Hurry before it is gone!
Thanks to our own dear Twillsy, surf fans everywhere, alongside amateur virologists, can study Italo Ferreira’s gruesome knee injury, just suffered hours ago in the elimination round at the J-Bay Open against Ian Gentil, in great detail.
The World Surf League, increasingly Stalinist, attempted to erase the moment, clipping it entirely from the heat recap, but it has yet to be disappeared from the entire day’s footage, a fact pounced upon by the aforementioned Twillsy.

Haha, his God fucked him and he’s still a believer
Our teachers were appalled, why were the basketball courts now empty and everyone is removing their shoes and fighting on the lawn?
Italo for CEO!
I thought that too. I fucked my ACL and MCL in April and was told last week by the Dr I will never be 100% again, with or without surgery. It’s so demoralising.
First thought out of her mouth…. she could not push through her turns because she didn’t want to initiate her period.
Is that even possible Jen?
Cheers!
Compo.
Pete Mel always talking about something other than the live action.. looked pretty bad, gonna have to leg press a few chics during rehab
Doctor has recommended a minimum 10 hours of Instagram and 14 of looking himself in the mirror prior to Teahoops
I’m no epidemiologist but that looks nasty
yikes, that knee folded like a chocolate lawn chair.
and his legs are like fuckin trees.
10 year injury wildcard!!
Dude is as wiry as an alley cat…could be nothing
If the judges had not made italo surf so hard to get scores this would have never happened.
Any reference to billy jack deserves an up vote.
it did!
on way to hospital now!
at least this “leg” of the tour.
Pretty painful looking the way he bounced off the knee flex. Ouch!
Beloved Twillsy drops the footy.
It’s ironic that the WSL has tried to turn the sport into reality TV series, yet shies away from drama it can’t script.
Shades of “Fanning, back on the sled to re-set”?
Greatest call in surfing history.
