1
00:00:21,939 --> 00:00:23,815
After I became World Champion,
2
00:00:23,815 --> 00:00:26,735
I had fulfilled my biggest dream.
3
00:00:27,611 --> 00:00:29,363
That event changed my life.
4
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:05,440
I already achieved what I wanted
5
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,026
but now it's different.
6
00:01:08,861 --> 00:01:11,572
A second World Title is an ambition.
7
00:01:12,656 --> 00:01:14,157
- Let's go, damn it.
- Come on, damn it.
8
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:17,202
- What the hell, brother?
- Everything good? Ready?
9
00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:22,624
- Ítalo. Can I ask you something?
- Of course.
10
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,043
Man, both of my sons are surfers.
11
00:01:25,043 --> 00:01:27,212
If they knew I was here
taking a photo with you...
12
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:28,463
That's great.
13
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:32,801
What attracts me
the most in competition is the trophy.
14
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,682
Six. You've done it? Six.
15
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:40,517
Six.
16
00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,329
It's something
that turns into an obsession in your life.
17
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,166
Breathe in.
18
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,174
Extend your legs. Six. Lower it slowly.
19
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:15,177
If I have the chance
of being the world champion,
20
00:02:15,177 --> 00:02:17,513
rest assured that I won't let that one go.
21
00:02:38,951 --> 00:02:40,327
I'm going to take these two.
22
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:42,663
I'm going to look at the sea.
23
00:03:00,222 --> 00:03:02,850
- It's still very small?
- Yes, it's still very small.
24
00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:24,162
As soon as the high tide
starts to come in,
25
00:03:24,162 --> 00:03:26,039
it starts to get better.
26
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:47,269
The beginning
of my season hasn't been as I've expected.
27
00:03:48,103 --> 00:03:51,273
It was something that left me frustrated.
28
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:54,818
But it's a very long journey
until the end of the year
29
00:03:54,818 --> 00:03:57,779
when the top five will qualify.
30
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:02,201
I am willing to push myself
to my maximum limit
31
00:04:02,201 --> 00:04:03,911
to be the champion again.
32
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:08,165
Fuck, check it out. Let's go surf.
33
00:04:55,546 --> 00:04:58,173
I think that the desire and the dream
34
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:01,051
to always be the best never ends.
35
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,220
I want to win more.
36
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,057
I want to show myself
that I can repeat what I achieved.
37
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,413
Come on.
38
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:55,559
For sure.
39
00:07:55,559 --> 00:07:57,853
You did really well on the second wave.
40
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:58,413
Go fuck yourself!
41
00:09:01,124 --> 00:09:02,668
Honestly, brother.
42
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:06,630
These judges are assholes.
43
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:43,333
Tell me why the score
was better that wave.
44
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:55,095
It's always the same thing, you know.
45
00:10:01,977 --> 00:10:04,605
How is he better? How? He just turn low.
46
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:06,815
He just turn low and then low again. How?
47
00:10:08,025 --> 00:10:09,526
It's this! You know.
48
00:10:09,526 --> 00:10:11,820
It's this, Australian. Come on.
49
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:22,915
Every time it's the same thing.
50
00:10:53,445 --> 00:10:58,242
The judges, they are used
to watch Ítalo surf in one way.
51
00:10:58,825 --> 00:11:02,621
But when the type of wave is bad,
he cannot do a huge air.
52
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:04,289
He cannot do a huge turn.
53
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:08,210
They are comparing Ítalo to Ítalo.
54
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:10,712
They are not comparing Ítalo
to the other competitors.
55
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:15,777
I didn't know you were dressed already.
56
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,279
Lunch is ready soon.
57
00:12:19,281 --> 00:12:22,534
That moment in Bells
was pretty bad for Ítalo.
58
00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:26,580
Ítalo needs
to understand it's totally bullshit.
59
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:30,459
I don't need to go upstairs again,
because it won't change nothing.
60
00:12:30,459 --> 00:12:34,087
I have to change myself and to adapt.
61
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,839
He puts so much pressure on him.
62
00:12:37,508 --> 00:12:40,969
And not winning a contest
makes more pressure.
