Tyler might not have started the year with a win, but her brother did – and our bet is that was a catalyst for the success, and motivation, we’ve seen in our World Champ throughout 2017.

In this moment, happy was an understatement. TW, behind the scenes of her brother’s big win at Snapper.

An emotional start to the year is an understatement – but no two siblings could have handled it more gracefully.

Over to Western Australia we go…

In WA the Rip Curl crew stay in the same house together, and it’s like getting one big family back together after a few months away. You can’t get ‘em away from each other – even in the surf.

If there’s anyone who knows how to paint a line of an empty canvas in Victoria, it’s Tyler Wright. Tyler had one of her best sessions out here this year, and the stoke showed through in her surfing.

Here, ladies and gentleman, is what it takes to win in Rio…

And this, ladies and gentleman, is what it looks like to win in Rio.

We’re not going to tell you what Tyler is doing in this photo, but… there’s a reason she’s hanging off the side of the boat.

This year Tyler took the time to go to South Africa and join forces with Wild Ark, learning about and spreading word about the conservation efforts currently underway in SA.
Kirstin Scholtz
She also, as it happened, got the chance to stop in at Jeffrey’s Bay. This was her very first surf at the infamous right-hander.

The future of women’s surfing is a big part of Tyler’s drive.

Tyler hadn’t really fumbled all year up until this point, when she tried to surf with a fresh knee injury – a knee injury that had her World Title contention in question.
Poullenot
Until France, that is – when everyone saw what someone with determination like Tyler is truly capable of.
Ed Sloane
Between Portugal and France Tyler spent hours upon hours consulting and working with physios, osteos, chiros, doctors and everyone inbetween – and in this moment, it was about to pay off.
Ed Sloane
Yup, there it is.

A release of emotion, of stress, and of being unsure. Tyler Wright, back in the World Title race.
