After trying different brands, the Thruster by Smoothstar captivated the Brazilian. And its these skates that let you carve and do cutback as if you were on a surfboard.

The Holy Toledo 33” uses the same concave board as the Flying Fish 32” by Somoothstar, but with a square tail instead of a swallow tail. Filipe preferred this tail shape for the skate to get the same sensations as his favorite round square surfboard tail. It’s a skateboard made for riders between 162cm – 183cm with a weight between 55kg – 85kg. This skate is focused pm high performance training, with more pronounced concaves to help maintain the compression when turning and a wheelbase of 54cm. All of that make this into a perfect tool to train technique and postures out of the water. Great for closed backside turns and to make profound bottom turns.
