Follow Filipe Toledo's effortless win at the US Open!
I doubt I’m alone in suggesting that no other filmer has such a clear window into the pro game as La Jolla’s Peter King.
I’ve followed the former pro surfer-celebrity chanteuse’s career through its highs and its highs. As for TourNotes, which King makes for the surf clothing company Hurley, he says: “I was on tour for three-and-a-half years, back when girls wanted to hang with Shaun Tomson and Rabbit Bartholomew and were 35 years old and wore high-waisted bikinis, do cocaine and all those things I didn’t know about. And what do I remember about my time on the tour? It isn’t the heats. I wanna show the fun. I want to show the silly little conversations.”
In this episode, King follows Filipe Toledo, “throughout his obvious and effortless win. No one else would have been as fun to watch won, that’s for sure. Most of it was filmed from the Sao Paulo section of the bleachers. Only this group could make tiny Huntington seem more exciting that the Olympics…”
As for the Toledos and Filipe’s upcoming role as a daddy, “They are known as the SurfamilyToledo … so the more the merrier!”
Filipe, meanwhile, split California to Kandui resort in the Mentawais straight after his win. He’ll be there till Tahiti!
Before Jeremy Flores comes along and starts throwing chairs around, ‘chanteuse’ is the feminine; Peter King would be a ‘chanteur’. Unless, of course, there’s something more sinister going on here. Did ‘he’ spend those three and a half years using the WRONG toilet? Richie Collins needs to know. Or did he know already? Is that what his self-loathing hatewank was really about?
What?
Trust me, watch this instead: http://www.thrashermagazine…
Peter King is a fucking fascist.
Is the São Paulo section of the bleachers a Zika quarantine area? I’m paranoid about this shit now. Fuck you Costa Rican chicas.
Why is it that Brazilian skaters speak far better english than surfers? Seems backwards to me (no offense skate rats).
They also speak better English than American pro-surfers.
Agreed.
