Cloudbreak hasn’t been over three feet in the past week.

Great for the golfers and ping pong experts on Tour, not so great for those live, eat and breathe high octane surfing.

Just before we arrived however, the prospective WSL Finals location flexed its traps for a few Top-5ers who decided to arrive in Fiji early. That includes a good chunk of the Red Bull team — here for a pre-event training camp — world number one Yago Dora, and an 11-time world champ who just couldn’t help himself.

With this footage in hand — courtesy of Scotty Hammonds and Red Bull — we just cooked up our pre-event betonline picks with 2x Fiji CT champ and general surf oracle Damien Hobgood.

Watch above for some raw Fijian surfing and Damo’s picks toward the end of the clip.

Damo’s picks:
Men: Yago and Jack
Women: Molly and Caroline
