So these are all soundproof and things?
Do I lean back into it or--
What's comfortable? You could lean on that arm
if that's comfortable.
-Okay. Sweet. -Yeah, yeah.
What was your first year as a rookie like?
My first year as a rookie? I won the World Title.
Morgan Cibilic, Matthew McGillivray
and Isabella Nichols are rookies on tour ready to take down their heroes.
My name is Isabella Nichols and it took me five years to qualify.
I have to make it work
but if you make any mistake, the other chicks are gonna eat you up for breakfast.
This is the Rip Curl house. Let's have a quick tour.
Yeah. Follow us.
Being a rookie, everybody's wanting to see how you perform
and if you're gonna succeed or crumble. It's your job on the line and your future.
Top floor.
That's Gabi's section there. Gabriel Medina.
The penthouse suite.
That's the best suite in the house. It's pretty luxury up in this room.
This is the dungeon.
This is where you start off when you first come stay here at the Rip Curl house.
We got the garage to our left which has all our-- all of Gabi's boards.
All of our boards just got chucked into this pile here.
And I'm usually downstairs 'cause I'm the grommet, the kid.
I guess I'm pretty much unknown.
-What was your name? -Morgan.
Morgan. All righty.
I've always been the underdog,
but it's a chance to beat, like, the best in the world.
Florence gets the exit.
Being a rookie on tour is not easy.
You're constantly trying to keep up with the level that's been put out there.
You're just thrown into this vortex and you do-- you sink or swim.
Back when I was, like, ten years old and just started surfing,
I was running around the beach trying to grab their autographs,
and now to be able to surf with them, I feel a bit starstruck.
Matt McGillivray trying to keep himself in this contest
at his first start here at the Pipe Masters.
As a rookie, you start with a really low seed,
then you always are gonna be up against a top-ten guy.
So, the chances of you coming through and beating the top seed,
almost impossible.
McGillivray, the rookie, gets detonated.
There you go, Joshy. We're on film.
I grew up in Newcastle.
And before I was on tour, I used to wash dishes out the back
for one of the pubs.
There's a few distractions down here, being around my mates,
that happen at nighttime.
Bit of drinking involved. I love all that kinda stuff.
-Did you go to The Prince? -Yeah, last night.
I haven't had much routine in my life before this.
I kinda just been waking up at 9:00 and going surfing all day
and then going to the pub at night.
-Hey, Morgs. -Yeah, Matty. What's happening?
-What are you doing? You good? -I'm just sitting around a fire.
Yeah, what you been up to in Aus?
Surfing, training, not too much. You?
Just been cruising. Getting ready for the flight.
Oh, yeah, when's that?
Tomorrow evening.
-Skit. See you, mate. -Be there soon.
This is where I've been living for the past couple days.
Oh, man. Smells pretty great in here.
I'm gonna start putting my curtains up.
It's advertised as the dream tour,
but it's really expensive traveling the world on tour.
You wanna figure out how to save money where you can.
You gotta keep the dream alive.
It's a water bottle and a pee bottle.
It's only once you get results on the tour that you start earning the bucks.
All systems go for the World Surf League comp
in Merewether.
The cream of the surfing crop in the men's and women's events will be on show.
-Hello, Matthew. -Hello, Bottie.
Lobby's coming around now.
Maybe he'll have a quick little game of fucking Bananagram with us…
-Yes. -…and go for a little surf maybe,
-if you can? -That sounds like a plan. Let's do it.
Bananagram. It's on.
Rookies are up against so many things in their first year on tour.
They've spent their entire Qualifying Series years working a side job,
just to be able to fund their dream.
And the risk for them is having to go back to just working a normal day job.
So, it's really important to get a coach who keeps them grounded
and focusing on competition.
Hey B man.
Sometimes I wish I was born rich, rather than good-looking.
My name's Jay Thompson, better known as Bottle in the surf industry.
I was a professional surfer myself.
I was on their tour for about three or four years.
And now, I'm a "surf coach." I don't like to be called a surf coach.
I feel like a coach can be a bit of a dictative role,
and I don't consider myself a dictator.
Seen my 5-star setup in here?
Boys have got me out in the living room.
They want some special time to themselves every night, so…
How did you get your nickname?
Should I say this on TV?
