Hoefler began skateboarding at age eight in his hometown of Guarujá in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.[2] After winning some events in his early teens, he committed to pursuing skateboarding as a career.[3] He made his professional debut in 2011.[4]
Hoefler steadily climbed the ranks throughout the 2010s to become one of the leading street skateboarders in the world. He has medaled at every major skateboarding tournament – Olympics, World Skateboarding Championship, and X Games – and has won multiple events in the Street League Skateboarding (SLS) and Dew Tour circuits. His top titles include World Championship gold in 2015, X Games Minneapolis gold in 2017, X Games Norway gold in 2018, and silver at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[5][6]
