Well? I’m asking you. The facts on the ground, today, show the only Brazilian surfer currently headed to the Lower Trestles final’s day is Caio Ibelli. Filipe Toledo is below the cutline though still a favorite to win it all because Lower Trestles, Italo Ferreira barely making the mid-season cull and Gabriel Medina home nursing a hurt spirit.
So is this it? The official end of the Brazilian Storm or merely a beautiful almond shaped eye of respite in its middle?
Do the Brothers Pupo come up big and surprise and hammer all-comers?
What about Baby Chumbo?
It’s a heavy comedown from last year, certainly, with the title all but guaranteed a Brazilian for the foreseeable future and who would have seen Hawaii returning to dominance. Two in the top five heading over to Europe. Neither named John or John.
Exciting days.