It's got something to do with my anatomy.
There's always that balancing act when you get on the World Tour.
But I think it's important to s-- I say, "smell the roses,"
and, you know, do a bit of venturing out and having a bit of fun from time to time.
-What's "jag"? -You jag a fish.
That's English?
What's that? "Feeds"?
Feeds-- Feeds the chickens.
-Just checking. -Just che--
-What's "quark"? -Quark.
-What's a "quark"? -It's a subatomic particle.
Oh, fuck.
Being a coach, it just doesn't, you know, stop on the water's edge.
Especially, you know, the-- my athletes are quite young.
Morgs is only 21, Matty's 24,
and, you know, they like a bit of a party, my boys.
At this high level on the World Tour,
a big part of, you know, I think my role is just emotional management.
You know, before the heats you get those-- all those raw emotions that come up.
So, you know how to help the athletes deal with that side of it.
So, a lot of the time we do little drills
that get you in that nice, relaxed intensity when you compete.
The waves are shitty. There's a lot of people in the water.
So being aware that you're gonna get little bit of negativity coming,
creeping in.
What this game is is memory, so you gotta find the pairs.
Once you flip two, if they're not pairs
-you gotta run to that line… -Yeah.
-…do one burpee… -Okay.
…come back, and repeat.
The remaining time, you gotta get out there and you only get one wave.
You only gonna get ten minutes.
Ready, set, go.
There you go. Jog, Matty.
Hey, Gabi. How are ya, mate?
I'm watching. Keep working.
Fuck!
Yes, Matty.
Matty's home.
Five minutes, one wave.
He had all his in the bottom corner.
Here's those excuses coming through, mate.
I don't get what you're doing.
I did the same one twice.
-Slow it down, mate. -I know.
When I was really little, I thought I was the best ever.
Then I started doing contests and I did so badly.
I'm the lowest-rated surfer going into this entire year,
so kinda feel a bit of pressure being in front of the home crowd
and I really wanna try put on a show for them. That'd be cool.
Attaboy.
Mate, you've got four minutes, mate.
I remember meeting Morgan when he was about 12.
And, you know, I saw his technique and stuff, and I was like,
"This kid's got something there,"
and I didn't see him again until he qualified and it was just, like, wow.
He's a kid that just wants to go out and just surf for himself,
but as a rookie at the top level you're looking at your heroes.
And you're going to compete against those guys.
And you gotta somehow push that to the side.
Matty! He's up!
Wow, he's lit that inside up.
Matty's been training hard.
He had a good little fitness and diet routine. He's a good kid.
He's ready to roll and, you know, his surfing's on point.
Morgs is looking behind him.
Morgs has that raw, mongrel mentality,
and, you know, to have a sustainable career
you gotta have that drive long-term.
But, you know, Morgs can be a bit hotheaded.
Fuck me!
Fuck, that was pretty heavy, don't you reckon?
What happened?
Bottie gifted you with the cards' positioning.
What are you talking about, champ? I just mixed it up randomly, bud.
Don't fucking act like the world's against you, bud.
What was the point of the drill?
-Shrugging off the negativity, wasn't it? -All right.
Well, it's up to you if you wanna go a round two.
You've got the option.
I'm done. Don't get second chances in a fucking heat.
You go.
I don't want these fucking cameras in my face.
Get used to it, buddy.
I fucking can't deal with these
all the fucking time.
Go have some brekkie. Switch off.
It's a very challenging thing being a rookie
and they get on the World Tour, there's a lot more cameras
and then, you know, more expectation on yourself.
Morgan and Matty have to understand that--
you know, how to deal with pressure a little bit better,
so that's the greatest challenge, I feel.
Good morning, everybody,
and welcome to the Rip Curl Newcastle Cup here at Merewether Beach,
as the World Surf League Championship Tour continues with stop number two.
Unbelievable conditions.
How's your coffee?
I waited 20 minutes, but it was worth it.
I hate drinking them before comps.
One contest that I, like, drank coffee, I put heaps of sugar in it
because it tasted like fuck
and had, like, an anxiety attack before my heat, and then I just lost.
-Good luck today. See you guys. -Thanks. You too.
This heat features Morgan Cibilic, the rookie on tour,
fighting for a position in the Round of 32.
