Back your predictions here.  

In a study we ran on site last week, we discovered that Gabriel Medina has lost more heats to buzzer beaters than anyone else over our 2.5-year study period, totaling four defeats.

Two of those late exchange losses have come in the last two events — Bells and Margs.

Despite that, Tahitian local Tahurai Henry chose Medina as his #1 Betonline.ag pick for the SHISEIDO Tahiti Pro. 

Interestingly, one of his other picks — Jack Robinson — is on the other end of the buzzer-beater spectrum from Medina. Robbo has the most buzzer-beater chances converted into wins of any male surfer in the last 2.5 seasons, with a total of four.

Would anybody mind a repeat of last year’s final? No? Same.

See all of Tahurai’s picks above, and their odds below.