63
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:42,888
Are you worried?
64
00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:44,973
Oh, yeah. A lot.
65
00:13:09,373 --> 00:13:13,836
When we're fighting with the heart,
emotions goes up.
66
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:17,714
So I think hitting the locker,
breaking boards
67
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:20,425
is something that nobody needs to do it.
68
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:23,095
This is not a good example,
but sometimes you need a shake.
69
00:13:23,095 --> 00:13:28,475
You know, like, "Hey, you need to
focus on the surfing."
70
00:13:56,170 --> 00:13:58,172
Ítalo, let's take a photo here.
71
00:14:25,157 --> 00:14:30,037
Who would've
ever guessed that a true champion
72
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:32,039
would ever come
from the Northern Brazilian coast.
73
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:35,667
A first class surfer.
74
00:14:43,425 --> 00:14:44,927
When I look back,
75
00:14:44,927 --> 00:14:46,970
it makes my heart full.
76
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:58,357
It was a Championship that felt natural.
77
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:02,903
I was happy and it just flowed...
78
00:15:05,364 --> 00:15:07,533
without pressure to win.
79
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,828
It's like I have to go back
in time to find
80
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,540
that 2019 Ítalo Ferreira.
81
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:21,880
This is going to my grandmother.
82
00:15:22,714 --> 00:15:26,635
She once told me to do it. So I did.
83
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,694
Fuck, that gave me goose bumps.
84
00:15:51,326 --> 00:15:54,079
I had the
opportunity of being the world champion.
85
00:15:55,831 --> 00:15:58,292
But when you reach those goals,
86
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:02,880
any other results leave you unsatisfied.
87
00:16:04,715 --> 00:16:07,551
Now I am fighting to stay at the top.
88
00:18:36,992 --> 00:18:38,619
- Nine points.
- Yeah.
89
00:19:10,025 --> 00:19:12,903
I have to be happy,
because I managed to perform.
90
00:19:12,903 --> 00:19:15,364
Things happened naturally.
91
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:28,877
When he's feeling happy,
he will win against anyone.
92
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:30,254
He just proved that.
93
00:21:54,648 --> 00:21:57,484
Kanoa is doing very well, very strong.
94
00:21:58,068 --> 00:22:00,362
He can do anything in any wave condition.
95
00:22:00,946 --> 00:22:03,740
But I can't let any opponent
be comfortable
96
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:05,659
when they get in the water with me.
97
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:07,953
Not at any moment.
98
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:23,195
Oh, Jesus, my Lord.
99
00:23:57,646 --> 00:23:58,689
Fuck.
100
00:24:26,216 --> 00:24:30,679
He said the medication is already working
101
00:24:30,679 --> 00:24:35,142
because your vital signs and heart
are going down, okay?
102
00:24:35,684 --> 00:24:38,145
Would you like some water, anything?
103
00:24:38,145 --> 00:24:39,229
No?
104
00:24:39,897 --> 00:24:41,064
You fucking rock.
105
00:25:20,604 --> 00:25:23,649
It was a very
strong pain, that I've never had before.
106
00:25:24,608 --> 00:25:28,195
So, you always think about the worst.
107
00:25:28,195 --> 00:25:31,907
In the end I am having to pay the price
108
00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:37,329
because I always push myself
to the maximum limit.
109
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:42,626
{\an8}He fell off on the second wave, I think,
110
00:25:42,626 --> 00:25:44,795
and he injured his back.
111
00:25:44,795 --> 00:25:49,216
I think it got more swollen and painful
because he couldn't move.
112
00:25:51,635 --> 00:25:54,763
I'm trying now to get him
all possible tests
113
00:25:54,763 --> 00:25:56,390
so we can have a diagnosis.
114
00:25:58,851 --> 00:26:01,353
Now it's in God's hands.
115
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:45,022
Have you been out on the boat yet?
116
00:27:53,048 --> 00:27:55,467
{\an8}This is a forecast
of a storm that is forming.
117
00:27:55,467 --> 00:27:58,762
{\an8}Some locals already tell us
this could be in the 10 foot range.
118
00:29:06,121 --> 00:29:08,624
Fuck, there it's heavy.