To get into each tournament, you have to qualify for the Round of 32.
It's so competitive. There's a lot of talent,
and there's a lot of people vying for a very small number of spaces.
But if you're making the quarterfinals consistently,
you'll easily requalify for the next season.
Morgan Cibilic, the rookie on tour, in motion.
I think coming on as a rookie
there's just, like, that knife-edge of-- of staying on tour
and then requalification,
like, it's all just, like, within an inch of itself.
World number one staring him down on the shore break.
Morgan's not getting nervous in front of his heroes.
Good move by Morgan.
It was just enough to get him in front.
Morgan Cibilic powering on through to the next round by the slimmest of margins.
The women's tour is ruthless.
You've got 17 of the most talented surfers on this tour.
Moving through the Round of 16,
Tatiana Weston-Webb taking on the rookie, Isabella Nichols.
When you look at those placings, there's no room for error.
Isabella taking it right through to the inside.
This is gonna be a good score.
This is spot-on. Nailed it.
Really impressive performance.
Isabella Nichols, the rookie,
charging on through to the quarterfinals.
She'll have the quarterfinal matchup to come,
which'll be Steph Gilmore.
Here comes Medina. He's trying to put this thing away.
He's got the speed and the ramp, tail-high reverse complete.
As a rookie, you've seriously gotta make every wave count.
If you don't, you go into an elimination round.
Twenty-five seconds, McGillivray.
See if he can come back here, he's gonna go big for sure.
Not quite pulling it off.
McGillivray will have to deal with the elimination round.
That's the last place you wanna be.
Losing in your elimination round, you're dead last.
You're out and you're not getting any points
that are gonna really count towards qualification at the end of the year.
This heat features Michel Bourez
taking on Connor O'Leary and Matthew McGillivray
all trying to avoid third place
and getting knocked out in the elimination round.
Someone can come on with all the talent in the world
and they'll get some bad results,
and all of a sudden, you're off the tour and starting from ground zero again.
Matthew McGillivray is a surfer that I've seen
since he was competing in just the local events within South Africa.
And he was always this kind of a scrawny kid,
who was a really good technical surfer but maybe lacked power.
It's been my dream since I was a kid to be on the Championship Tour.
I didn't qualify for four years, four full years.
It's a big commitment doing the qualifying series and a lot of money,
and only ten guys make it at the end of every year.
Congratulations, Matthew McGillivray, getting the win.
Locked on Championship Tour.
I think he's very talented, good-natured kid,
but he's someone who's content to sit a little bit in that comfortable zone.
There has been so much sacrifice over the years from my family,
from my parents, from my dad's hard work, like him putting money in.
And I definitely wanna show them that it was all worth it.
See how this one's gonna start.
Matthew McGillivray up the lip line. Nice punch.
The rookie has just taken the lead.
In a competition heat, the time frame will be usually 30 minutes.
You can catch as many waves as you want in that time frame.
Every ride will be scored from one to ten.
Scores are good. Let's go.
It's the two best scoring rides, so the perfect score would be a 20 point.
Connor O'Leary steps in the wave, smashing it.
Michel Bourez. Wow.
Two big moves here.
McGillivray, the last thing you want is a third in the elimination round.
I think Matty McGillivray's surfing defensively.
The thing with competitive surfing is
you've got these thoughts popping into your head constantly, like,
these little voices questioning what could go wrong.
But I can't think like that.
I've just got to put that outta my mind and just, yeah, focus on the surfing.
Twenty seconds.
You wanna perform and, like, prove to yourself that you can do this.
McGillivray needing a 6.9.
Pumping hard. Big drive could pay off big time.
Yeah, that was a desperation move
and never looked like coming off.
This is just a lack of experience, I think.
Yeah. Well, every rookie's gonna have a few rookie errors.
Can I get a photo with you?
Yeah, of course.
-Thank you. -You did good, man. They love it.
I don't have to be anywhere else right now.
When the luck doesn't go your way,
there's some hard emotions to deal with.
Like, it can be quite the emotional roller coaster.
It hurts your confidence as well. You're like, "Man, I'm not supposed to be here."
Sorry, mate.
Dipping out early here at Newcastle.
It kinda feels a bit heavier-- 'cause of no points on the rankings.
