that the hardship of life can be seen in the lines of his face, always smiling and with good energies, the person you wanna see and talk to everyday. Locals call him "the Sheriff", because of his relentless fight against people that don't respect the beach, the line-up and the community. Definitely someone you want to have as a friend.
