THE SPOILER CORY LOPEZ, 29, FloridaVitals: 40% win rate in ’06. Average event result of 15. Behind the Numbers: After finishing third at Pipeline, he finished with the exact same results as Phil Mac and tied for 12th in the ratings. He, too, had five ninth-place finishes. Heading into 2007: Lopez’s creativity is best showcased in challenging, closeout conditions where maneuvers are hard to come by. That’s where he can rattle off moves others can’t. However, in longer, more drawn-out waves, the kinks in his style are exposed, and it’s hurting him. Lopez can’t afford another season of going through the motions. It’s gut-check time: Either fire up the afterburners, or prepare for the bubble. ADD CORY LOPEZ TO YOUR FANTASYSURFER.COM TEAM PRESENTED BY BOOST MOBILE |
