Filipe Toledo challenges scared-in-big-waves rep in film CANDID: "I don't wanna be this guy."

In this nine-minute short, perennial world title contender Filipe Toledo talks, candidly, about the reputation that has bedevilled his career since his zero point heat at Teahupoo in 2015. "The reputation's not good. People talking about it? I don't like it," says Filipe. The film contrasts that zero-point heat in Tahiti with his near-win over Kelly Slater, at eight-to-ten-foot Pipeline, in 2018. "I'm not the best surfer out at Pipeline; I'm not the best surfer in Tahiti. I have to get better. I have to improve by going out there, taking wipeouts, two-wave hold-downs, getting hurt on the reef."
