Sitting next to me is world renowned photog Ryan Miller, better known as @badboyryry.&lt;\\/strong&gt; A few rows up sits Dane Reynolds, CJ Hobgood, Filipe Toledo, Miguel Pupo, Alejo Muniz and who knows who else. Bula bitches! We do this.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Elite&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Nat Young&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nMy bure-mate from last year came up just short of his first career win. It was weird because normally people celebrate to the point of blacking out when making the final. Nat barely drank a beer. He\\u2019s that serious about winning and that\\u2019s why he won\\u2019t leave my team. Do one better mane.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Mick Fanning&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nSafety pick? Possibly, but I\\u2019m on Namotu this year and I need some horses.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maybe you should consider\\u2026&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adriano de Souza&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nMore people are rooting against ADS than ever this year but that\\u2019s life on the top. He can handle it and seriously, what condition doesn\\u2019t favor this guy? Bonus stat, his 1st round heat draw is an ADS walk through.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Grinders&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Gabriel Medina&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nThere\\u2019s no fanfare on Namotu. No girls crying when they see you. No Victoria Secret models posting selfies with you. This is a good thing for Gabby. He can get back to focusing on winning heats and I\\u2019ll be very surprised if he doesn\\u2019t do a lot of that.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Kelly Slater&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nTo quote T.I. \\u201cIf you don\\u2019t understand this you don\\u2019t understand english homeboy, I\\u2019m done talkin.\\u201d&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Wiggoly Dantas&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nGot the wildcard here last year and blew a good opportunity to make his Round 2 heat, but I saw the guy out there freesurfing literally every single session battling fat photographers (myself) for 3 foot mushburgers. He means business.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Taj Burrow&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAnother Namotu horse in the stable. Shit\\u2019s gonna get loose over there.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maybe you should consider\\u2026&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Miguel Pupo&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI didn\\u2019t really love his matchup in Round 1 but Miggy is silky smooth and bound to drop 8\\u2019s on the reg out here. On our Lakey Peak trip he was dominating the lefts.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Strugglers and Wildcards&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Freddy P&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nLast December in Hawaii I parked my rental car in Freddy\\u2019s driveway. I\\u2019m a dumbass and forgot to put the car in park. I\\u2019ll blame it on the push to start but it was probably the beer in my hand that distracted me from a routine operating procedure. It would\\u2019ve done serious damage to his fence but thankfully veered downhill perfectly into a fleet of trash cans that significantly softened the blow. It sent fireworks of garbage into the air and freaked a few people out but all was good in the hood.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;This has nothing to do with Fiji but I owe Freddy some new trash cans and I\\u2019ll throw in a spot on Passion Picks for free cause he\\u2019s the shit.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u2014\\u2014&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Dane Reynolds&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nCore Score (up): choosing to stay on Namotu.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Dane could\\u2019ve easily have requested the serenity of Tavarua but he didn\\u2019t. He selected Namotu and there\\u2019s something badass about that. Sleep is overrated. Skull Draggers are not. Plus, I\\u2019m assuming you\\u2019ve seen &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/video\\/dane-reynolds-in-sampler\\/\\\"&gt;Sampler&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maybe you should consider\\u2026&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;CJ Hobgood&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nCJ Hobgood on Fiji is like Honey Roasted BBQ sauce on a Chick-fil-A sandwich. It\\u2019s as good as it gets. I didn\\u2019t throw him on because I\\u2019m superstitious and it hasn\\u2019t worked in recent pasts.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;You should also consider Aritz Aranburu just for shits. How funny would if be if you did and he made the finals? You\\u2019d basically be Rainman. #worthit&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
