Brazil's silver surfers take to the waves

23 April 2014 Last updated at 00:15 BST
Fusae Nishida Uramoto is a retired 84-year-old living in the port city of Santos in the south of Brazil.
Each week she joins other pensioners on the beach to take part in their favourite hobby - surfing.
When Brazilian surf 'star' Cisco Arana retired, he set up the school with the aim of using surfing as a tool for social inclusion.
Fusae was one of the school's first pupils.
BBC News went to meet her and some of the other silver surfers of Santos.