-Hi, Matty. -Hey, Mom.
Yeah, what you up to?
Was praying for one more-- just one more opportunity, Lord.
Even though there was, like, one minute to go. Just one more, hey.
Yeah. No one wants to lose in the first round.
Yeah, hey.
Anyway, thanks for staying up late and watching.
Pleasure, treasure.
Ah, I'm gonna sleep in and then take it slow.
Yeah.
-Bye, Matt. -Okay. Cheers, Mum. Cheers. Bye.
Sweet.
She's up every night, no matter what hour it is, for my heats, so--
She's very supportive. It's good.
Have you seen all the meat we've got?
Yeah.
So much.
I love that you're standing around looking like you know what you're doing.
That's what I always do. I just pretend that I'm helping, but--
My name is Isabella Nichols, and I have the best job in the world.
I'm a professional surfer on the World Surf League.
So I was 11 years old when my dad pushed me onto my first wave.
Dad had to bribe me with bacon and egg McMuffins in the morning
to take me surfing.
His love for surfing got me into it,
but then my competitiveness kind of pushed me the rest of the way.
I like your jumper.
How do you feel about Steph?
-How do you feel about that? -I feel good.
How many times have you had her autograph when you were young?
Having a heat against someone like Steph that you've always looked up to,
is that gonna influence the way you surf or…
I'm actually, like, really excited more so than nervous now,
'cause I've never made it to the quarters. So, whatever happens now is a bonus.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Three days after I arrived in Maui for my first event on tour,
I got the news that Dad had stage two cancer in his neck.
So I was just there wondering, "How bad is it? Like, what's going on?"
I can't get home.
It was tough not being there.
He went through radiation and chemotherapy.
Obviously it's like an ongoing thing, cancer.
This is the first time that he's actually, like, been outside and been active.
So to have him here was, like, just amazing.
The weather gods just aren't cooperating
with organizers of the World Surf League Newcastle comp.
Another lay day has been called today.
However, they are expecting the swell to be more favorable tomorrow
with the call just before 7:00.
This is fucking something else, Morgs. I'll tell you that.
One of the main attributes that sets these athletes apart
from every other sport around the world is that there's no set kickoff time.
Surfers have a ten-day window, in which they only need five days of that,
to complete both the men's and women's competition.
So every day you have to wake up ready and prepared to go into battle.
-These beers are easy to drink. -Yeah.
Morgs is really on.
Guess I was a pretty timid kid until I got a little bit older
and started getting onto the party scene.
Are you going out tonight?
Maybe.
Looks like it might be off tomorrow.
-Big night. -Big night.
Newcastle's a town that everybody doesn't mind having a drink
and having fun and--
Yeah, it's definitely easy to get sucked into that,
especially when all of my mates are doing it.
Lets go to The Prince. Apparently it's gonna be fucked up tonight.
Yeah, I definitely made some pretty bad decisions.
You can easily get distracted.
You're traveling to the most beautiful places on Earth,
and pretty much everywhere you go, the town is partying.
-What's happenin', lad? -It's been a while.
I might go to The Prince… Have a couple.
Do you surf tomorrow?
-If we do, we do, you know? -Yeah.
Hopefully we're feeling all right.
You can easily get headlocked by the wrong crowd
and torn in the wrong rip.
So, yeah, you've got to decide when it's time to work
and then when it's time to play.
I wanna let loose.
Ten o'clock's bedtime.
Ten o'clock? We can get a lot of beers in by ten o'clock.
Morgs, come down. We're waiting for you.
Morgs is making us wait here.
Do you have both the house keys?
I only got one of 'em. I think.
-Organized mess, organized chaos, or-- -It is.
That's how he rolls.
Sorry, everyone.
-Morning. -That's Em, everyone.
The boys had one or two drinks.
Pretty sure I got my towel, my sunscreen and my wax in your car.
Got caught into some temptations.
Yeah.
They might go party pretty hard and then that doesn't put him
in a very good frame of mind for when they need to train really hard.
Fuck.
Fucking foot.
Everyone's human. We all make mistakes.
Fucking dog shit, hey? It's shit.
Plenty of action at the WSL cup in New Merewether,
but local Morgan Cibilic has injured himself
and is seeing doctors to have scans.
