Brand Rip Curl Media Surfing World (BRS) Rider Luke Swanson

Intrinsic Motivation | Luke Swanson

Luke Swanson's Year of Lockdown on the North Shore.

In 2019, we first showcased the freakish talent of Luke Swanson when he initially joined the RC Team. By then, it was already clear that he may just be one of the best above (and under) the lip juniors around.

Fast forward two years, a couple North Shore winters, countless contests and a year of lockdown, the now 17-year-old has developed an even bigger bag of tricks along with fine-tuning his mental game.

Luke took the winter to deconstruct his surfing with the help of North Shore legend and coach, Ross Williams.

“We’ve been really working on my approach and mind set going into every single wave. What should I do here, what would have I done in the past… really analyzing everything. The pressure was kind of off this winter, it was great to have that freedom to work on things.”

Whether you’re well aware of Luke’s talent or if this is your first time his name has graced your screen - tap above to watch a relaxed Luke Swanson tear apart his beloved North Shore lineups.

TWO BRAZILIAN WORLD CHAMPS ARE CHASING THE LEADER'S JERSEY GOING INTO FINALS DAY

It's time for the business end of the Rip Curl Newcastle Cup presented by Corona, and with more swell on the way and a likely Finals Day set for Saturday (local time) there's still several World Champions chasing the win as well as the Yellow Leader's Jersey.

World Champions continue Their Charge
Justice isn't done to how shallow and powerful the shorebreak is on the broadcast - there would be real consequences to coming unstuck on it, which makes the way surfers such as Gabriel Medina float over a few inches of sand especially dramatic. Medina was among the World Champions in the field who continued their run on Day 4 of competition, putting their boards and bodies on the line in the process.

But it was Four-time World Champion Carissa Moore however who provided what was hands down the biggest moment of the day as she progressed, boosting a huge air-reverse in her Quarterfinal against Johanne Defay.

Mick Fanning Is Back! 2021 WSL Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic Wildcard

3x Surfing World Champion Mick Fanning has been awarded the event wildcard for the upcoming Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic, the third stop on the World Surf League 2021 Championship Tour.

“One of the reasons why I chose Narrabeen was because if I came back at a place like J-Bay or a place like Bells, there would be probably more expectation for me to do well...” “I am excited to be back in a jersey,” said Fanning. “I haven’t really had a challenge in the last few years. I injured my knee in 2019 and then have been working towards getting a level of fitness and level of surfing that I was happy with. I’ve been training and working to get my knee back to one hundred percent. I wanted to get my surfing back to a level that I was happy with, as well. I feel like I am getting there. I’ve been working pretty hard in the last few months just personally, and then having this goal to be ready for this event has definitely kickstarted a bit of fire in there.”

Fanning’s event wildcard at Narrabeen will not only mark his first CT event since retiring in 2018 but 20 years since winning his first CT event — as a wildcard — at the 2001 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.
