Searching for the 2018 World Championship of Surfing title by Paulo Piqueres surfworldtour.blogspot.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly the World Circuit of Surfing by WSL - World Surf League in its 4th stop, arrived in Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with two leaders of the Jeep Leaderboard Ranking: the Australian J. Wilson(AUS) 3rd position in the last season of the elite of World Surfing; and the Brazilian I. Ferreira(BRA)23rd position one. J. Wilson(AUS) reached the Semifinals of the event - CT#4, but was defeated by the great "highlight" F. Toledo(BRA)10th position in 2017 final Ranking. J. Wilson(AUS)kept his position in the top of the Ranking, and will wear the Yellow Jersey in Keramas beach, Bali, Indonesia; the 2018 OI RIO PRO champion F. Toledo(BRA)reached the second position in the Ranking with the small difference of 1,340 points behind the leader after the Brazilian event, and I. Ferreira(BRA) felt down to the third position. The Brazilian surfer was defeated prematurely by the 2017 highlight, Y. Dora(BRA)in the Round 3.
The talentous G. Medina(BRA)surfer of Maresias beach, São Sebastião(SP)was defeated in the Quarterfinals by the 2018 "highlight" in Saquarema, the rookie W. Carmichael(AUS)however the 2014 World Champion went up in the Ranking from the 7th position to the fourth one. G. Medina(BRA)surfed very well in Saquarema, won the heats in the Round 1, the Round 3 and the Round 4, but did not "find" the waves in the Quarterfinals. For his searching for the second World Champion title, was excellent to keep in the top positions, otherwise he would have to run behind the leaders as in the last season, when he won two events in row, in France and Portugal, and arrived in Pipeline, Hawaii, with less chances to be World Champion by the two-time, and the Hawaiian J.J. Florence clinched by second time in row the World Championship of the elite at home - Hawaiian waters-.
The two-time World Champion J.J. Florence(HAW)is not reaching a good performance in the current season; the Hawaiian was defeated prematurely in Gold Coast (Round 2) and Bells(Round 3)both events in Australia, but will fight in the Round 3 of Margaret River, that was cancelled, that will be disputed after Corona Bali Protected. Anyway is still early, there are eight events yet to be finished. We never may suppose anything about the "great" champions as the two-time World Champion. In the last season who could imagine that G. Medina(BRA)would win two events in row, but the Brazilian surfer "won"(France and Portugal).
The 2015 World Champion, A. de Souza(BRA)surfer of Guarujá(SP)is in the 17th position in the WSL ranking; in this season the World Champion was prematurely out of the competition in Saquarema, when was defeated by I. Gouveia(BRA)in the Round 2;in the last season, A. de Souza(BRA)won all the heats he disputed, and was the great "highlight" in Brazilian event.I. Gouveia(BRA)son of the former surfer F. Gouveia(BRA)surfed very well in Barrinha beach, overcame A. de Souza(BRA) and J. Smith(SAF)in the Round 3; He was the third in the Round 4 in Itaúna beach, in a yellow-green heat, against M. Rodrigues(BRA) and F. Toledo(BRA).
M. Rodrigues(BRA)also surfed very well in Saquarema, overcame M. Wilkinson(AUS)5th in 2017 WSL Ranking in the Round 2;and defeated the Portuguese F. Morais(PRT)in the Round 3, and was defeated in the Quarterfinals by the Yellow jersey J. Wilson(AUS). By other hand, the Hawaiian E. Lau(HAW) also surfed very well in Saquarema with more confidenceand reached his best result in the elite, the Semifinals when was defeated by the "highlight" W. Carmichael(AUS).
The negative surprise in Saquarema was the weak performance of experienced surfers in the World Circuit,as the Australians O. Wright(AUS)6th position in last season; M. Wilkinson(AUS)5th position in 2017 Ranking; A. Buchan(AUS)the vice-champion in 2017 OI RIO PRO; the South African J. Smith(SAF)4th position in 2017 WSL ranking and chmapionof 2013 Billabong Rio Pro in Postinho, Barra da Tijuca;the Tahitian ; M. Bourez(PYF)champion of 2014 Billabong Rio Pro in Rio de Janeiro.
The rookie W. Carmichael(AUS)-the "hightlight" surfed very well in Barrinha and Itaúna beaches;The Australian surferhas a different style, maybe not so fast in the manuevers, but well positioned in the surfboard in the "tubes" for instance, and with excellent reading of the waves. W. Carmichael(AUS)is the 5th position in Jeep Leaderboard Ranking after the event in Brazil.This event was my 11th in Brazil since 2008, I remember in 2015 when the 2008 Hang Loose Pro Santa Catarina champion(my first event in the World Circuit of surfing) B. Durbidge(AUS)disputed the Final against F. Toledo(BRA) in Postinho, Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro; the Australian said in the podium after the the duel on the water, "I am so happy... however I had to face F. Toledo(BRA)..." I guess the same could be said by W. Carmichael(AUS).
Bali
------
The first top surfers will arrived in Bali with conditions to clinch the top of the Jeep Leaderboard Ranking, but J. Wilson(AUS)and F. Toledo(BRA)are a little ahead and mainly the winner of 2018 OI Rio Pro,that is in great "shape" in this season with excellent performance in the manuevers as aerials, tubes, and so on. We can not forget that in 2015 season, F. Toledo(BRA) arrived in Pipeline(read the posts of surfworldtour.blogspot.com), Hawaii with the best conditions to be World Champion, but was defeated by the local M. Ho(HAW). Maybe his time to be World champion is arriving. He is son of the former surfer Ricardo Toledo -Brazilian Champion of Surfing- besides "Filipinho" is father by the second time, just two days before the event in Saquarema, his second son "koa" was born and the surfer dedicated the "win" to his son. He has more experience now besides is living in California, and won the event in Trestles last season. F. Toledo(BRA)disputed six Finals in the World Circuit and won all the "duels" on the water, reaching 100% performance.
So let's wait what will happen in the Corona Bali Protected...
Margaret River
-------------------
Right after the Corona Bali Protected will be restarted the event of Margaret River, Australia that was cancelled due shark activity in the competition area. I just started working with professional surf in 2008 in Hang Loose Pro, in Imbituba, Santa Catarina,but I guess this situation of two events together never happened before in the World Circuit. So will be disputed 20,000 -twenty thousand points in Indonesia. The Margaret River event will be disputed in Uluwatu beach. The Women's event will be restarted in the Quarterfinals;and the Men's in the Round 3. We can not predict the future, however for instance a surfer in the10th position in the current Jeep Leaderboard Ranking can leave Indonesia in the top of Ranking, with the Yellow Jersey in the luggage???
Let's wait for...

