Ítalo is renowned as one of the sport's great entertainers and retains a deep connection to his home town in Brazil. In his first pro year, Ferreira remembers competing against the very idols he grew up inspired by, but he also managed to best them.
Surfing made its debut at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and with it, a new challenge dawned for Ferreira, including a broken board in the final.
