Caio Ibelli (born October 11, 1993) is a Brazilian professional surfer who is in the World Surf League.
Ibelli started on the professional circuit in 2008, competing in the Qualifying Series.[1] In 2011, he won the WSL World Junior Title at home in Rio de Janeiro, beating Australian Jack Freestone in the final.[2] In 2015, Ibelli won the Qualifying Series without winning a single round of the circuit. With this result, he qualified for the 2016 Championship Tour for the first time in his career.[3] In his rookie season, Caio placed 16th and won the WSL Rookie of the Year award.[4] In the 2017 season he reached his only final on the CT, at the Bells Beach, losing to South African Jordy Smith.[5]
Caio continued competing on the CT until the 2024 season. His best result in a season was an 8th place in the 2022 season, reaching 3 semi-finals during the season.[6] In the 2024 season, he was ranked 25th until the mid-season cut-off, and failed to reclassify for the next season on the CT or the 2024 Challenger Series.[7]
