CT Rankings Update: Italy's first No. 1, Dora and Lindblad ascend the ranks with Rio wins The VIVO Rio Pro Presented by Corona Cero is in the rearview, and the rankings are settled leaving LATAM. Following another blinding performance from the Italian Stallion, Leonardo Fiorvanti, that led to a second-straight Finals appearance, he now sits at World No. 1. This marks the first time an Italian has reached the top of the rankings. Plus, Yago Dora and Sawyer Lindblad's remarkable Rio wins send them soaring up the rankings as Dora now sits at World No. 3 alongside Lindblad. The Brazilian Storm is weighing down, occupying No. 2 through No. 6 with two of Dora's fellow Brazilian World Champions ready to pounce in the Pacific. The Hawaiian duo of Gabriela Bryan and Carissa Moore hold down the No. 1 and No. 2 for the women, but reigning World Champion Molly Picklum is ready for more of Teahupo'o along with Brazil's Luana Silva sitting at No. 4 to round out the Top 5.

Kanoa's El Salvador Gold | JS SURFBOARDS Kanoa riding some of his favourite boards of the year so far - all variations of the Golden Child across El Salvador. Parko's DNA in this model looks to be the perfect fit on the rippable walls at Punta Roca and surrounds. The Golden Child is based on the original file from 2009, but with cutting edge influence from today on the deck roll and rails. It’s ridden approximately 1-2 inches longer than your regular everyday shortboard, and either the same width or 1/8” narrower. Overall, it has a flatter vee deck compared to the dome deck of our more modern good wave boards like the Schooner or FMN3. This brings you closer to the water for sensitivity, providing instant response. Golden Child also has less concave than the Monsta for extra hold, which is complemented by a narrower nose & tail outline for control in critical sections. All of these features come together to complete a model designed for rail surfing, to cut through the water like a hot knife through butter. Kanoa's dimensions below, from shortboard to slight step ups. 6'0 1/2" x 18 7/8" x 2 9/16" x 29.6L 6’1” x 18 7/8" x 2 9/16" x 29.8L 6’2” x 18 7/8” x 2 9/16” x 30.2L (he's 5'11" & 171lbs / 78kg) https://jsindustries.com/products/golden-child Filmed by White Flag Productions
