The thing with this event, and the whole sport of surfing for that matter, is that it's so unpredictable and wide open that half the entries in each category have a realistic shot at getting a quota. 

Exactly, it's quite difficult to predict the qualified athletes. Despite the fact I think this @Josh's list is very precise, I can't take out some athletes like Kemp , Barton , Resano ...

 

And we can have  some surprises. Last ISA Siqi Yang finished close to TOP 30. I was shocked with her performance from a Chinese athlete only 14-years-old. Now, she will compete again, and I could bet that she is gonna bother so many favorites.

Can't wait for this, one of the most unpredictable events on the quality calendar. Hope  can sneak a quota. 

Will be interesting, but my confident opinion  based on complete 100% ignorance of the principles of either sport but my willingness to start a fight  is that surfing depends on physical strength, and that skateboarding depends on youthful flexibility.

I just hope one of the  athlete qualifies to the games. I love this sport and I think we have a strong enough squad to qualify. Hoping for one of our basque athletes to make it. Go

I am going to need login credentials and the address for an RDP session in order to look at this file.

I believe it is mostly core strength and balance from what I've been told. Surfing is one the few popular sports in California I haven't tried.

 

Flexibility might help in skateboarding, but its more just about board control and individual skill from what I can tell.

Hard to say at this moment, but he is one of the favorites for sure.
