Finals Day | Behind The Scenes with Gabriel Medina

The day of a World Title win is one of the most important days in an athlete’s life. Every aspect of the day, from the moment the athlete opens his eyes, through to the training, the warm-up, the focus and the celebration, is unique. It’s special. It’s these moments that culminate in the greatest victory an athlete can achieve – holding that World Title trophy up in the air, and knowing it’s theirs to keep.

FORWARD // The 2018 WSL Title Race

Progress drives surfing. Always has, always will. It's the creative force that takes our sport to new places and new heights, that leads to new rivalries, that mints new icons. Progress is what Shaun Tomson and Bugs, Occy and Tom Curren, Kelly and Andy and Mick all delivered. And now it's coming from a new place: Brasil. De Souza, Medina, Toledo -- they surf with a new kind of fire that has vaulted them to the very top of the sport, and won Brasil back-to-back Titles in 2014 and 2015. After Brasil dominated the 2018 tour, Medina and Toledo square off against Julian Wilson at the Banzai Pipeline for the Title, and the right to lead surfing Forward.

The Title Race // Medina vs. Wilson vs. Toledo

Three of the world's best surfers are ready to battle it out for the Title at Pipeline. World #1 Gabriel Medina, the first Brazilian World Champ ever, will look to become the first two-time Brazilian World Champ ever. To do that he's got to hold off #2 Julian Wilson, the only contender who has won Pipe before, and #3 Filipe Toledo, an explosive talent who can pull a 10 out of any wave.

The stage is set and it's all going down at the Billabong Pipe Masters beginning Dec 8th.
