FRATERNITÉ | Billabong

In November of 2021, after a stint in Europe, surfing’s first Olympic gold medalist Italo Ferreira made good on his promise to visit fellow Billabong team rider Cherif Fall in Dakar, Senegal. Also joined by up-and-coming South African talent Joshe Faulkner, they found a thriving surf community that rivals anywhere in the world. A stretch of coast full of fun surf, deep talent and infectious positive energy. This film explores their experience in West Africa and the eternal bonds these three share as the faces of hope and pride in their respective communities. Created by Wasted Talent Magazine.

[@SurvivalBeast]

[@billabong]

glad ya dig 🤙

[@kathykline7202]

@@billabong What are you hiding, you write a bunch of gibberish in your videos, rambling, are you neurologically compromised? Glad ya dig ?? WTF is that, not a coherent individual at all. And I am writing this because these are the same nastiness you directed towards me and I just copied it. Weirdo.

[@CHATSW00D]

@@kathykline7202 it’s not nastiness. They’re saying they’re glad you like it, relax lady

[@stukelful]

Flipping amazeballs! well done Billabong and Italo. Those kids rip man!

[@billabong]

glad ya dig 🤙

[@carloscs14]

Cherif Fall, the example of never give up and fight for your dreams!

[@billabong]

Cherif has it dialed

[@seraajregal4663]

That wave with the 3 of them on with Italo popping a bunny hop encapsulates the spirit of this epic edit ! SICK sick clip

[@shinext1832]

The Ngor spot is my favorite in dakar, i grew up there and i miss when i was young and when i just cared about surfing there almost everyday :(

[@stylecv]

The best video ever. I think Italo in his heart, he represents the African continent, because he is all about his roots, an Africa is the root. Well done Italo, Billabong, and the boys are ripping out there at Senegal. Beautifull 🤙🏿💪🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿🇨🇻

[@stylecv]

@Andrew H Yo are talking about Italo the professional surfer. But me I see him more than a professional, and first of all, as a person. And for me as an African, I don't see a better Top Surfer representing the message on this video than Italo. 👍🤙

[@davidbalan6571]

[@THEMRPOOPFISH]

People can talk all the trash about Italo they want. He's a claimer, he's not respectful etc, but I don't see any other surfer doing what he does, especially to help out those in need.

[@SurfSkateDX]
