World’s best small wave surfer Filipe Toledo reveals judges to blame for shock Tahiti Pro loss: “Felt like my waves were better than 7s but super stoked with my performance!”

Surf fans to sleep easy tonight.

The world’s current number one surfer, Filipe Toledo, suffered a shock loss in the just-wrapped Outerknown Tahiti Pro greatly kerflummoxing fans around the globe. In his first heat, he bravely refused to paddle for monster waves, bobbing lonely out the back while two elderly gentlemen traded absolute bombs underneath his priority.

In his second heat, he came up against the less skilled of the aforementioned elderly gentlemen, rode two medium sized waves and lost thus being sent home in last place.

Fans here and there, again, immeasurably stunned as, once more, Toledo is the world’s current number one surfer. How could he possibly lose in such fashion to such competitors?

Well, a week or such on, it has finally been revealed that the judges were, in fact, to blame for the unfortunate business.

In a message posted to social media, Toledo penned, “Felt good going into the elimination round. Had to go against legend Nathan Hog that got the best wave of the heat! Congrats brother (fire emoji)!!!! Feel like my waves was better than 7s but super stoked with my performance…// trestles see you soon// Felt good going into the elimination round, but I ran into monster Nathan Hedge! I think my waves might have been a bit more noted, even more seeing some drums now! But happy with my performance! Thank you Jesus – see you at trestles (swords crossed emoji).

While there is light confusion about what “drums” the very talented Brazilian is seeing now, fans will sleep easy knowing that the all-but-certain 2022 champion is best in all conditions, any size.

Whew.

All is right.

The “mountains of data” pretty much make my argument for me. No vaccines? haha…lets try that next jungle bug comes our way.
Your passive/aggressive talking points are pretty annoying. Im not who think I am. Ok later..

You did not provide the web links to verify the proof of your rant.
As if the entire Global medical world is wrong and you’re right?

The covid-19 numbers scaled down dramatically when the Vax numbers elevated:

“Before the emergence of the delta variant, it was reported that after at least one dose of the mRNA vaccine by Pfizer or the adenoviral vector vaccine by Astra Zeneca, the risk of symptomatic cases in household contacts of vaccinated cases was about 50% lower than that among household contacts of unvaccinated cases.”

The Vaccines significantly reduced both hospitalizations and deaths… Fact.
Biden knows that and so does Faucci. They are both aware that the vaccines are not 100% fail-safe.

Provide a web link to your so-called quotes.
And don’t give me that “Lib” crap. I make decisions based on intelligence, period.

Fortunately you’re in no position to advise our Nation on its pandemic responses.
You’re just spouting bullshit.

I’ve studied statistics for this geographical population area, as well as Military analysis of the Covid vaccine effects here, and Nationally, because my work includes on-site Veterans Administration Hospital clearance. The facts are clear. The vaccines significantly reduced spread, hospitalizations, and deaths. Everyone in the VA is vaxxed and we wear masks. Because lowering the risk is responsible behavior.

Trump’s pathetic decision to delay, because of possible economic impact, cost many people their lives. He’s a vain idiot.

And as far as sex goes, I’m confident that the women I’ve been with are significantly more desirable than whomever would spend time with a MAGAT, so don’t throw your childish nonsense at me in that regard either.

Jesus is dead! Died a long time ago apparently, didn’t you know?!
But from what i heard, he wasn’t that much into surfing. He did (apparently) walk on water once, must have had one of the first model of hydrofoil shoes i believe! Didn’t do any turns or trick tho, but scored pretty big if you look at the archives. You could say that the juges must have been on his side, not like with Fil. Too bad…

Neither Fucci or Biden, nor any scientists involved ever said if you get the vaccine, you won’t get Covid. Period. The concept was to slow the expansion of infections, and protect the general population. And it did exactly that. Your stats are pure BS. I studied the stats carefully because my office is medically zoned, in the heart of a large and highly educated population in Silicon Valley. We closed for 3 months and reopened as the numbers started declining from vaccinations. Our Health related instructors all got vaxed and boostered, to lower the risk of getting sick, and lower risk of infecting others. If you were too frightened to get vaxxed, that’s your problem. But hundreds of thousands of lives were protected, and I honor everyone who stepped up.

Proofread once in awhile. Your statements are nonsense. No vaccine at all? Check the flu from 1918. No natural immunity, only young people got sick.
Vaccines work. What its some plot? Damn things were free.

What will you do when polio comes for you? Its here again.
Stop being a tool.
You owe pixels for having to type this. Send money instead.

Look, do your own research.
Try Scientific Americans article on base rate fallacy, which will explain your thinking errors about mortality.. of vac versus unvac.
I never heard anyone claim 100%, thats bullshit. I would call bullshit on that.
If you were overweight, unhealthy, lung or heart issues from smoking, or had other issues that preventing you from getting a vaccine, and you got covid? The odds were not in your favour. Even with a vaccines its still a battle if you have issues like that. No question. Lotta dead people that sholdnt be dead.
Novak cant surf anyways, hes a kook.
Im done. seeya..

Slater charges chopes. But on that big cloudbreak swell years ago he was in the commentary box. Dunno why he didn’t go on that day.

I just watched the heat again. No way he provided much competition against NH who was just out there having a great time and getting deep. Pip was clinging on by his toenails and looking wooden.

Nice seque. I got word the world is run by shape-shifting lizard beings and there’s something about child-trafficking and a guy the same colour as a cheese Dorito coming to save us (white men first). Hard to prove, of course, but I’m sure you can do it.
