"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.
