Peel back the curtain on your world surfing champion…
In May, 2019, inside a Margaret River apartment complex best described as “early correctional facility” (cubist cells, tiled floors, small aluminium windows overlooking a central courtyard), the then world number three Italo Ferreira, twenty-five, submitted to a series of questions by a man holding an iPhone.
Later in the interview, which included discussion about existence, narcotics, death and the very existence of the phenomenon called BeachGrit, Italo’s girlfriend Mari Azevedo provided additional commentary.
Directed and edited by Jack Boston, filmed, poorly, by Derek Rielly.
Four beautiful minutes with world surfing champion Italo Ferreira

Stay gold, Italo. Stay gold!
DH: “I’ll handle my own fire protection systems, like I handle my jetski!”
Many a shark in the board building trade these days…
Hahaha I like the comedic shit talk between punters on here as much as most, though the guys who run it claim to be in the surf media business (which we all know is bollocks, but they do insist on pretending that is their trade)
Can someone provide the link to the Italo profile that Dez did on him @ Margies?
Your wish etc. https://beachgrit.com/2019/…
This was put up 8 hrs ago.
DHD burnt down 10 hrs ago.
A bit of actual industry journalism would be more appreciated than this 8 month old (pretty lame) interview thanks lads….
Just climbed out of a Boxing Day coma that very second. Quite the fire, yes.
Fair enough
I blame the WSL.
DHD?… Who Cares?
DH ?
DH?… Who Cares?…
His mum ?
Darren’s mother?… who Cares?…
Fellow former Kirra Turkey Farmers ….. like Dog … perhaps ?
Ya don’t have to care at all.
But it’s actual news.
An old lame interview is not news, not even entertaining, a pack of shit really.
A Christmas fire at a huge and hugely well-known factory is far more interesting and deserves prompt coverage (if ya care or not)
I don’t suppose they will call their new summer fun board the Jew(f)ish …….. Stocktake ?
Jokes aside , I am very sorry for those currently employed at the factory .
Actual news?… this sanctuary we call home aka beachgrit is not Al Jazeera. Get out of the bubble mate, it’s surfing – there is no such thing as actual news.
Yes it was actual news, that BG could’ve broken hours before the rest and claim some journalistic bragging rights over their opposition as well as being known for the usual lighthearted tomfoolery.
To not expand and pop the bubble is shortsighted in my opinion, mate.
I’m quite aware it’s not Al Jazeera but apart from the comments (which is the main drawcard to a majority of the punters here) and Chas’ shark stories it’d help if it wasn’t purely Mad Magazine though.
I think you’re asking too much… change the channel unless you want to pay the boys to get up early and “break the internet” with a headlining story of a factory burning down.
Pretty sure we already pay with all the pop-up advertising on here
Errr no, we don’t.
I think he should give drugs a chance.
Just be careful round the opioids eh?
Besides, what about endorphins, adrenaline and the sexynesses? Pretty powerful hits!
He can’t feel his foot when hes with you
But he loves it.
He was so good in My Left Foot
Daniel Day Lewis ?
+1 for BOC.
Olsons a sneaky little piece of gold.
