Show notes
The Battler from Baia Formosa and reigning Brazilian world champ, Italo Ferreira, joins the beating heart of the Brazilian Storm, Jadson Andre, LIVE from Narra De Janeiro.
What a story it is. From starting out surfing on his fisherman father's esky lid to dominating Gabriel Medina in a Pipe Master's Showdown to claim his first World Title, Italo is the quintessential done-good battler. A village kid at heart who never forgets his roots and brings his battler kin along for the ride, he's a Core Lord, King Pin, Cone Fiend, Fly Guy, Swellian Spirit Animal of the highest order.
And Jaddy....what more can you say about the man. The battler's battler, world tour surfing's most adored cult hero, born to parents who were 13 and 15 years old respectively, raised in poverty, leaving home on his own for Sao Paulo in his early teens, fighting his way onto the elite tour, beating Slater at his peak to win the Brazilian 'CT event, an aerial innovator who never got the respect he deserved, a decade plus swinging between the World Tour and World Qualifying Series, more grit than a mouthful of broken teeth. What an honour it was. Up the The Giant Killer Andre. Up the Fly Guy Ferreira. Up the Swellians. Hmmmmmmmmad.
