For the men, it was the fourth Brazilian ever to take the title home — Filipe To- ledo. The fastest surfer on Earth, many claim he’s one of the most groundbreaking competitors over the past decade or so.

five-time world champ, Moore. Giving two or three times more of everything you have is not an advan- tage when surfing against the best —who have “fresh legs” — so to speak. Gilm- ore went through Costa Rica’s Brisa Hennessy in heat one, Brazilian-Amer- ican Tatiana Weston-Webb based on Kaua‘i, then France’s Johanne Defay to reach Moore, and win in two heats.
The first Brazilian world champ was Gabriel Medina in 2014, then Adriano de Souza in 2015. Medina won again in 2018, with Italo Ferreira following in 2019. Medina won his third title in 2021, and now it’s “holy” Toledo in 2022. The Brazil- ian storm is alive and well.

Gilmore humbly says, “... And then to be able to make it all the way to the final against Carissa, who in my mind, she’s the real world champ this year. I was out there thinking, if this happens, this is freak- ing cool because I’m out here against Carissa — the greatest of all time in my opinion.”
More information about Toledo and the Brazilian phenomenon is available at surfnewsnetwork.com.
• CRAFT Learn how to make a basic, yet beautiful seasonal wreath before the holiday season.

Ever notice how hum- ble and respectful world champs tend to be? Wow.
“Whoever is chasing your dreams, it does pay off,” To- ledo says. “It’s hard, you get tired, there’s a lot of ups and downs, and bad thoughts, but we did it. We did it.”
