The Stoke-ed, crafted through the elite collaboration between Italo Ferreira and Timmy Patterson, this high-performance model is engineered to be as forgiving as it is explosive. Designed for everyday use, it stands out for blending radical potential with user-friendly design. It’s the ultimate daily driver, purpose-built to perform from knee-high fun to solid overhead barrels.
The board’s standout trait is how well it hides foam—especially through the center and under the chest—giving it enhanced paddle power and flow without sacrificing agility. A lower nose rocker ensures early wave entry and drive down the line, while a single-to-double concave transitions into a subtle vee off the tail, allowing for smooth rail transitions and lift through turns. The tail rocker features a subtle kick, designed to release quickly in steeper sectionsand deliver snappy responsiveness off the lip.
Built with medium full rails, this model maintains just the right balance between stability and sensitivity. The wider nose outline offers additional surface area up front, so surfers are advised to go 1–2 inches shorter and a touch thinner than their usual board, since the outline and deck already pack in volume efficiently.
Offered standard with a squash tail for everyday versatility, the board can also be custom-ordered with swallow or round tails to suit different preferences or conditions.
Pros:
Forgiving yet high-performance: great for a wide range of skill levels
Hidden foam adds paddle power and flow without bulk
Lower nose rocker and subtle tail kick enhance speed and release
Works well in a huge range of conditions, from knee-high to overhead

Summary:
Italo’s daily driver model is a masterclass in functional performance design—easy to paddle, fast through sections, and reactive when it counts. It’s built to grind through your average surf day while still delivering the goods when the waves turn on. A great choice for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a go-to board that performs in nearly any condition, with a touch of Italo’s flair built into every turn.
