FANTASY SURFER: PORTUGAL PREVIEW
ALL THE INFO YOU'LL NEED FOR THE 2017 MEO RIP CURL PRO
With Jordy Smith’s stumble at the recently completed Quik Pro France, the results of the 2017 Meo Rip Curl Pro will be incredibly important to this year’s title race. While it’s unlikely that we’ll see a World Champion crowned at this event as we did in 2016, the outcome will set the stage for the world title finale at the Pipe Masters. John John Florence has a slim lead over Smith, and Gabriel Medina is quickly catching up with them both after winning in France. Will Florence, Smith, or Medina dominate in Portugal and set themselves up in the driver’s seat for Pipe? We’ll have to wait and see.
