brazil surfing is on top right now... and so is skateboarding... sorry usa, sorry australia, but brazil has always and will always produce the most talented athletes there is even thought the people there have less financial resources which makes it even more remarkable.

ISYS Theories - 8 years ago

lol, two world titles for surfing?So tell me how they're on top? Last time i checked John john is on track to win a world title. And you guys dominate one area of skateboarding...

Let's just be stoked for this kid imagine the pressure at 20 years old most of us would crack under the pressure. Believing in God or Jah, Yahweh whatever you want to call the higher power if it works for him then let him use it don't be jealous rejoice in the fact that finally somebody besides Slater is in the limelight

Dear: You - 9 years ago

Man,,, What a year this kid had.. insane!
and Shutting up all the haters. You gotta respect it :)

weird too because pupo seems like one of THEE chillest guys and he's apparently his best friend

Onechill Braj - 9 years ago

9:48 bullshit "almost touching" ...full on hit the guy. maybe nothing happened (maybe it did and he's lying) but the guy getting skegged and needing stitches is super likely when doing something like that. i don't drive my car into ppl then say ..."well nothing happened this time so its ok". oh well. medina rips but he does seem like a prick...even from other things not just this.

I'm Australian, I support Fillepe Toledo and this comment is racist.

Gabriel is amazing and desevers everything he's got no one should put him down

yassir ben - 9 years ago

Fucking yank/aussis haters. they always want to be on the top no matter what. Go Gabriel!!!

Luke Stevenson - 7 years ago

Yassir Ben says fuck haters, then go Gabriel. Why make it a national thing you fuckwit? Surfing is an individual sport. Brazillian nationals have won 2 years. I'm Australian. I say go John John, go Mick Fanning, go Jordy Smith, go Filepe Toledo and always go Dane Reynolds. Fuckk off you brazo racist/nationalist pieces of shit. Learn about sportsmanship.

ISYS Theories - 8 years ago

get fucked, you brazzoes write a fucking paragraph any time your stupid country loses. If only you put as much effort into forming a stable government as you did into making sure everyone knows you're butthurt

markriobr - 9 years ago

+yassir ben Forgot to mention. They stayed on top because an ET was born there. If not would be just the three from Tom and the half from C J . Americans are a bunch of lousy surfers and human beings....Kelly aside

markriobr - 9 years ago

+yassir ben Pretty sure over 90% of the haters are from the USA...Aussies are cool people , believe me ,,,been there few times and have no doubts . And no matter what plenty of world champions will come from there. Now USA is done , without Kelly they will be just the pea on the salad .

ted william - 9 years ago

the kid was born with the neptune/poseidon/lopez/curren/slater wave and ocean synchronization app. he's a natural.

markriobr - 9 years ago

+ted william You are so right. Nobody can teach that you are born with it .

god comes before family....that is the problem with religion. Good for Medina, though. He's a bit cocky, it seems, but I wish him all the best !
