Leonardo Fioravanti’s Stab Edit Of The Year: Inspired by the Mid-Year Cut and a Best-Ever Session

Leonardo Fioravanti's SEOTY entry is called The Cut - because not making the WSL’s mid-year cut allowed him to chase waves and reconnect with surfing in a way he hadn’t done since qualifying for the CT in 2016 at the age of 18.
Watch ‘The Cut’ now, and baffle at the quality of both the waves and the surfing.

[@azorelachkar8723]

I would say best video of his category for last 10 years!! Awesome deep tubes!!!

[@kenaone25]

Holy smokes!!! What an edit! It was nice to see him jump on some Arakawa's when the waves got proper

[@daleharrison9357]

That Super Slugg near the end was icing on the cake from all those Spinners... Insane Tube Riding, Hacks, + Punts Leo!!!! Bravo.

@@Andy-eh2kg not sure about his rail game, doesn't get the flow and spring out of turns like those guys. Everything else maybe, Pupo is good in those big lefts

-1 point for using the same song as JJF in maps from home haleiwa/sunset part. That song is so awesome but JJF just did it better because that part is so next level. Otherwise insane edit and surfing by Leo

[@liamslevec]

Every time I hear the song on an edit I just think of the JJF edit

[@CJ_102]

Rookie mistake. I used up all my FAAAARKS! on the first segment.
