Mark Occhilupo went into 1988 with a lot of weight on his shoulders; the surfing world desperately wanted to see him further his comeback dream by winning a world title. While the dream eluded him then, much was achieved by Occy, who spent most of the season within the top five.
His victory at the Rip Curl Pro at Bell's Beach, Australia, his first major triumph in 12 years, was a great moment in surfing and a high point of his 13-year career. Then in 1999, aged 33, he became world champion.
This is the diary of an incredible season, as Mark travels the world: Fiji, South Africa, the tournament at Bells, providing an absorbing insight into the mind of one of Australia's cult sport heroes. A rare opportunity to go with Occy as he defends his crown, the diary documents his observations on other surfers, his tournaments, mind set and life on the road with the world champion surfer.