I just started working with professional surf in 2008 in Hang Loose Pro, in Imbituba, Santa Catarina,but I guess this situation of two events together never happened before in the World Circuit. So will be disputed 20,000 -twenty thousand points in Indonesia. The Margaret River event will be disputed in Uluwatu beach. The Women's event will be restarted in the Quarterfinals;and the Men's in the Round 3. We can not predict the future, however for instance a surfer in the10th position in the current Jeep Leaderboard Ranking can leave Indonesia in the top of Ranking, with the Yellow Jersey in the luggage???
Let's wait for...

The Brazilian defeated the rival by 17.10 to 8.00. With the title, Filipe Toledo climbed up to the vice-leadership in the World Ranking of WSL, behind only of Julian Wilson.

The Brazilian surfer had great performance in the Final. In the last wave, surfed an incredible tube, scoring 9.93(in a previous wave, he already scored 7.17)
-It was incredible to win in my home, my backstage. I was feeling a kind of strange in the eve. I had a small problem in the stomach, but yesterday I was ready to the Finals, in the interview to the organizers.
The Australian Carmichael - that entered in the competition as 16th in the Ranking - finalized the championship as one of the highlights and surprises of the stage, overcame Gabriel Medina in the Quarterfinals. Other three "brazucas" also were defeated in the Quarterfinals: Michael Rodrigues and Yago Dora.

After, faced Kolohe Andino(USA)in the Quarterfinals and won by 13.84 to 11.93. After, in the Semifinals overcame the number 1 Julian Wilson, with 16.37. The Australian scored 5.63.
