The man from Ipanema and professional surfing's first ever perfect sartorial heat!
What a day of professional surfing! It literally had everything and I dare not even touch the action as I look forward to Steve Shearer’s daily wraps like I look forward to that first 2 PM cocktail. Crisp, clear, invigorating. Knocking life straight back into true perspective, or at the very least a more balance one.
But there is one thing I know he won’t talk about and that is Filipe Toledo’s J-Bay perfection.
Oh not his 10 point ride, that will be discussed I’m sure, but his sartorial perfection. The first heat ever given a full fashion 10!
Andy Irons almost got a 10 many years ago for this singlet/trunk combo…
Through no fault of his own professional surfing was dealing singlets that looked NASCAR back then and he didn’t quite match his reds so he got a fashion 9.87.
Yesterday, though, Filipe Toledo went red on red with peroxide blonde hair and 93 pounds of sartorial boom…
The black kneecaps on his wetsuit set off the white Corona lettering on his singlet. His hair, black peeking through white. Peroxided mustache and goatee lending an air of Greek demi-god. The skin, a nut brown hue also nodding toward Mt. Olympus, pulling the ensemble together…
I could really go on all day but must retreat to the swimming pool to celebrate this momentous day because I just got the finest pair of Etro trunks.
Who wore it better? Sorry but I give Felipe a 0/10 for the sad imitation of a true fashion icon.

Do you think his back wheels got a look in with the peroxide? You know, do the carpets match the curtains?
Andy. Owning everything.
Is Filipe the Guy Fieri of the WSL?
If “Guy Fieri” means “Man on Fire” then yes!
He pulls off the bleached hair much better than Bruce.
Hold up fella. Hetro trunks or Euro trunks? Not that one is better than the other mind. Are they the same?
Also: proud moment being featured/bitched on the Stab?
Were you featured too? And Etro trunks! The brand sometimes loses its way but this season’s trunks are almost perfect!
My ignorance is such a heavy burden sometimes.
One day I will be featured. One day.
whereabouts, i couldn’t find it?

Shredding. Lovely hair. Dashing wetsuit. Now only if he could surf chopes & pipe … tgen i could be assured he is the manliest of men on tour!
In all seriousness, I think we should attempt to persuade the WSL to add mid-wave claim penalties of 1 point.
