Filipe Toledo ain’t exactly known for being a big wave guy. He’s known for being an air guy and a turn guy and a barrel guy and a super-good-at-surfing guy, but not for being a big wave guy. You will remember, of course, when he scored a stunningly low score of exactly zero points at Teahupoo because it was gigantic and he was not prepared to kill himself for points. But now! Look at him go! Forty seconds in, he’s surfing Waimea! Oh, Filipe, fill out those big wave chops and prove everyone wrong!
