The Inside Track invites professional surfing’s most entertaining pundits to wager their picks for upcoming ASP World Tour events. We pick up where we left off with the 2013 Rip Curl Pro Portugal.

We’re entering the final stretch of the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour, and five men remain as contenders: Mick Fanning, Kelly Slater, Jordy Smith, Taj Burrow, and Joel Parkinson. The various scenarios have been hashed out, and only one thing remains: competition. Now, enter the dragon.

Antonio Nielsen is the editor of Portugal’s OnFire Surf Magazine. We’ve never met him in person, but he emails like a champ. Antonio’s pick: Taj Burrow

Zach Weisberg is the obnoxiously optimistic curly-haired fellow who started this silly website. He believes in beachbreaks, Will Smith, and candy. Zach’s pick: Kelly Slater

Tetsuhiko is The Inertia’s Surf Editor. At some point in time, his writing has probably pissed you off. Which is a good thing. And he can breakdance. Ted’s pick: Gabriel Medina
