Foresight? Bets? Fantasy picks? What sea creature will Mick beat up this time? Maybe cracken? Maybe an orca? #MickFanning
Alright I know no one wants to hear this but I'm predicting a medina comeback if the waves stay small and conditions not prime for the veterans. He definitely turned it around last event and will continue to get better. Otherwise Mr. Slater will surely be in at least the semis.
first couple of days are gonna be small, nice bump days 4-8 then a lull then maybe something at the end of the period.
Hows flores going to go? I think he is still rattled from injury. How is CJ going to go? I think he is donezo. Seabass, Wilko, and Aritz are my dark horses.
I think it depends how much the CT wants a brazzo to win or if they want to run the contest in real conditions. If the contest is run in small conditions, I'll go Medina. If it's big, either Kelly or Owen Wright.
The wsl certainly doesn't make the forecast info readily available anymore. Chodes. They want you to fish it out of the "Morning Show". Lame sauce.
remember Jeremy flores perfect heat in super epic teahupoo quite some years ago?last year was probably the best iv got to watch live,atleast jjf and ks semi heat.they should save the big waves for the finals,i know mother nature doesn't work like that but its better to end with a slam then to have epic waves the whole contest,then the finals is 3ft and it turns into a Brazilian air show. where has jjf been?
no problem hopefully tomorrow we gonna see some action from the choo-poo. and then sunday morning i'll go surf being all foreign-waves on my mind... gonna have to get a little high.
