Filipe Toledo - "food poisoning"

[casa_mugrienta]

Where's that Gothic Dolphins guy when you need him?

In context one of the funniest movie scenes ever... "I told you not to use Lifebuoy."

which contest was it that they called it off and a bunch of guys went out and got waves of their lives so they kept the webcast and booth online?

that one was epic.

fiji a couple years ago, best (no)contest ever

That contest was the biggest cleanest cloudbreak ever, they called it off as the cam is showing guys pull into 4x overhead barrrels.

Wasn't there a year where they decided to run a competition at huge Waimea? Started Ross Clark-Jones' career as a big wave surfer but at least one guy refused to paddle out.

1986 Billabong Pro. Bryce Ellis and Gary Green refused to paddle out at big Waimea Bay.

I can remember Curren saying when he was younger he sh!t his wetsuit on a big day at HB pier...Curren was never a Pipe specialist nor a total charger in the grand scheme of surfing, and nobody thinks less of him for it.

Curren on that Fireball board in that huge surf was pretty gnarly. He's surfed some big wave at J-Bay too. Not crazy pipe waves that are barreling, but he's proven to charge bigger waves than Filipe.

Curren has got wave of the winter bombs at Backdoor.

Tom Curren slander will not stand!

 

[santacruzin]

some good sized waves here

 

[ericthe]

Curren can’t be mentioned in this - Todos, sunset, backdoor, big slabs in the search vids

 

[santacruzin]

 

[scooch]

Blasphemy!! Mentioning Toledo in the same breath as Curren!!

 

[casa_mugrienta]

OK I admit the comparison is a tad blasphemous.

 

[freeride76]

I think the trend is the most important thing.

Curren got better at surfing heavy water.

Filipe is clearly getting worse.

 

[santacruzin]

Curren is the goat and completely untouchable.

There was no such thing as a pipe specialist or tube hunter in his era.
Hell you could say he helped pioneer all that with the search videos.

solid troll casa 7/7

Famous story of Fred Hemmings, when he was the director of the Triple Crown.

During an event that was suppose to be at Sunset it was too big so they moved it to Waimea Bay. Contestants didn’t want to go out saying it was unsurfable. Fred told them I’ll show you, he paddled out caught a bomb, came in and ran the contest.

He earned the nickname Full ahead Fred or something like that. I think MR won the contest.

I don’t think Curren ever won a North Shore contest. But I think he won the ill-fated Gotcha Pro at Sandy Beach or the year before.

Am just gonna throw my two cents in,He surfs better than any of you old pieces of sh!t,So bag on him all you want.He has access too any surf break in the fuckin world,Are pussy ass old farts are pissed because he sh!t his pants?

 

[buttholesurfer]

You know what's really pathetic,You old farts that can't even drop in anymore without causing a wipeout!
