THE DIRT
Going Under the Surface of the New Top 44

Now that the average surf fan can compete for serious prizes in SURFER Magazine’s Fantasy Surfer competition, our annual Top 44 review has taken on added significance. In case you didn’t know, the surf world is a pretty incestuous place, so the average fantasysurfer.com player needs help competing against the surfing pros and industry heavies at their own game. This year, we’re doing our best to help you know as much as we do about the new crop of WCT talent. The following unflinching assessment of this year’s field is backed up with some stats and inside information that we’re privy to in our lofty positions (wink). Here’s hoping you put it to good use with your friends.
