Sooo Gabriel Medina’s Cousin Is Pretty Friggin’ Tapped

We’d like to say it’s in the blood, but it ain’t. 

Fifteen-year-old Rodrigo Saldanha is Gabriel Medina’s cousin, but only by way of Charlie, who is not Gabby’s actual father. Nevertheless, Rodrigo could probably receive some trickle-down nepotism from his connection to the 2x Champ, if he actually needed it. But as far as we can tell from this clip, Rodrigo’s gonna make it on talent alone.

And if you suffer from air fatigue, we just ask that you stick around for the tub at 1:25.
