PHILIPPA ANDERSON BELIEVES SHE CAN JOIN CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR

Merewether surfer Philippa Anderson says she’s finally starting to believe she can make it onto the championship tour next year.

The 23-year-old returned home this morning from the latest qualifying series event, where she beat two of the world’s best.

But rather than catch up on some sleep, Philippa Anderson was still keen to catch up with friends and check out conditions at her home break.

Her latest trip overseas exceeded her expectations, starting with her performance as part of the Australian team at the World Surfing Games in Nicaragua.
