Olympic surfer Gabriel Medina hospitalised after wipeout; withdraws from 2025 tour

Gabriel Medina! Out!

The dramatic life of the three-time world surf champ Gabriel Medina continues after he was hospitalised following a pretty run of the mill sorta wipeout on a four-foot wave.

The thirty-one-year-old Olympic bronze medallist injured his titty in the crash at a Sao Paulo beach break late last week and, today, went under the knife.

“Last Thursday, in Maresias, I suffered a pectoral injury and this morning I underwent a surgical procedure to begin treating this injury,” Gabriel Medina told his 14 mill followers. “Everything went well and we are already looking at the recovery period and next steps.”

And then the ol bombshell.

“I was preparing and very focused for the 2025 season, but unfortunately I will be out for a while. I will now focus on my recovery to come back stronger!”

John John Florence, who now firms as an almost unbackable favourite for the title, replied: “Heal up quick brother! Many more battles to come!”

Other notables in the replies include BeachGrit’s queen of the below the line crowd, Negatron, and Kelly Slater’s human Viagra pool boy Raimana Van Bastolaer.
