What Do Italo Ferreira, His Dog, and Cristiano Ronaldo Have In Common?

A love for Portugal and a penchant for scoring, perhaps.

Italo Ferreira named his dog “Peniche”.

If you name your loyal, smelly friend after an obscure European settlement then you likely love said obscure European settlement.

And anything Italo loves I want to know about. Why? Because he’s a caffeinated stride above human and a step below god. Have you heard about his daily schedule during the SITD shoot? Here’s a hint: two gym sessions, 3 surfs, beach soccer, and a party with Brazil’s nouveau riche after nightfall.

But the video above showcases more than just Italo. It’s a raw collection of clips from an A+ day at Supertubos — the next CT stop whose waiting period starts tomorrow. Supertubos has seen a stellar winter season, with back-to-back swells being forecasted weeks in advance. Because of this, the lineup has seen an Ocean’s Eleven amount of stardom in one place as CT surfers arrived early to practice in the best conditions the area has to offer. 

The forecast, at least for the first few days, isn’t looking as star-studded. But there is hope for solid size Friday and Saturday which could make for a grand finale. 

For those plotting a (legal) heist of their own, here’s a run-down of Betonline for the Meo Rip Curl Pro Portugal Presented by Corona.