Thank you.
I think I'm booked in for a CT scan.
So what are we scanning? What part?
Left foot.
Hopefully you'll be all right.
As long as, like, there's no broken bones, it should be all right.
Fingers crossed.
All right. So, if you wanna lay down, or did you wanna…
Knowing what I wanna achieve, I can't afford to miss out on any events.
Let's pray that doesn't happen.
Isabella is ready for her rookie moment on tour.
What an opportunity to surf against one of the all-time greats,
if not the best surfer of all time.
Stephanie Gilmore. Seven World Titles.
She is so incredible that the way she's surfing these days, you're going,
"It still looks like she has so many years ahead of her."
You'll be up against Steph Gilmore next. How do you prepare?
Really excited. I haven't actually versed her yet, so-- like ever.
So this is gonna be good.
-Here comes my baby girl. -There she is.
-That's my baby. -Thanks, Mom.
-Love you, guys. -I love you. Okay.
It's been hard.
My dad's been sick,
and it literally, like, brings a tear to my eye every time I think about it.
Just to allow him to have this experience of, like, feeling complete joy
after going through something so rough. I wanna make him proud.
Steph was my hero growing up.
At school we'd have our textbooks,
and I'd, like, cut out pictures of her from magazines
and, like, laminate them to my books.
I still am a total fangirl,
but if I'm in the water with someone, doesn't matter who you are,
even if it's my idol like Steph, I wanna beat you.
Here we go.
Who's gonna make the first move?
Isabella Nichols.
Nice. Beautiful form.
That will get her the lead.
Nice start for Gilmore.
Full roundhouse wrapping up the rebound.
That's gonna stop short right there.
The judges are gonna be paying attention for speed, control,
and also they're gonna reward innovative and progressive moves.
Yep, let's get it in.
Isabella Nichols in the lead.
I've surfed Newcastle pretty much, like, seven years in a row.
Kind of, like, really comfortable with how the wave works.
-Here she goes. -Here we go.
Confidence is everything in surfing.
Keeping it all together mentally,
I think you can kind of manifest getting through heats.
Yes. That was sick.
That's your daughter!
Isabella Nichols, she's got the lead over Steph.
An amazing rookie performance in the making.
This is my 14th year on tour.
It's hard. They know exactly your strengths and weaknesses,
because they've seen every part of your career.
Steph Gilmore is gonna pull in quickly.
You just can't let your guard down.
Pressure is really on the seven-time world champion, for sure.
Oh, yeah. This will be a huge upset if Steph doesn't get a wave.
-Two minutes remaining. -She could shut this down.
She could shut this down with one wave.
And look, you can tell Bella means business.
-She's moving right inside under Steph. -Let's check.
Yeah, Bella's fierce like that.
That's gonna be putting the pressure on Steph now.
Surfing is 70% mental and 30% skill.
It's hard. You gotta be mentally tough.
People get flustered when you get a bit aggressive,
when you're in charge and you take the inside.
Hard to do that against people you look up to,
but she would do the same thing to me.
Steph Gilmore fighting for what would be an eighth World Title this year.
She'll fade on this one with 90 seconds up and out.
A bit of a mistake.
Isabella, she doesn't need a wave,
so she's got a different game going.
This is our livelihood.
If you don't beat the other person, they're gonna beat you.
It's gonna come down to this.
She needs an eight-point ride.
If you can use mind games to kind of play the game,
then why not, really?
Gilmore slips.
Isabella Nichols takes down one of the biggest names in surfing.
To get through that heat,
especially against seven-time world champ Steph Gilmore, was, like, pretty dreamy.
-Well done. That was awesome. -You too.
Isabella has been a really standout competitor.
-There you are. -You little ripper.
Her surfing is absolutely there,
and her focus heading into the rest of the year is really gonna be
realizing her significance and her presence on tour is an important one.
Stinks in this joint. Holy shit.
It smells like a dead person in here. It's gross.
Cheers.
Service with a smile.
Anything else you want, darling?
We'll know pretty soon about your hoof, eh?
And we are just hearing news now.
Another local boy, Morgan Cibilic,
will be taking on John John Florence, the current leader.
Sick.
Fuck, I really wish I had my little toe to verse John John.
