First Person: Ivan Monteiro Brazil’s Pro Returns to the U.S. – The Platfrm
It’s been a long time coming for São Paulo, Brazil’s Ivan Monteiro. Looking as clean and controlled as ever on the board, Ivan has been having an incredible year—he turned pro in April for Shorty’s, their first new pro in two decades. Ivan left his home country in 2017 to pursue skateboarding, but it wasn’t until last year that he returned to skate in a contest. For the past six years, he hasn’t competed in any contests in the United States, either.
By winning Week 7 of the 2025 RSEO VQS, Ivan ultimately earned an invite to compete in Portland at the main event. After skating through three rounds of competition, he eventually finished 3rd in the Street Final. From the VQS to the podium in Portland, in this episode of First Person Ivan talks us through all of that and more of his still unfolding story.
