Pedro Barros Joins The Discussion For Best Surfer/Skater In The World

It’s a kick in the gut, really, when someone treats surfing like a casual fling — just a late-life hobby they stumble into — and effortlessly surpasses the stunts you’ve spent your entire life attempting. 

Pedro Barros is a pro skater from Brazil, and if he wanted to win you over, he’d let his nine X-Games medals swing from his neck and drape Olympic silver over his shoulders. But if you’ve got the real chops, you don’t need to wear your wins — skill’s in the blood, not the bling.

Pedro’s got the chops. Recently, he linked up with Miggy Pupo at Boa Vista Village and sunk his teeth into some Perfect Swell tech. The footage speaks for itself: this isn’t just some gimmick for Pedro — he genuinely rips. And if you’re talking about surfer-skater hybrids, he’s got a few names he’d like to drag into the ring: Curren Caples, Ivan Florence, Greyson Fletcher, Shane Borland. Who’s picking up the phone?
