Surfboard Talk with Filipe Toledo & Lakey at the WSL Fresh Water Pro by Noel Salas Ep.3

[@davidvesseur2161]

Filipe is such a genuine dude! He's the man

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

David Vesseur Absolutely... one my favorites for sure.

[@hughess005]

Cool how the pros you interviewed were so comfortable talking openly and “normally” about their equipment. Their responses felt so ... genuine ... unlike most post-heat “talking points” interviews. Whether WSL picks you up or not, I hope you continue to get access like this and share the goods. Way to keep upping the Surf ‘n Show game.

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

Sean Hughes I hope the WSL continues this sort of content. Each athlete is so different and I really enjoyed listening to them all. Cheers

[@kenkohncke7929]

Excellent as always Noel! Very interesting to see Lakey on a Large fin, did not expect that!

[@henrikminassian8747]

Geeking out on the board talk mate, well done again. Really good insight into the EPS being too light. And the specifics on materials and ideal weight... Gold!

[@Felix-mr1vs]

That was super interesting, thank you Noel! Also big thanks the Pros and shapers (if you read this) for sharing your insights! I would love to see more like this. France/Portugal/Brazil beach break boards vs. Bells/J Bay point break. Smaller contest days vs. better days, etc..

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

Felix Lux I would like that too!!! Good stuff

[@hayleygordon7969]

Need more interviews like this! Lakey talking fins answered so many questions I've been having

[@vanislandsurf]

Honestly WSL should invite you to all events to talk boards with surfers and shapers. Who is it, Peter King? Not sure... but they do a horrible job on the WSL talking boards.

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

vanislandsurf I’m not sure who it is either.... it’s not a big focus of there’s. Hopefully one day it will be as I think a lot of their community finds it interesting. Cheers

[@izandevainmyheart1129]

If it's the Peter King I knew he was a really good surfer from La Jolla sort of following after Richard Kenvin who was after Chris O rourke. Good guy but irritating.

[@doublestrokeroll]

just love Toledo's airs. so smooth looking.

[@fritter1287]

yeah noel! great stuff, completely original and so informative super thankful for your work. keep up the good work! love the fin talk. so important and so ignored...we need more info!

[@kevintyrer45]

[@catinthehat8412]

Great info as always, Noel. Always good to see these beasts interviewed by someone they obviously respect! 🤘🏻🤙🏼

[@Coleman73]

Great Job Noel! Yew!

[@MrRubasso]

Thanks, Noel! Great content!

[@JuanMartin-xx2ff]

You are the man! saludos desde argentina

[@kingsofmayhem]

Great show Noel...digging the fin talk.

[@kostasgoulas3625]

I think that Toledo's board is more backfoot compared to Medina's which I think it looks more as afrontfoot board. Also I thought Felipe's right wave performance was more difficult since the repertoire consisted an air immediately after the barrel which is more difficult from Medina's aerial since he had more time to focus in the manouver. Correct me if I am wrong

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

KOSTAS GOULAS Sorry not in judging mode on this stuff.... I would have to see both waves from beginning to end and put on my judging hat.

[@freddesmet259]

Noel again great perspective on both board and the wave pool. Were you able to actually ride a few yourself? Would be nice to hear your take on the wave itself.

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

Fred DeSmet Not yet... hopefully I will to get a few waves at Kelly’s pool one day soon.

[@OUTDOORSWITHDOMINGO]

Epic stuff Noel , you are def in with the WSL !!!!

[@mitchellmabry912]

This was too good.

[@miguelgalllego]

Amazing stuff Noel, very impressive about Lakey riding Large KA fins at only 130lb

[@GoliathFins]

Great videos as always. Love the new format Noel. I think that small wiry guys like Filipe and yourself are always going to do better on smaller waves like this. In my experience, us bigger guys like Occy, Sunny, Wade, Jordy, Panda etc will always be at a disadvantage in smaller stuff. I've been looking for a board that's good for big people in small surf for a while. I think I've found one, which I'll be reviewing on my channel soon. What are your thoughts on surfer size / weight vs wave height?

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

Big Guy Boards Surfboard Review Never really thought about it. Obviously a bigger guy will Surf better on a bigger wave with more power. The real challenge is to be a big guy like Jordy and shred the small stuff.... that small surf is 90% of the time at my house.

[@GoliathFins]

@@surfnshowreviews7777 yeah, I also get a lot of small stuff here in the UK, which I struggle on. I much prefer a wave with a bit more push. For me it highlights how good an all rounder Jordy is. I'd love to see him win a well deserved world title.

[@surfnshowreviews7777]

Big Guy Boards Surfboard Review Absolutely he shreds in all wave types. Worthy of a World Title for sure.

[@samthegronk]

you are connecting with everyone straight away. everyone is sounding more human if that makes sense. great content follows through. We need a change.org campaign to get noel on the tour!!

[@backslider_bob]
