The world title race
Thirty-two competitors. Eleven events. Seven months. Five continents. Two islands. It all comes down to this: One World Title, and one event to go. See who’s left in the race for 2017, how they stack up, and which surfer is closest to winning it all.

The Billabong Pipe Masters is where destinies unfold. For the four remaining athletes in the World Title race, Hawaii will be the final challenge before a 2017 Champion is crowned. One of the most technical waves on Tour, Pipe is the last test in the season-long gauntlet of pre-dawn warm-ups, conditions that run the gamut, and the highs, lows and intense pressure that come with a Title campaign.
Four athletes in the race
After the carnage of a tough tenth stop in Peniche, Portugal, just four surfers are left in the 2017 Title race: World No. 1 and reigning World Champion, John John Florence; World No. 2 Jordy Smith; World No. 3 Gabriel Medina; and World No. 6 Julian Wilson – any of whom could rise to the occasion at Pipe.
