Clip: 11-Year-Old Surf Prodigy Stomps Insane Kerrupt Flip

The Brazilian Storm rages on.

Ever since Gabriel Medina won his, and his country’s, first World Title back in 2014, Brazilian surfers, both competitive and freesurfing, have been undeniably dominant.

And there’s more on the way…like 11-year-old Arthur Vilar.

In his latest clip – seen above – the pint-sized punter throws down a flawless Kerrupt Flip, a trick invented and named after Australian aerialist Josh Kerr.

Captioning the clip, young Arthur wrote (roughly translated from Portuguese):

“This kerrupt came out today at my amusement park (Pontal de Baía Formosa).

“Best part of all was the beach energy when I got the gear right”

After Arthur stomps the maneuver, folks on the beach can be heard hootin’ and hollerin’.

And folks in the comments section did the same, too, digitally:

“School for my lil man!” – Italo Ferreira

“Wow that was really awesome” – Shane Dorian

“😍😍” – Adriano de Souza

It’s not the first time we’ve seen the very young, very talented Brazilian surfer blowing minds for his skills well beyond his years.

A couple years ago, back when he was only eight years old, Arthur was throwing down airs then, as evidenced by a clip posted by the WSL.

For a little more info on Arthur, here’s a bio from Rax:

“Inspired by his father, former competitive surfer Arthur de Souto, the 11-year-old prodigy strives to carry on his legacy. Soon enough, he began taking part in surfing competitions at the young age of 7. Taken under Olympic champion Ítalo Ferreira’s wing, the little legend has swept awards in the Under 8, 10, and 12 categories.

“To this day, Arthur Vilar continues to ride the glory of youth by learning new maneuvers to help him claim his brilliant victory.”

As they say, keep an eye on this kid.
