Brazil’s Kelvin Hoefler has become known as one of the most consistent skaters in the Southern Hemisphere. And north of the Equator? Hoefler is the undisputed Best Trick Bandit, wowing the crowds at Street League, X Games, Tampa, and Dew Tour, with a potent repertoire of technical big-rail daggers. And he’s smooth, too. Hoefler will be representing his home country at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, nearly eighteen years after getting his first skateboard. This momentous occasion will closely rival Hoefler’s proudest skate moment: being included in the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records for “The most wins of the World Cup Skateboarding men’s street world rankings.” For a skater who always fantasized about traveling the world, Hoefler is making his dreams a reality in an epic way.
