Italo Ferreira and Gabriel Medina are freaks of surfing. They surf the way people used to surf in video games, routinely doing things that look like they should be impossible. Progression in surfing has been a juggernaut over the last few years, and they, along with a few others, have been driving the train at breakneck speeds.
As progression ramps up, so too does technology. One drives the other. One of the things that makes progression in surfing so difficult is the lack of a place to practice that’s guaranteed to be consistent, but wave pools have changed all that. Wave pools like PerfectSwell, a wave pool in Boa Vista, Brazil. In the video above, Italo, Gabriel, and more put on a show that only they could put on.
