Filipe Toledo ten point ride
Filipe Toledo's exceptionalism at baby Backdoor.

Surf fans explode after WSL missteps with Filipe Toledo post at “baby Backdoor”

"Even on a scale of 1-100, that still isn’t a 10."

In attempt, you’d presume, to shore up Filipe Toledo’s Pipeline bona fides almost one year to the day since he pulled out of the same event with a mysterious illness after posting a 1.77 heat total at epic six-to-eight-foot Pipe, the WSL has posted a clip of the two-time champ scoring a ten-point ride.

The diminutive two-time world champ Filipe Toledo who is returning to competition after a one-year sabbatical, and looking back on his career it’s surprising he wasn’t hospitalised from nervous exhaustion and overwork, scored the generous ten-points almost a decade ago, back in 2016 when it was called the Billabong Pipeline Masters and which was won by Tahitian Michel Bourez.

Hell hath no fury like a surf fan taken for a fool, however. The comments almost uniformly pushed against the notion that a four-foot wave could be scored ten points, no matter how well surfed by surf expert Filipe Toledo.

Is that when he surfed in the woman’s division??

lol always handing out extra points for lame claims

Manini 2 footer Wouldn’t even be one 10 for da womans these days

Even on a scale of 1-100, that still isn’t a 10.

Should lose points for that shit claim.

Baby back door.

And, pointedly,

Largest wave he ever surfed on tour

Prediction: Filipe Toledo will podium at this year’s Pipe Pro, held in three-to-four-foot runners at baby Backdoor.

I’m still working off my re-kookification, and even I could tackle that.

Pip is clearly a WSL bottle-fed bitch who is getting preferential treatment from WSL ahead of his “brave” return to competition. They have very few champs left in their stables, so sadly, this is the horse they’re backing, albeit a mangy, inbred donkey of a horse. 10 minutes til go time!

Which Felipe shows up this year? Skinny and fit or Ricardo second breakfast?

KnostMalone

Bravo WSL…perfect troll to get engagement. Are you sure @chas isn’t running their socials as a surf adjacent side gig?

Sean Connery

Pretty sure Turpel runs there insta.

Rocks local

could give a shit about Pip at pipe — but how have we gone 3 days without a single surf adjacent story about the new Chinese AI and the collateral cratering of the US markets??

Sean Connery

“Chinese national surf team delighted as American AI might not be #1 after all!”

Americans in mourning today especially the MAGA heads who love tik tok but hate China as yahoo news just reported that Chinese AI is possibly far superior than its American counterpart. The Chinese surf team are said to be delighted as they prepare for LA 2028.

What are your thoughts? Do you use AI daily? Does it enhance your life? Or do you wake up in the middle of the night worrying about all the fast food workers on the picket lines?

Lets discuss.

ha, that’s it, right there! Collect that Taco Bell coupon from DR for your fine work!

Trump will come up with some kind of excuse to shut deep seek down in America because it’s a more efficient product. So much for the free market economy.

What a waste of a Chatgpt

Happy Camper

as much content as Fil provides to these glorious pages, Beach Grit should sponsor him.
send him a few I Hate Surfing stickers……and a coffee mug.

worked for Caio.

Caio was not worthy of BG sponsorship. Largely due to him being a wanker.
We told Chas beforehand but he’s such a jerk he went and sponsored him anyway knowing that it would drive us crazy – which it did.
Felipe’s a totally different kettle of fish. Caio at least has balls – I’ll give him that much.
Felipe- #not my world champ.
