We all love build-ups for major <strong>surfing events<\/strong> and at Atlantik Surf we have to admit we love <strong>Jefferson&#8217;s Bay<\/strong>, it&#8217;s just a brilliant spot with incredible and perfect waves and tubes where we always get plenty of show-time from many surfers, but who won it last year?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filipe Toledo won the 2017 edition!<\/strong> According to the World Surf League, &#8220;In 2017, in perhaps the best conditions seen ever throughout the event&#8217;s illustrious 37-year history, Filipe Toledo <strong>became the first Brazilian to claim the Corona Open J-Bay<\/strong>.&#8221; But will he be the last Brazilian to win it or will we see another Brazilian win this 2018 edition?<\/p>\n<p>If you take a look at current rankings, you might spot out that <strong>out of the 10 first title contenders, there are 5 Brazilians<\/strong> : Filipe Toledo (2), Italo Ferreira (3), Gabriel Medina (4), Willian Cardoso (5) and Michael Rodrigues (10). It&#8217;s difficult to believe that these guys won&#8217;t be able to win in <strong>South Africa<\/strong>. But you know, if you think you know about surf and wanna take bets, better make them at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stakers.com\/\">Stakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We at <strong>Atlantik Surf<\/strong> want to take risks and bet for somebody and we think it&#8217;s going to be one of these three guys: Filipe Toledo, Gabriel Medina or Jordy Smith. The last one is the guy from South Africa, so he knows the spot better than anybody, he just needs a good couple of days to get good scores, We bet he&#8217;s getting in shape right now.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, if Julian Wilson wins this, then depending on Filipe Toledo&#8217;s final ranking he will increase the diffrence in points and it might be quite difficult to reach him with only 5 more events at stake. Can&#8217;t wait for it to start !
