Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? Pleased with reflection or resigned to the arc having given up on ever changing what is, what has been?
For shame, if acquiescent, and we only have to turn our eyes to two-time world champion, Olympic gold medalist Italo Ferreira to see there is more. To know that each and every one of us can crawl into a cocoon and re-emerge so beautiful as to burn envious eyes.
But do you remember when the plucky Brazilian burst onto our horizon not even very long ago, when Kelly Slater was still an old man?
Oh he surfed phenomenally but looked… unassuming, workmanlike, plumber-esque like he didn’t care about facade only about packing ridiculous tubes, sticking ridiculous airs. A pleasure to behold, no doubt, but Ferreira has decided to double down upon that pleasure by making teeth gleam, making hair shimmer, making pecs and abs and buttocks explode.
Have you not visited his Instagram account?
For shame, for it smolders and should serve as hot coals upon your own head.
If Ferreira can transform from caterpillar to butterfly can’t you?
Shouldn’t you?
Ridiculous tubes, airs, are out of the question, in all honesty. Being really, really, really ridiculously good looking still in the cards.

His hair keeps getting into my eyes still! Definitely bronze medal turds.🤩
Just losing the bleached hairdo helped Italo to no end I imagine
Yawn
The fact that a dyed blond haired or Terribly Trendy Terrence Trent Darby Doppelgänger Italo has stopped , along with Gabriel , Felipe and John John ( with his eternal SHAGGY FROM SCOOBY DOO look ) , SMELLY SKATER from even getting a sniff at World Title number 12 , validates their Colorful Coiffure Concoctions and creates a mockery of the chrome dome Cro Magnon ?
Hair Hair !
Yeah Yeah !
Please note that I have only a few more square centimeters of hair than old Billy goat gruff .
I love your list of 80s super stars literally . Great surfers , good blokes though slightly mad . My kind .
But Curren was too choofed to care .
Occy was very much a fashionista , returning from overseas with red tights a new wave haircut and pointy patent leather shoes around 85 and Pottz could have made dreadlocks from the fur on his back .
Pottz did make dreadlocks from the hair on his back.
Ha ha
Hahahahahahahaha…
I would like to control the South American market on gold Jebus necklaces. Must be money money.
You could start your own beautification by getting a nose job Chas.
It appears that you’ve taken a few clouts over the years the way it smears to the left.
P.S.
If ya BG income isn’t enough to fund it and ya wife doesn’t wanna pay, you could go to a boxing gym and ask the trainer to give a right cross to ya shnozz and straighten it that way…
Beef & Beer & Rhinoplasty.
That dig at Kelly was awkward and out of place. I loved it.
Keep dreaming caterpillar.
Just f surf!
But what to do inbetween surfs and when its flat?
It’s all about one woman, Jazz.
One woman.
And plus, Italo is a great fan of Lewis Hamilton, as sportsman and like role model outside sport. It’s visible that inspiration, inclunding clips in social media.
The pound called. They want their turds back.
