Hawaii's five-time world champion Carissa Moore and Brazil's reigning title holder Filipe Toledo head into the Rip Curl WSL Finals in California in the coming days as the top ranked surfers and favourites to add to their world title tallies.
"Filipe will be very tricky to beat," said Tom Carroll, a two-time world champion from Australia."He's coming off a really big year, and he's in really commanding form at this wave particularly. Ewing flew out to California from Australia last week saying his rehab had been going well and his pain levels had dropped significantly after breaking his back barely a month ago in Tahiti.
Toledo, 28, lost to countryman Gabriel Medina in the title match-up at the inaugural WSL Finals in 2021 before beating Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Italo Ferreira last year to claim his first world title.
