Is this the Year of the Italo?
In an exciting finals day at the 2019 Quik Pro Gold Coast, Italo Ferreira flew past the field and started the season off with a bang on the shores of Duranbah Beach.
"Winning this event at the start of the year is unbelievable. I'm excited to be in the Jeep Leader Jersey again...I've trained a lot in the last three months and I got the win in the first event of the year. Lets do this!"
With an aerial completion rate hovering above 75%, Italo seemed to set the new normal in high-performance competitive surfing throughout the event - culminating in a dramatic last-second win in the final against a surging Kolohe Andino.
Huge congrats to Italo Ferreira on an incredible run of surfing. Next up is Bells, where he will look to continue his run and defend his 2018 title.
