Filipe Toledo, Lower Trestles, CA

Heard of Filipe Toledo? He’s part of an even-newer Brazilian wave currently taking over the surfing world. His backside air-reverses are ungodly (especially during Newcastle’s Surfest where, if it weren’t for an interference, he woulda won the whole event). Having just joined the Firewire program, Filipe was filmed during the Nike Lowers Pro at Trestles recently. A coupla the clips look to have been filmed on a VHS camcorder, but the content’s kinda phenom.
