"May God protect you so that no evil shall come upon you or partial judge hinder your shine!"
The Brazilian Italo Ferreira, world champ in 2019, has launched a stinging fusillade across the bow of Australian Jack Robinson ahead of their much-anticipated Finals Day clash at Cloudbreak in a couple of weeks.
Italo Ferreira, just-married and a daddy-to-be, has had a wild ol time trying to nail a second world title: he was runner-up in 2022 and 2024 and finished third in 2021.
Twice he’s matched-up with Hot Rodent Man Jack Robinson on Finals Day, easily winning both, although Jackie gave him hell last year in a paddle battle where Italo claimed the Australian rowed over the top of him.
Thus, to perhaps circumvent the same thing happening again, Ferreira has posted a rant about ethics on his @if15sports account with vision of the 2024 encounter with Jackie.

What’s the concept of fair play in sport?
Whats the limit to the competitor?
Respect, Ethics, Integrity, Equality and Sportsmanship.
The healthy competition: fair play, on and off the stage, in the arena.
In addition to following rules, you can expect from the competitor respect, loyalty and honesty – above all in their conduct.
Provoking conflict, generating contradiction, and disharmony can leave room for subjective interpretations and vague decisions about compliance with rules.
We’ve reached yet another — now the last — Finals Five, where the spirit of equality should prevail, promoting balanced opportunities, whatever nationality, flag or belief.
The game is on!
Fair play is expected !!
May God bless and protect us in the last chapter of this journey!
Comments were as expected.
May God protect you so that no evil shall come upon you and no dishonest adversary or partial judge can hinder your shine! Go for it champ! We are with you!!!
Worst concept of fair play comes from the WSL !
By giving weird grades to some athletes.
But that only happens because athletes allow it.
I guarantee that if the athletes who feel harmed turn against the entity, many people will stop watching the events and they will rethink.
I’m really worried about these FINALS, They managed to put 2 sweethearts, and they will do everything to make them champion
Tears before the game starts! A new first!

Out of the 5 total dicks surfing in the final I hope Jordy wins. At least he has a sense of humor while being a dick.
Stay strong, Jack . Italo believes the Holy Bible’s demigod is with him .
During last years Final 5 Italo kept winning heats he lost, so the WSL could maintain it’s Brazilian audience through the comp. Shame WSL! Let’s pray that if any Brazzo wins it this year, it’s Yago.
well lets hope jack makes it to the final and gets yago on interference on the first wave, that should be fun to listen to
Robbo does his thing swipes aside IF and on the momentum storms to the title. That’s what is going to happen 🏆🇦🇺
A little known fact. The name “Ferreiro” is derived from the Latin term ‘ingens majora’
Which astonishingly, translates in English to ‘large whinging cunt’
Unbelievable..
yeas unbelievable….bit like an economic update from DT…….actually Ferreiro in Latin….blacksmith/iron worker……when will the gritters stop whining about…..whiners?
MC, How dare you!
After painstakingly scrolling though ancient texts, quiet literally blowing biblical dust from artifactual time stamped documentation, to bring, the grit, this discovery.. you insult me with such blasphemy!
Agree to disagree
haha, yes how dare I do a search on AI…..2 mins of research and yes let the Truth get in the way….LOL….
Helloooo anyone there ? Kid attacked at Tathra…board minced
kid has scratch…cull cull etc
The WSL needs us here in the comments far more than we need them. And they know this.
Robbo is going to Jedi-mind game his way to the title. Nobody has his head space.
Premature tearjaculation
surfing competition should begin with a paddle battle.
The horn blows and the competitors have to paddle to the lineup whether from a buoy, a boat or a start line on the beach.
winner gets priority.
Nah, I reckon priority at the start of the heat should be decided Raglan style – a dick measuring comp in the beach dunnies.
Wasn’t that what they laid-out for the Olympics, but nobody did it?
dunno. only thing remember from Olympic surfing is Medina’s flying kickout.

Cry is Pre
Pre-Cry.
Is it true that you can’t get upset from Pre-Cry?
🤣
Italo has taken the Kamala Harris word salad playbook into battle… Good luck champ!
as opposed to the senile salad of DT…….is Alska Russian?
Italos post makes total sense
..after 10 red bulls and a gram of high quality marching powder.
Surely the WSL can’t allow athletes to have opinions like this and share them on the socials? Where are the sanctions? This is an outrage. Something has to be done.
For every tear a Brazilian sheds an angel gets its wings