Doesn't matter who he's got. He's just gonna flog him.
-Fuck. -You got the results back?
Got a fracture.
That's it.
Yeah.
It's on the inside of my little toe.
I think we need to be very calculated before you commit.
Fuck, dude. That's the smallest, dumbest, little fucking fracture.
Like a surgeon breaking his finger,
if you break your toe, that's like-- that's your medium to perform.
He's not gonna be able to surf this event.
The reality of it is, it might take four to six weeks to heal the fracture.
One heat, especially from a rookie's point of view standpoint--
One heat can have such a huge bearing on that trajectory of that athlete's career.
But your feet are everything on a surfboard, you just--
That's the thing that connects you to the surfboard.
So, can we surf on this injury?
It's a touch and go moment.
If I'm out for these few events, I might be out for the year,
and that could be my rookie year done.
It would crush me.
We are well into this Newcastle Cup
with Merewether local Morgan Cibilic.
If he is good to go, he'll be up against two-time world champ John John Florence.
I was obviously thinking about,
"If you're gonna be out for the next four events
'cause you surfed this, like, one heat against John John Florence,
who, let's face it, is arguably the best surfer in the world,
can I win?"
I don't know.
You all right?
Yeah, I think so.
You're hobbling, but you reckon you can surf?
I don't know. We'll go find out.
So, how's Morgan?
Yeah, we'll see. He's got a little fracture.
Fracture? Fracture is pretty heavy. He's-- He'll surf?
I don't know. It's a hard one.
I think the biggest risk is
he actually hurts his foot more than it already is,
and basically he can't surf in these next few events.
And then that's Morgan's year off tour. It's pretty simple.
World number one, John John Florence,
to take on a local boy and a rookie on tour named Morgan Cibilic.
John just has this, like-- this sort of mystique about him.
He can win competition in almost any location.
It's hard to say,
but he's been getting the wins off me for the last few years. Damn it.
John John Florence, he's on another stratosphere to Morgan Cibilic.
He's got more money, more following.
He's surrounded by a sphere that's constantly telling him that
this guy's not even on your radar.
But now it looks like the kid's gonna try to surf.
In a big way, it's gonna be a test of character.
It could defeat Morgan psychologically.
-John John Florence. -Here he goes.
John is just looking so good.
Two razor-sharp turns to kick this off.
Morgan Cibilic, he has to surf through the pain
to compete against the world number one.
Routes it out of a lip.
Oh, my goodness. Throwing sparks on that first turn.
-Wow. -Nailed it.
Keep an eye on this tight arc.
This is so sick.
Watching him open up on that wave with a broken toe--
Think we were all just, like, so surprised. I think John John included.
When you're happy with your scores, let's put 'em in.
The local knowledge paying off big time.
Cibilic now into the lead.
Morgan very popular in these parts.
Bit of an underground hero, isn't he?
Well, here's John trying to match.
Super sharp.
Situation change.
Yellow goes into the lead, and Morgan down into second.
You've gotta hold it down for us rookies, Morgs.
It's all up to you now.
They're the best in the world, but he's just another person, I guess.
They still bleed. You can beat him. So, yeah.
Morgan having a look at this one.
Explosive first turn.
Grinds through those curves so nicely.
Wow, he is ripping. Oh, my goodness.
He doesn't seem fazed at all.
Surfs this break all the time and that was by far his best wave.
He's gonna take the lead.
Local knowledge seems to be paying off for Morgan Cibilic.
He knows exactly where he wants to sit right now.
This is gonna be a very interesting finish.
It's almost like John John is suddenly the rookie out here
and Morgan Cibilic's the guy.
Last opportunity.
Florence trying to keep himself on pace here with the rookie.
Driving down the line. Finds a little bit of cover.
Rolling through to the inside.
An incredible moment for this kid, you know,
getting a win over someone as experienced and revered
as John John Florence, at this point in his career.
We know he's got a broken toe,
but it didn't hold him back at all.
We were still trying to figure out how to say his last name
a couple of months ago.
I guess I'm the new kid on the block.
I definitely feel like people underestimate me, and I love it.
You got a bit of a sore wrist signing all those autographs, eh?
You need a shorthand signature. You'll have to develop one.
The chances of you being a rookie coming through
