The future is Ferreira.
Mere days ago, it was revealed here that 3x World Surf League champion and all-around guy Gabriel Medina had made his birth father, Claudinho, Instagram official. Per the initial report, “Medina, who is twenty-seven, posted two photos of the pair embracing and with both holding three fingers aloft to indicate his three world titles and a short video where father and son dance a touching pas de deux.”
Entirely touching but left out was Claudinho’s surname.
The same, exact, as possessed by superstar Italo Ferreira.
Coincidence?
Is Ferreira the Brazilian Smith?
Or are the two, Gabe and Italo, legendary brothers from different mothers?
David Lee Scales, a new father himself, and I wondered aloud today while also wondering aloud if it is ok to change a child’s name a few weeks after birth.
Best show yet?
Party Pete (RIP?) shall judge.

So Scales had his wean? I bet there was more spew and spittle and muck coming out of him than afterbirth.
He must be shattered, poor thing. All that crying.
I bet his missus and the baby can’t get a wink of sleep.
Could the podcast become even more unlistenable from here on in? I guess some of you will find out.
A DNA test would likely prove inconclusive. The only way to be sure is to test and see if they share Whoop metrics.
In other news, Chas Smith and Jordy Smith are brothers.
I knew it!
That would explain the strange nipple placement and possibly their love of Col Smith’s Crisps and Channel Bottoms ( Newcastle ) and Narrabeen’s Morning Star .
Oooh. I just made an Italo image this morning. Please enjoy.

BEACHGRIT EXCLUSIVE: This Guy’s Name is Like That Other Guy’s Dad’s Name
You know if there’s nothing to write about you can just say that.
Sadly, it’s not even exclusive. Chas, as so often is the case, writing about something we found out about a day before he did. Tomorrow Derek will post a youtube clip that most of us saw yesterday. Yet we are still drawn here.
It is not the newness of the breaking story but the critical analysis by the BG sisterhood that attracts us to this little corner of the web like green flies to shit ?
Can Beachgrit have an exclusive section focussed on general Dad information.
I think it will be very successful.

I was going to say “Dads are-me “ but it sounded somehow representative of the violence inherent in the system not to mention reeking of narcissism?
Solid Holy Grail reference
I have a weakness for this little bit of clarity
