Things get interesting as the tour enters the variable beach breaks of Brazil. Saquarema the new site location used last year, is a very consistent and powerful beach break northeast of Rio, that picks up more swell then anywhere in Rio de Janeiro surfing area. With that in mind you should look for a Fantasy team that includes surfers that are quick on their feet and can push the limits of progression while still being super consistent.

After having a bizarrely unlucky start to the year, and having his highly anticipated Margarets showing cut of this year by shark fears, we thing Jon Jon will be ready to dominate at an event he has loved in the past. Italo is on a real tear at the moment, and his critical turns along with crazy aerial antics will make him hard to beat. Julian is looking so sharp this year, he could go all the way, and the cool heads of Adriano and Kanoa will be hard to beat. Wade has a real buckets of spray approach that should be a real standout and Seabass is looking so fresh and happy, he could just good vibe his way to the podium. Yago Dora had a breakout performance taking out all the big guys last year with high performance surfing, so watch out for him!
The event starts on the 11th of May in Brazil, so get your team in and enjoy the action.
