Watch: Italo Ferreira Leaps Like A Grain Of Fried Rice
Somewhere in Africa!
His combination of quick-twitch muscles and an insatiable appetite for flight make Italo Ferreira one of the fastest, most exciting surfers in the world today.
Having grown bored with going all Bobby Martinez on his hometown right, Italo – who if you’ll recall was the winner of our 2018 Stab Surfer of the Year – trekked all the way to Africa in pursuit of a chest-high left. Here he was able to practice his forehand snap – which is square but effective – and when the wind went devil, his patented frontside punts.
Italo’s surfing may not carry the grace of a Parko or Fanning, but he makes up for it with sheer excitement and spontaneity. There are few more enthralling to watch surf in this modern era.
