On the eve of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games we turn to our trusty readers to see who you believe will win the coveted Olympic Gold medal at Chopes.
Take our polls right here – we have one poll for the women and one for the men. The forecast is for waves in the 3-6 foot range – effectively ending any big-slab hunters’ advantage. The winners will be surfers who can shine in the range of conditions that will be on offer and those who can sniff out whatever barrels they can.
For our own Saffi Vette and Billy Stairmand, that will be welcomed news.
