Check out this profile of one of the new stars on the World Tour & Series: Mo Freitas
As part of a new series of video profiles we will be putting out surrounding our athletes on both the Stand Up World Tour & Series, here is a glance into the life of the yong phenom, Mo Freitas (Focus SUP), from Haleiwa, Oahu.
Mo quite literally changed the game to some extent, when he came into the 2012 Ubatuba Pro with a new look stand up board shaped by legendary shaper Pat Rawson for Focus SUP. Needless to say, he won the event at just 15 years old. He is now just turning 17 and only goes from strength to strength.
As a leading force on the Stand Up World Tour, Mo is currently in 7th place overall in the World Rankings at the year midpoint, and is in 6th place overall on the World Race Series. As a result, Mo is currently 3rd overall across Surf and Racing, behind Zane Schweitzer (Starboard) in 2nd and Kai Lenny (Naish) in 1st – an impressive stat for an young athlete so young.
