WSL releases rare footage of world’s best surfer in waves three-feet and under at home with family in San Clemente, “Get a deeper look at what drives Filipe Toledo in and out of the water.”

A brief panorama of pleasingly clean kitchen, which includes marble bench tops, an examination of runner-up trophy from Bells and more.

The Brazilian surfer and perennial world title contender, Filipe Toledo, has given WSL cameras a rare glimpse into his life out of the water in a candid three-minute short.

The current world number four, who turns twenty seven in ten days and who is the son of multiple Brazilian national champion Ricardo, introduces the viewer to his children, one boy and one girl, examines his Bells Beach runner-up trophy and we are given a brief panorama of his pleasingly clean kitchen, which includes marble bench tops.

Essential.

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.

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” ?

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.

“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.
