"The wave with more wall is missing, which allowed you to show all your surf."
Hours ago, the surf world was stunned to oblivion when the best little wave surfer ever created (save those making magic in wave pools) was ingloriously jettisoned from Brazil’s signature event. Chris Cote et. al. referred to Filipe Toledo as the King of Rio, a very true statement though, for 16 gorgeous hours, he was also King of Teahupo’o. No one, never and always, can critique the San Clemente transplant’s skill in waves ar0und knee high.
And yet.
Today he fell to countryman Miguel Pupo likely ending his chance to surf ledging Fijian barrels for an opportunity for a third world title.
Shattering.
But, shockingly, not Toledo’s fault.
His father took to social media in the aftermath of the stunning defeat to share the assessment:
It was a tough day at Saquarema. The battery had few waves, the sea didn’t help, and Filipe ended up being overtaken by Miguel Pupo in the final moments.
During the dispute, he still had a broken board and needed to change equipment — one more obstacle in an already complicated battery. The wave with more wall is missing, which allowed you to show all your surf.
Thank you all for your support and love, as always. We’re still standing firm. All the time!

Surf fans, everywhere, immediately understanding. “Wave with more wall” under 2 feet, not above 4 feet, plus horrible surfboards to blame.
Light a candle for House Toledo, tonight, plus begin a petition to have Filipe Toledo included in the final Finals Day due this extreme injustice.
Thank you for your service.
All the time.

Fillippity will probably retire for good from the WSL after this season. He doesn’t need no stupid tennis tour. No HamSammish.
His “Skater” wife must kick both their asses. No respectful women would put up with these whiny excuses for losing… remember what happened to Chow Eeee-belly…never forget… https://media1.giphy.com/me…
Did he need the Duracell battery Bunny up his ass….?
Fuck, thought that was Damien Hardman for a sec…
Stance-ist cunt. Not all goofies look the same. #goofieslivesmatter

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
call me Daddy
It’s a shame Negatron has no sense of humor. If he did, he’d “Feature” your comment, because, well, dang, it’s striking feature is just how darn funny it is
the clip was probably not shown on NZ TV.
makes President Trump look too good.
does daddy know where that 400 kg of highly enriched Iranian uranium went though? job isn’t done unless and until that has been confirmed as destroyed.
is the 400 kg of Uranium missing?
you have evidence of this?
where did you get this information?
Not disputed that they had it. But was it all destroyed? Was at least some of it moved (likely the case, because Persians are shady but they aren’t stupid)? Inquiring minds would like to know.

