This new 33″ Holy Toledo model is simply one of the best SmoothStar models in our 10 year history. This is the signature pro model of 26 year old Brazilian pro surfer Filipe Toledo. The “Holy Toledo” is Filipe’s nick name due to his radical progressive surfing. Filipe and SmoothStar combined together to produce a surf skate that has high performance but able to be ridden by all surfers. The Holy Toledo has the drive of the SmoothStar 35.5″ Manta Ray but the critical turns of the 32″ Flying Fish.
The 31.5” Holy Toledo is suited to teenage to adult surfers 5”4’ – 5”10’
(162cm – 177cm) in height. The Holy Toledo is the original signature
model of World Top 3 surfer Filipe Toledo. The 31.5” has a shallow
concave and is suited to surfers who wish to pump and generate
speed on flat sections. The 31.5” Holy Toledo is also considered
the step up board from the 30” Flying Fish, as it shares the same
concave profile but has more width, length, and wheelbase.
The model name “Holy Toledo” was inspired by Filipe’s nickname
when he was 16 years of age – a result of his radical and progressive
surfing style. Toledo loved the looseness of the 30” Flying Fish, but
needed a bit more drive so a design was created extending all the
measurements.
The design of the deck design features many aspects of Filipe including his green eyes and the Toledo family tattoo. On the deck, it has the Filipe Toledo trademark aerial assault. It is finished in a sandy yellow/blue/grey.
The deck concave and tail is perfect for surf carving the streets. The deck is wider than most other skateboards so it helps your keep your line when you are drawing out your bottom and top turns.
