#Tournotes: The Insider Talk You Won’t See On The Webcast

Mana: A pervasive or supernatural power. Julian Wilson just found his “mana” with his first place finish at Chopes. Mick roared for it. He knows it because Mick, certainly, has “mana”.

Jordy just took the yellow jersey; there’s been discussion about this being Jordy’s year. But, there’s also been discussion about John, Wilko, Owen and even Kelly, who’s currently nursing a stapled stump and previously listened to a webcast filled with his first name followed by “void”. They say, for a man to be victorious, he must win first, then go to war. The WSL will have you believe this is war; this is a showdown, this is the new era of surfing – it isn’t cut throat but it sure is imposed in big bold letters. Let that heart bash against your chest; in 2017 surfing thrills!

Peter King has just released his newest episode of #Tournotes, all the best action from the boats. In surfing, it’s the closest glimpse into life on tour. So here are the scenes from finals day that you can’t get from Joey Turpel or the 1989 world champ.
