I was struck by the way Filipe was doing all that theatre yesterday at Bells. For a long time, a time when he distanced himself from his father as a coach, got married, raised his children, a time when he was in charge of paying the bills for his entire family and extended family, his attitude is that of a gentleman.

He had been the captain of the Brazilian team after Adriano de Souza stepped down from the role after retiring from the tour.

But yesterday, he put on a completely different show: He hurriedly got out of the water and started shouting to his friends about Jackson Baker's wave, repeating whether it was "a nine! a nine!"

“Did you see what I saw? A nine?” he said, referring to the wave that the friendly Australian had surfed.

Then he took advantage of the Logan show to say it in English and repeat whether that had been a “nine,” looking at the camera, “a nine!”…

He came and went, he prepared to lose and also to win… His friends crowded around him, they did what they knew and what was at hand in a scene in which the captain did not prove to be a captain.

The judges delayed and finally the score came down and he said ironically: “And on top of that they gave me a 7”… Shaming the judges, still angry after the favor received. The reality is that the nine was much more of a nine than his seven.

And he tripled the bet by looking at the live broadcast camera: “Keep trying, keep trying!”… Who did he say that to?

It was the show of the final day of the event, without a doubt.

She then said that she loves Jackson and that he is passionate. She said that on her wave she did two “big turns” and finished with the aerial.

It was something worthy of a youth event on a state circuit. Not the CT.

A show that Logan loves, but that has nothing to do with the first division of world surfing or with Toledo itself.
