Vivo Rio Pro Fantasy Picks Preview 2024

[@calebmiller4102]

I think John could take a semis here, I don't think he'll win but he's really good at rio even when its not that good life last year. People forget how good he is at lefts if they run at ituana. Looks like he's back to doing big airs again looked like last year he was afraid to hurt his knees again. Medina is my power surfer for the moment because he looks like he wants to make the final five but it would be so awesome to see Jordy make it because he's one of my favorites for sure.

Good analysis. I'm still on the fence about Tier A. I'm going to make the call day of the Live Show.

[@skone0136]

I got 1023.62 points, most points i have ever got ever. 10,375th in world

[@OldSurfDad]

The game is ruthless! ha! That's a great score. I had similar results and wasn't even close to winning my own league. 🤣

[@GlennPolicare]

OSD, can you put a spread sheet together calculating what would happen after Gland for Lowers regarding scores? ie if JJ gets 1st, he would have 57540. 2nd gets him 55340 and so on would be interesting to see and that those in the 6 7 8 9 spots currently as to what they have to do to make Lowers would take some time, but would be cool to see

[@OldSurfDad]

I reached out to my stat magician and hopefully will have that presented in the Fiji video!

[@benneebean8199]

All jjf has to do is compete in Fiji and even if he loses first round he will still be number 1 in wsl finals. The only way he will be number two is if he doesn't compete in Fiji and griffin wins fiji

Great Interview questions! Seems like your content is getting better and better every show.

[@OldSurfDad]

[@OldSurfDad]

Thanks for being part of the community!

[@GlennPolicare]

Yew!!!!! Epic work on the compilation from throne to cellar

[@OldSurfDad]

Thanks for the inspiration my man!

[@BigZ_4i20]

Soo cool to see you meeting up with Ícaro

[@OldSurfDad]

I'm pretty stoked about it. Now we have Brazil, US and Oz!

[@gregsmith5357]

Hi Dave, another great vid, cheers man. Do you have any gossip on wether Bells is on next year. Everyone is saying Margaret river is on but no-one said anything about Bells. Slightly concerned.

[@bartonfletcherpov]

Bells, snapper and margs are all locked in until 2028 with government contracts, margs with the cut part of the deal

[@OldSurfDad]

@@bartonfletcherpov I think this is right, but I haven't heard that Bells was on the list. I would be shocked if it wasn't.

[@skatearmyy]

Griff Got Robbed @ Punta Roca, He is due for a win... Great Coverage as usual!! Thanks OSD..

[@OldSurfDad]

I'm on the fence and may pick Griff in Tier A.🤔

[@bryandornan6108]

Another great show bro. I like your takes.

[@OldSurfDad]

Thanks for being a long time part of the co9mmunity!

[@willgeorge9205]

Do you think they will run at Itauna, or Barrinha? PS is it bad that I have locked back into watching the CT again now John is on a tear?

[@Wetsand348]

Although the waves at barrinha will probably be better during the waiting period, they didn't set up the structure. So it's almost guaranteed to happen at Itauna

[@OldSurfDad]

The surf forecast has changed a lot and Barrinha needs a proper swell and it doesn't look like its setting up for that.

[@OldSurfDad]

@@Wetsand348 Thanks for reporting from the event site! Nice.

[@Jd-le8sq]

Lets go Yago I need to surfive to Fiji

[@OldSurfDad]

Whoa, you still alive in Surfival ?

[@Jd-le8sq]

Yeah still in it. Lost out in Brazil last year by choosing Felipe over Yago. Wouldve made final with that switch, since i had Jack for tahiti. If I get to Fiji event down to Baron, Jordy or lower seed goofy

[@roguebossa]

better watch out for that Yago Dora thing

[@Wetsand348]

Hoping Yago wins this event. I would love to see him in the final 5

[@OldSurfDad]

Man, he just missed last year and he's looking really in tune now. He almost didnt make the Cut and now look at him!

[@Wetsand348]

@@OldSurfDad from last place after the cut to world title contender. That would be a great story

[@Jd-le8sq]

got the surfival email only 38 remaining!
