He certainly is a up and coming world champion I love to watch him surf he is so good it almost makes you cry..
Looks like this short is 3 minutes too long.
I am not watching it until someone confirms it was filmed during is plump phase. at least it would be a little relatable. or if his misses berates him, that would also be relatable.
Phatty! Good to see you!
Wearing a big black jacket and growing a beard aye…
That’s my cover up trick matey
Hasn’t anyone told his kids that you have to win it to ring it?
I’LL BET YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW ARRANGED MARRIAGES WORK! HUH!?! DO YA?!!??
You probably don’t even go left! lol
Nobody Toledoed them…
Felipe blocked me on IG for this.

Yes! Where is the double up-vote option?
That is epic.
I love your work, but I’m unsure how Dr Phil’s abusive treatment of his show staff = Felipe.
Perhaps Phil Collins instead? “Hold on” ?
Phil Jackson?
Phil Macrack?
Punxsutawney Phil?
Prince Phillip?
too soon
Nahhhhhhhh
Mate, thanks for the package today! Made me laugh as I opened it up. I’ll hit you up next time I’m in Newy for work 🤙🤙
Phillip Toledo Hoffman?
Philippa Anderson?
make him uncle phil throwing will (tux n all) thru kitchen door after oscar snafu…
To troll is to exist! Great effort!
If he had zinc counter tops, would be looked upon more kindly?
One would zinc so.
Hard to beat at 8 foot jbay

I will now worship you!
Gratifying but unnecessary. I am but a mortal man.
Email me for stickers though, and I shall rain vinyl manna upon thee.

That’s a very generous eight foot.
Always round up
Not Hawaiian bra. Just plain ‘ol 8 ft Brazilian. Obrigado.
brazzoland don’t do imperial tho… *dois metrão
That’s right never forget that performance folks!
Ripper. Part of the WSL Judges Pack?
No footage of his security blanket he snuggles with when it’s 8 foot and ledging, though.
Tired snipe, bro.
Every guy has his strengths. What Felipe did at Jbay will never be forgotten. Credit due.
And it was 8′ at least,pumping. He unleashed the future of surfing. If that’s all he does, that day was enough.
It’s only DHMF.
What else would you expect.
Bexy! How’s the grooming business coming along?
They all ask for you
Sadly I dont like pizza.
“Tired snipe, bro.” Regular local Hippy, forgetting he’s at BG. Millionaire athletes trying to be the best in the world, are fair game. Shaq couldn’t do basics like hit a freethrow–he got teased relentlessly. Even hacked for it. etc. etc.
Felipe does things that no one else can do. Stylish too.
He may not win Chopes. Is that all we value when he launches double alley oops DURING a heat? Big airs too. Giant. Pumping waves. PUMPING.
A principle here clowns him for effect when that principle barely survives the Surf Ranch.
Would Chas survive running Super tubes? I dunno. Felipe draws lines we all imagine. Square, committed turns. Finish. Carries speed to the next.
Chas is a writer, Pip is a professional surfer. It’s a lazy comparison Hippy.
I just want to see Pip translate his skills and wave knowledge into heavier waves, not giant just heavier.
He can do it.
He definitely kinda does it… it’s just that the ones who do it better do it a lot better with full commitment therefore they always stand out over him when it’s consequential. (J-bay, Trestles, open-face rail-work, speed, airs, etc. excluded).
Kinda does it. You just summed it up.
Parko and Fanning both had to work on their weaknesses in heavy water before they became alphas on tour.
Yeah not too sure that’s his destiny…If he ever wins the title it won’t be soo much from charging but more from ripping and a mediocre forecast at all the heavy breaks so he can rip them too. Consecutive titles? No hhway!
He shredded at Sunset. Just needs to spend a month or two at Cloudbreak.
Maybe that’s the worst about this – you need to spend two months in paradise, in the water, you are a full time athlete, you have the availability for it, you have the sponsors to foot the bill, yet somehow you choose not to go. Drives me nuts to be honest.
There is a part of me that thinks Chas should surf better, even as a joe bloggs, before he gets toooo critical
But hey that’s Chas
I’m not sure he can … 8-10 ft + is a realm that’s not easily breached ,look at the balls to the wall commitment by Jackson baker and Callum Robson at macking pipe recently,after all these years Felipe (for the most part )still lacks heart in heavy water
This can all be true, along with the fact he doesn’t charge thick barrels at reefs and slabs. I guess I’m more impressed by ADS forcing JOB to teach him (aDS) how to surf Pipe, than by Pip who at the same time is choosing to practice spinners at Trestles. Wanna be a legit world champ and not be teased at BG? Perform in massive barrels at a critical reef.
People who criticize pro surfers on BG are weaklings and cowards. Try surf bra?
Never have, nah. I play Connect Four. Don’t even know to swim.
Thats been obvious, just like to have things out in the open.