so just a lot of speculation trying to disparage the President and the US military.
Maybe you don’t understand much about military operations, but the target areas were under constant surveillance by satellite, spy planes, drones and on the ground military personnel for weeks maybe even months before the bombing. If the trucks that were in the photo had moved anything from the facilities, those trucks would have been tracked and monitored.
here’s what the IAEA say: “The IAEA has not resumed inspections since the June 22 strikes, with Iran suspending international access amid ongoing military tensions.”
honestly, it will take months to dig through the rubble to figure out if the Uranium had been relocated or not…….but nobody, including Iran expected Trump to do what he did and due to the constant 12 days of bombing by the Israeli’s, it would have been pretty difficult, of not impossible to sneak the Uranium out of the facility.
Thats true, theyre hiding it in gays and raped womens houses.
Mossad and IDF know. But, since butthurt terrorist state sympathizer deep state lefty fools would leak any Intel, they’re not telling.
What do you think should happen to Intel leakers? Military tribunal? Sedition charges?
people like Com always parroting their Misinformed Sheepherder Moronocon fake news.
First they said the bombs didn’t cause much damage, now they say the uranium was moved. What’s next?
The Epstein files were in the facility and Trump destroyed it to destroy the Epstein files?
These scumbags will make up anything to bash Donald Trump. just thank God, Drunk Kamala isn’t in the white house.
I thought Hegseth and Caine did a stellar job this morning.
at making tremendous asses of themselves… yeah they did!
you okay Stick?! you might try wiping that spittle from your mouth
Suck it. Kook.
you keep doing the “okay” hand sign this much and people might start wondering if you’re a white power guy.
settle
Projection much? Magat.
that schtick is old
I think it was rather admirable that Hegseth didn’t show up to work drunk again. You think he’s in the middle of the 12 steps?
you show up this unprepared to court as well?
as unprepared as Hegseth customarily is? No, I’m actually good at what I do, tend to be rather well prepared for things, and don’t drink on the job.
How unprepared was Hegseth for that presser, in your opinion?
you sure it’s customarily cause you have evidence, and or is it that you hate him so much?
If there’s anything I actually hate about Hegseth, it’s his dog whistle neo-Nazi tattoos. As for his overall preparedness, this guy will never be prepared for anything he does as Secretary of Defense given that he was a low-level officer never privy to the training and education you’d get upon reaching the rank of colonel. They cut him out of the decision making process for the Iran strike, and for good reason—guy is both an amateur and a blowhard crybaby.
There’s only one decision maker. The Commander in Chief. The rest is just plans.
You think KBJ was prepared for how idiotic her Dissent was found to be?
so you’ve seen intelligence reports confirming that the air strikes destroyed 100% of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, or are you just going on what Trump has said about the matter?
Did I say that? no, I did not say that.
what said was the military has had this place under surveillance (for months), and “it would have been pretty difficult, if not impossible to sneak the Uranium out of the facility.”
Dream of failure all you want but maybe it would be wise to wait until the final assessments are released before speculating, and disparaging the President and the mission, to fulfill your demented fantasies of the Presidents and the U.S. military’s failure.
You may want to listen to the Pentagon briefing from yesterday and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Caine before continuing this thread.
you mean the very same briefing where Caine said that there hadn’t been any bomb damage assessment done on the strike yet? He didn’t confirm destruction of all the enriched uranium either.
And I think it would be great if all the previously enriched uranium was destroyed, as Iran retaining any of it would still represent a big problem.
But Iran had plenty of time between the commencement of the Israeli strikes and last Saturday to move at least some of that material. Satellite images during that week around Fordow showed that they were certainly at least trying to move something. Whether they had enough specialized vehicles to transport that type of material is another matter, but it can’t be ruled out.
yes, that very same briefing where Caine said that there hadn’t been any bomb damage assessment done on the strike yet.
in other words, you, the media and other naysayers don’t know shit, so stop spreading misinformation. if the Uranium was not there, then they know where it is, as the facility was being monitored for months, way before the Israeli’s started their strikes. One could speculate that the Israeli’s began their strikes as a deception and to occupy the Iranians while the U.S. strike was being set up, and to “soften the targets”. One could also speculate that they wanted to see if the Iranians would attempt to move the Uranium.
The movement of all those trucks that you saw at the facility would have been monitored.
You may have missed the part of the briefing where Caine said they have been monitoring the target for years. The survelinace capabilities of the U.S. military is beyond anything you can comprehend. They would know if the Uranium was moved and where it currently is, if it was moved. They know where everone of those trucks went.
Where do you think that photograph of the trucks came from? It came U.S surveillance platforms…..and before you say: then why did Caine and Hegseth say they don’t know yet? because if they do know the uranium was moved, and they know where it is, they don’t want to “tip their hand”.
As I said, you don’t understand much about military operations. Try to think outside the box of your Trump hatred ideology.
so if there hasn’t been any BDA (which is what I was referring to), that means that 1) the naysayers don’t know that the uranium hasn’t all been destroyed; and 2) the pro Trump cheerleaders don’t know that all the uranium had been destroyed either.
Unless you served in a non-grunt officer capacity though, I don’t know why you would have any greater knowledge of how the military works on that level than the next civilian. Know many former pilots who have seen combat?
exactly. they tell you it’s not known yet, so stop spreading shit like: “does daddy know where that 400 kg of highly enriched Iranian uranium went though? job isn’t done unless and until that has been confirmed as destroyed.”
….but actually, they know exactly where the uranium is, and whether it is buried under rubble or in another location. However, at this time, it would be absolutely stupid of them to reveal what they know.
again, where do you think the photo of those trucks came from? obviously the U.S. was monitoring all the activity at the target sites.
this is a really dumb conversation: I was actually making a joke about Ricky Toledo, that tied in the funny news of the day, but you decide to try to bash Trump with your MSM BS.
you wikipedia a lot of your military definitions, don’t you?
my only knowledge of how military operations work is that my father was an operational specialist and strategist for 27 years, and he told me: Civilians, media, etc have no idea what they’re talking about when they talk about military operations.
me: “why’s that pops?”
dad:”because we don’t want them to know.”
I tend to get my military definitons directly from former Cobra pilots (who have a lot of knowledge and firsthand experience about the whole concept of air strikes in general) I know when I ask them, “wait, what does that acronym mean?”
At the end of the day, I really hope you’re right in your assessment of this administration’s competency in this instance and that my skepticism proves to have been unwarranted. But the narrative we’re getting from Trump and his cucks right now (who literally lie all the time) seems a little too good be to be true.
what was that? sorry…..I dosed off.
WHAT? you know Cobra pilots? WEEEEELLLLLLLLL FUCK!!!!!
that right there ends the conversation.
Who da Man? You da man!
the one thing about attorneys is they will never admit they may not know something…..or admit they may have misspoken…..
If all else fails, they’ll break out the “”I know Cobar pilots”.
Game, Set, Match…..You win.
I’m glad we reached this understanding!
Daddy has to sometimes use strong language.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hey now, you take that back—I am in no way responsible enough to be a daddy.
Com wants failure.
Strict adherence to “mostly peaceful” riots leads him to now instinctually gather that even 30,000 lb. Bunker Buster Bombs must be “mostly peaceful” too. Skewed perspective.
not meaning to brag….but two downvotes on one comment?
FUCK YEAH!
who’s awesome?
THIS GUY!!!
so many to thank, I don’t know where to start.
probably your team that leaked em…
Anything is possible, but not everything is probable
They dumped it in Bin Laden’s graveyard site.
Xox
It was “obliterated” to another facility probs…
in them dump trucks some 3 days earlier.
There’s been an invention over here that threatens the fencing community – sheep/cow collars that keep livestock within digitally defined boundaries – no #8 required. It has consumed the entire news cycle.
*Humour.
ever the loyal subject you are to the Crown
The best thing about him losing is it wiped out another 10 guys in Surfival League!
Jesus, you’re still alive in that?
Yep but only in the second chance league (16 guys left I think). It’s been even more carnage than the OT league. I think there’s about 5 left in that.
Godspeed to you. Was slaughtered early on in both.
Ricardo’s legs look so fire in this photo. If I share the same razor brand? can I look that good?
Btw just like jim I <3 skim boarding

Can’t wait to hear what Uriah’s dad, Pizza Time Matt MacDonald, thinks.
you are wicked. you had to expose the name….and make me look at their instagram accounts………which make Joe Turpel sound like a grumpy old man.
Yeah, sorry. Could t resist.
