Viral Video Chronicles Brazilian Surfing Sensation?s Unbelievable Array of Maneuvers

In the surfing world, some individuals make magic on a wave. These athletes are constantly pushing their boundaries in order to put on a great show for their fans. One of those extraordinary individuals is Italo Ferreira. The Brazilian, known for his skillful aerial prowess, won his first Olympic gold medal on his Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The surfing superstar who has close to 3 million followers on Instagram recently took to the social media platform to awe his fans with his latest skill moves.

The high-flying Brazilian

The 29-year-old surfer posted a reel on his Instagram recently that perfectly captures his skill and surfing style. Right at the start of the video, funnily enough, Italo falls into the water head first in a slow-motion effect. He slowly builds his momentum and eventually brought out the big guns. The Brazilian defied the laws of gravity and went on to execute multiple full rotation moves while still suspended in mid-air.

The video captioned “a million….”?has been watched more than 400,000 times since being uploaded on the surfer’s Instagram handle. Italo looked quite happy throughout the video and was approached by a wave of fans for selfies and autographs towards the end of the reel. Precision and creativity are the two strong points of Italo Ferreira. His awesome cut-back maneuver along with his balance on the board made the reel an exhibition of his world-class talent. Despite earning fame and several accolades over his career, the Brazilian had a very humble upbringing.

Italo’s humble surfing background and career journey

Growing up in Brazil, Italo, a fisherman’s son, did not have any access to a surfboard. It was actually one of Italo’s cousin who was more than happy to give his surfboard to the now Olympic gold winner. Back in 2019, in the final round of the World Surf League, Italo defeated fellow Brazilian Gabriel Medina at the Pipe Masters event and became the 2019 WSL champion. Even during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics surfing final, Italo Ferreira ended up breaking his surfboard in the first few minutes. But very graciously and without panicking, the Brazilian took a new board and ended up winning a gold medal in his Olympics debut.
