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.

For the past six years, he hasn’t competed in any contests in the United States, either.