119
00:29:17,257 --> 00:29:19,051
2019.
120
00:29:19,051 --> 00:29:21,970
I think it was one of the highest seas
I have ever surfed in.
121
00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:24,097
I think it was 8 to 10 feet.
122
00:29:24,097 --> 00:29:26,517
Yeah, it was quite big.
123
00:29:26,517 --> 00:29:27,601
I was scared.
124
00:29:28,602 --> 00:29:31,522
But you get scared when it's too big.
It's dangerous.
125
00:29:35,067 --> 00:29:37,194
I can't move my arm.
126
00:29:37,986 --> 00:29:40,906
Going to Tahiti, I was kind of worried
127
00:29:40,906 --> 00:29:43,116
because injuries in the back have to heal.
128
00:29:43,617 --> 00:29:45,911
You have to stop surfing.
129
00:29:46,411 --> 00:29:49,873
But he needs to compete to keep
in that final five
130
00:29:49,873 --> 00:29:51,750
and qualify for the finals.
131
00:29:52,793 --> 00:29:54,670
When he has something in mind,
he just goes for it.
132
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:56,046
He doesn't care about the pain.
133
00:29:58,715 --> 00:30:00,843
Holy Mary, Holy Jesus.
134
00:30:03,637 --> 00:30:04,888
What's up, boss?
135
00:30:11,687 --> 00:30:16,275
Yeah. My doctor says I have, like,
three more weeks, like, feel this pain,
136
00:30:16,275 --> 00:30:18,402
but try to ignore that thing, you know.
137
00:30:18,402 --> 00:30:20,028
Like, not thinking about it,
138
00:30:20,028 --> 00:30:22,990
and then just surf. But after surf--
After a session,
139
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:25,784
I feel like so painful here.
140
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:32,207
When I have
an injury, I try to ignore the pain.
141
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:35,002
I try not to think about
what could jeopardize me.
142
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:37,921
Yes, I demand a lot from myself.
143
00:30:38,755 --> 00:30:40,716
This makes me have discipline.
144
00:30:43,302 --> 00:30:45,804
In these moments,
I end up overcoming myself.
145
00:30:46,805 --> 00:30:50,100
Regardless of the situation,
I still have strength to continue.
146
00:31:47,658 --> 00:31:50,661
I always have to
be surfing on the highest level
147
00:31:50,661 --> 00:31:53,372
regardless if I'm injured or not.
148
00:31:53,372 --> 00:31:57,668
Because the guy who is competing
against me won't feel sorry for me.
149
00:31:57,668 --> 00:32:00,504
So I can't show myself as weak.
150
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:50,215
Of course people expect me to win,
151
00:34:50,215 --> 00:34:51,466
after everything that happened.
152
00:34:52,134 --> 00:34:54,678
There is a demand, there is that pressure.
153
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:59,057
But the numbers in the end,
that's what matters.
154
00:34:59,057 --> 00:35:01,602
You getting points to qualify.
155
00:35:03,145 --> 00:35:06,315
I need a miracle to be in the final.
156
00:36:35,863 --> 00:36:39,157
This looked like
the end of my journey after a tough year.
157
00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:43,829
When I lost the heat to Jadson,
I left it in God's hands.
158
00:37:25,245 --> 00:37:27,998
Fuck, that was crazy, huh? The last wave.
159
00:37:27,998 --> 00:37:31,502
That last wave, it was, like,
more than perfect.
160
00:37:35,797 --> 00:37:39,551
But hey, hold on.
I think it sucks Griffin didn't make it,
161
00:37:39,551 --> 00:37:40,969
but congratulations, Ítalo.
162
00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:48,393
Thanks. Crazy year.
163
00:37:51,563 --> 00:37:53,524
Thank God I will have the chance
164
00:37:53,524 --> 00:37:58,320
to compete in the final against
the five top surfers of the year
165
00:37:58,987 --> 00:38:01,240
and have the chance to win a World Title.
166
00:38:29,101 --> 00:38:31,019
When I get to the finals...
167
00:38:33,564 --> 00:38:35,899
I can show who I really am.
