A short film featuring Filipe Toledo with cameos by the ever-wonderful Jesus Cristo!
It’s no secret that Filipe Toledo, like ninety percent of his fellow Brazilians, is powered by the divine hand of a Christian god. If you were to examine his right deltoid and bicep you’d be pleased to see a slightly scaled down portrait of Jesus Cristo, the son of god etc.
In this two-and-a-half-minute short by Bruno Baroni, and which features Filipe in Portugal, it begins with enough Biblical imagery to swing even a fallen apostate like me. The purity of the nun, the silhouette of Christ, the monks…
…but here comes a beat…
Filipe arrives at a beach.
…and full rote, almost full rote, backside tube, rote, big lay-down carve, tube, straight air, lofty rote, hack, hack, hack, hack, rote, fast spin and so on.
It isn’t Mean Streets but it does give a momentary rush.
Watch!

When Filipe masters a heaving left…Jesus Cristo will return to set up his throne in Lemoore.
How about neither. I was just wondering if he was a Christian or Catholic. Real simple. There is literal doctrinal differences that make it impossible for both to identify as orthodox Christianity. It stems from seeing Medina and him praying during WSL broadcasts. And thank you for observing my lack of need to apply forced humor in hopes to garner the shallow approval of SJW’s like you.
Like to see Filipe get out of his comfort zone, toughen up.. Get dragged across some south pacific reefs. Start training like a prize fighter. He is a champion and don’t want to see it achieved via wave pool. “End of the road” holds glory not some dessert town..
Is Filipe a Christian or Catholic? There is a notable difference between the two. For instance, Catholics think the bread and wine during communion is literally the body of Jesus Christ while Evangelicals believe it to be a symbolic representation.
G.L.O.W.?
I was expecting to hear that Breeders song.
DONT TELL ME THERE’S NO BREEDERS
