An insider’s view of the 2007 World Surfi ng Tour and Mick Fanning’s
journey to the world championship
Mick Fanning and his brother Sean used to talk about some
day. They told each other that some day they would be on the
world tour together. They told each other that some day one
of them would become world champion. Some day may be just
around the corner
The Dream Tour follows the men’s world championship tour
around the world. It starts in Australia then goes to Tahiti, Chile,
South Africa, California, France, Spain, Brazil and Hawaii. Mick
Fanning is a runaway leader halfway through the tour, just two
years after he tore his hamstring clean off the bone. Then his
career seemed over. But sometimes, when a man embarks on a
mission, he can become impossible to stop.
A fanatical surfer, journalist Will Swanton followed the Dream
Tour for years. He has unprecedented access to the surfers
and their stories. He is now sports journalist for the Sun-Herald
and covers the world tour.
