Monday, March 28, 2016

Between winning the first Championship Tour event of the season and breaking through Round 3 at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach for the first time in his career, current World No. 1 Matt Wilkinson is feeling pretty good. He hasn't lost a heat yet this season and the Round 3 upsets mean he'll be wearing the yellow jersey at the next stop, the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro. Joining the boys for Dawn Patrol, Wilko talked about his winning streak, what changed between this year and last and what challenges lay ahead.
