Dorian's Doghouse: Shane Dorian's Picks For Billabong Pro J-Bay
J-Bay is the perfect right hand pointbreak. Or is it?
Got what it takes to enter Dorian's Doghouse?

It sure looks
that way, but Supertubes is actually a very tricky to surf. In fact it's the
kind of wave that either makes you look like an amazing surfer or a
total kook. That goes for WCT surfers as well. The wave suits surfers
with a quick, down the line point-break style of surfing. If you are
slow, or try to fit in too many turns, the wave will blow right past
you. I tried to focus on that when selecting my fantasy team for the Billabong Pro at J-Bay.
Notice I only have one goofyfoot surfer. The rest are strong
regular-foots (I got all the Superbank boys) that have the kind of
approach J-Bay likes to see. I think this is my best team so far. Here it is.
Kelly Slater- Will have the most radical and critical
approach. If his rhythm is on, will be hard to beat. He assured me this morning that he has a quiver full of magic merricks.
Occy- Bananas on his backhand. The only goofyfoot
to really stand out consistently at J-Bay. Low center of gravity and ample power make for big scores.
Greg Emslie- A solid choice for a small price. The most J-Bay experience out of any of the top 44. Has done well there in the past.
