Holy Toledo! Is this the best wave ever surfed?

Filipe Toledo has scored a perfect 10 at J-Bay with a ride that many are calling the best in competition surfing history.

The conditions have resulted in a number of perfect scores at J-Bay this week, but Toledo's in round four against Jordy Smith and Julian Wilson could top the lot.

"Probably one of the best waves ever in competition," Pete Mel said, while Shaun Tomson called it one of the greatest competitive rides he’d ever seen.

"The wind [is] really good for airs right now," Filipe told Rosy Hodge back on the beach.

"It's really hard to surf when it’s like this, to put your tail in the water. So I just had to go to the air, and it worked pretty good."
