OWEN & MICK ARE BACK!

#itson this year I have decided to return to surf the full year on the @wsl with the class of 2017 looking so amazing would have been a hard one to sit out on! Let the show begin going to be an incredible year! I personally want to thank the @WSL for allowing me to take some time away and my sponsors for supporting me all the way. ?? @ripcurl_aus @redbullau @reef @dragonalliance @dhdsurf @skullcandy @creaturesofleisure @vertra @fcs_surf @grapes @balterbrewers ? @corey_wilson #7 A post shared by Mick Fanning (@mfanno) on Mar 6, 2017 at 1:29pm PST

THE ROOKIE CLASS

Stuart Kennedy: Proven prowess, especially in right hand pointbreaks.

Ethan Ewing: unknown in the big leagues, but tons of promise.

Zeke Lau: the most potential, but the also the most volatile?

Connor O’Leary: the next Ace Buchan?

Frederico Morais: He’s consistent and has a record of giant-killing, but a bit unexciting.

Joan Duru: He’ll fall the way of Dion Atkinson

Leonardo Fioravanti: Really well-rounded and a proven competitor.

Ian Gouveia: Maybe the next Alex Ribeiro?
