Leonardo Fioravanti With Kelly Slater And Friends (Fiji, France, El Salvador)

Leo! He isn’t just that little boy from Italy anymore. Nah, the gent’s big time and is getting bigger. Let’s take a look at his last year, just for a sec, then watch it (above this text, obviously). A little over a year ago he broke his back out at Pipeline. But he trooped, and his young rubber mended. Then at 18 years of age, and a CT wildcard, he slayed both Kelly Slater and the defending champ, Mr Adriano de Souza. Shortly after the nauseating nickname, The Italian Stallion–coined by Pottz, or maybe Joey Turps–was born.

And recently, our dear friends at Quik put together this glistening eight minutes, and to top it off threw in K-Slates, Zeke Lau, and Kanoa Igarashi. But really, it’s all about the Italian St–nope not gonna say it. It’s all about out Leo.
