Mick Fanning has endured unimaginable emotional anguish this week at the Pipeline Masters after learning of his brother’s death just yesterday.

The newly crowned World Surfing Champion, Adriano de Souza, had some truly touching words for the Aussie champion in a moving post-competition interview.

Fanning went down to Gabriel Medina in the semi-finals of the prestigious competition, clearing the way for de Souza to claim the Championship with a semi-final win himself.

The Brazilian defeated Mason Ho, and with that win, claimed his maiden World Title.

However, rather than beating his chest, de Souza’s first priority was paying a touching tribute to the three-time world champion.
