With an electric display of speed and power surfing, Filipe claimed his 9th CT Victory in pumping four-to six foot surf at Margaret River’s Main Break.
Building throughout an event which saw some of the biggest surf in recent competition, FT timed his run to perfection, unleashing a barrage of critical forehand hacks to take the win.
“I’m just so stoked. My equipment feels so dialled. My fins feel perfect in these solid conditions. I feel glued to my board! I promised to win a comp for my son Koa on his birthday today & I did it! I'm fired up for the next comp at Rottenest, Bring it on!” – Filipe Toledo
Taking a closer look at the equipment Filipe used throughout the comp he preferred the FCS All Round leash as a trusted option in the big stuff.
His fins of choice were the FT Larges – which sit under the Accelerator family and are ideal for controlled, high speed turns in critical waves – pretty much the exact conditions over in the West!
In episode five of Beneath The Surface, we catch up with one of the world's most promising and exciting surfers Crosby Colapinto.
Cros gives us his insights into his favourite fins and why he's now jazzed on riding quads.
