For the first time a Brazilian surfer has won the world title.
Gabriel is like a brother to me.
The win transforms Gabriel Medina
into a Brazilian sporting hero.
Thank you, Lord!
I do this because you're on the tour.
I try to do my best every day.
My name is Gabriel Medina.
I'm 13 years old
and I live here in Maresias.
I'm gonna have a beer.
Today I'm allowed to.
Do you want to come over here?
You go ahead.
But congratulations to you.
Good news!
So this morning,
me and Yasmin got married.
Every Brazilian girl's heart just broke.
Except for one.
A few days ago, in Waikiki.
It's like
just another victory
that we will remember forever.
Gabriel Medina's marriage to model Yasmin Brunet
has reportedly caused a falling out with his mum and stepdad.
Thanks.
You can't talk about women as we have microphones on.
I can because I owe nothing to no one.
My name is Ítalo Ferreira
I am 26 years old.
My favorite part of competing?
It's trying to be the best surfer in those 30 minutes.
I feel good when I go really early.
I can say my prayers.
Shall I film from here?
From the top.
I live in Baía Formosa, in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
It's a small town. Around 9,000 people.
My dad sold fish to restaurants.
I started surfing on the polystyrene cover
of the box my father used to keep his fish in.
Then I started to compete regionally, in Northern Brazil.
I started to win motorbikes and airline tickets,
and I realised that the harder I worked
the more prizes and money I could earn to help back home.
What are you going to cook with the couscous?
Eggs.
Have we only got eggs?
We have sausages too.
But sausages take longer.
Do it with eggs only then.
I'm traveling with Marcos, who is my childhood friend.
He's the guy who does everything.
He drives, he cooks.
He takes care of my financial life, my personal life.
Does he show his appreciation for the work you do?
Damn, I haven't even logged onto Instagram yet.
Gonna check it now.
There's only women on my timeline.
Women, women!
I think we've been here before.
Gorgeous, believe in it.
You're on the right way, I'm sure.
Do you think they can hear us?
Holy Mary.
Gorgeous, I think we've arrived.
I try to catch as many waves as possible.
The more waves I catch, the more waves I break.
I will improve all my scores during the heat,
leaving my opponent suffocated.
I had one of my sponsors ask me,
"And now that you have been a world champion, what do you want?"
I didn't think twice.
I said, "I want to continue. I want to win more."
The knot has broken.
My leg was hurting.
I was almost getting a tube on the left side!
And then I fell back like this.
Well done, kid.
Right on bro, thank you.
I know how to surf.
I dedicated my life to it,
so I just have to enter the heat and do what I know.
Thanks, Kingy.
Just-- It wasn't high, like--
I like what you were doing.
If you'd stuck one of those that was deep in the water,
-you would have just… -Yeah.
Fuck.
Congratulations!
Thank God.
Ítalo!
Well done, man.
Congratulations!
Damn, congratulations!
Hugs!
Thanks.
What a maneuver, man!
Wow!
I've started the year well.
There's a long road ahead, good challenges.
But I feel prepared.
It's not that I know where the path is,
but I have a light to get there
and catch that dream again,
to be world champion.
We'll watch it a couple of times, and then it's decision time.
No. No. No.
It's harsh, but it's the top level of sport,
and it's just not enough ride out.
Did I overturn the score?
Bitch!
It's infuriating.
When the opponent wins because he was really good,
I'm like, "Okay, next time."
But when you do your best and lose
and miss out on the opportunity
to win again,
that makes me very angry.
You know what I think you should do?
What?
Just have fun.
Surf for fun.
Like when you are free surfing.
I want water. I'm thirsty.
It's here.
Thank you.
