For his whole professional career, Filipe Toledo has represented the tip of the spear of the progressive surfing movement. Small in stature, but massive with his moves, especially in the aerial realm. According to his peers, Toledo’s volatility was the only thing stopping him from achieving his dream of a World Title. His high-flying act also makes him vulnerable to injury and his early youthful passion has led to a series of costly mental errors (he was suspended for one event in 2017 for his behavior in the wake of an interference call).{{Cite web |title=Filipe Toledo Surfer Bio {{!}} Age, Height, Videos & Results |url=https://www.worldsurfleague.com/athletes/1456/filipe-toledo |access-date=2022-05-08 |website=World Surf League |language=en}} He currently rides Sharp Eye Surfboards with a FCS II fin setup.{{Cite web |title=Filipe Toledo |url=https://www.sharpeyesurfboards.com/team/filipe-toledo |access-date=2022-04-06 |website=Sharp Eye Surfboards Inc |language=en}}
