Here’s why the best surfers in the world called Italo the best surfer of 2018.

Arguably the most exciting surfer of Brazil’s top three talents is Italo Ferriera. This upcoming CT season, Brazil will bring a new wave of drama to the tour. It will have nothing to do with the World Title and everything to do with the fact that three of the top four surfers in 2018 hail from Brazil. And, the fact that the top two ranked surfers on the CT will receive the Olympic Bids for their country. The tension between two-time World Champ and GQ Brasil sex-pot, Gabby Medina; world number three and small wave assassin, Filipe Toledo, and the man featured in the above edit will be palpable.

2019 is the biggest year in surfing for Brazil, and that’ll show through their top three surfers teeth dripping with each other’s blood. 

Hit play above for the insane talent of Italo.
