Adriano de Souza walks down the aisle! Filipe and Gabs cheer!
Life is nothing if it ain’t a big roller coaster. One minute you’re on top of the world, sitting on the shoulders of friends and admirers being chaired up a beach. Surfing champ! The next minute, everyone, including all of your friends and admirers, are gazing inland, toward desolate Lemoore, California and Kelly Slater’s perfect little barrels. Alone! And the very next, you are back in front of friends and admirers gazing into the eyes of the one person who’s head will never be turned. Married!
Yes, the hardest working little champ, Adriano de Souza, married his sweetheart yesterday. Her name is Patricia Eicke and she seems lovely. The affair was well attended. Filipe Toledo was there, of course, as was Gabriel Medina and a who’s who of Brazilian celeb. And where are you now ADS haters? Your slings and arrows bounce off a coat of armor made of pure love. And where are you now Kelly Slater? Plotting an over-the-top wedding to Gwen Stefani? A star-studded elopement with Sofia Vergara? Too late! Nothing but nothing can taint this innocent glory.
Parabens!

It wasn’t kelly who stole the show this weekend. Balaram surfing in blizzard conditions won the weekend.
Lulz. Slater’s chick looks like a hungry little boy. ADS’s chick is a woman. Besides, current world champ or former world champ? It’s all about today.
I love that your unwavering support has now transcended into commentating on surfers girlfriends.
I find any many who can date a girl not much older than his own daughter a bit odd.
Congrats Ads! you deserve happiness!
Im sure he will work just as hard in the sack as he does winning world titles
Not much research went into this little piece, did it?
Best man happened to be Tiago Pires, so happens that ADS is well loved beyond his country and contrary to neigh sayers he does make good friends in the WCT. Do you know who’s also another good friend of Tiago? … Fanning.
There you go
Zero research! But also it is not a fun poke. It is news! I love ADS!
and i love Adriano’s haircut.
the end.
I was gonna make a snarky comment about Adriano’s looks and how she could do better (and so could most women, really), but he’s not bad looking! On land, at least. Vai Brasil!
Did Adriano have to stand on a milk crate for the kiss?
Any relation to David Eicke?
You have incorrectly spelled her surname. It’s actually Icky. Also worth noting they have decided to hyphenate their names. From now on they will both be known as Patricia Icky de Souza and Adriano Icky de Souza.
that was just terrible
ye awful. fucking hell mate.
Desired reaction achieved.
two lovely gentlemans and a red-eyed zombie, well why not
I wonder if Kelly snuck in and consummated the marriage on the wedding night before Ads got to enjoy it.
because most young women enjoy 40+ year old bald men.
Add rich famous to the start of that and the attraction really goes up.
It’s called Prima Nocta, and it’s the King’s right. Enjoyment has nothing to do with it.
ADS IS the KING!
id think gabby did before kelly
