World champ Filipe Toledo launched a new YouTube series back in September titled, Peace & Power.
It’s apparent Toledo isn’t the busiest surf vlogger since he just dropped the second episode of the docuseries. But after the first debuted, he claimed his second world title. So, he’s been busy with other stuff.
As our own Zander Morton pointed out a while back, Toledo became only the seventh male surfer to claim a world title back-to-back, sharing the claim to fame with Mark Richards, Tom Carroll, Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, and John John Florence.
In the latest episode of Peace & Power, viewers get an inside look at Toledo’s life and thoughts.
Toledo captioned the vlog above:
“Presented by Hurley, the project explores Filipinho’s trajectory during the year 2023, his quest for a second world championship, and his dream of representing Brazil at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
“The second episode of the Peace & Power series shows an intimate side of the life of the current world surfing champion like no one has ever seen before, sharing the highs and lows of his career and showing behind the scenes of the relentless pursuit of excellence to reach the top of the sport.
“Throughout the episode, Filipinho brings memories about his career, the pros and cons of moving to California, the importance of family for his personal and professional side, preparations for the Finals, and the fight against his inner demons and mental health.
“It also includes testimonies from family members who spoke about the legacy that Filipe will leave, not only as a high-level athlete.
Full disclosure, that was run through Google Translate.
If you don’t speak Portuguese, you’ll need to turn on the English subtitles. But it’s easy to do, and well worth the effort.
