Shaun 'Chunny' Manners has been through the ringer of mental and physical anguish these past few years but he's emerged from it bigger and better than ever, and doing the best surfing of his life. Now with the support of Former (Dane Reynolds, Craig Anderson and Austyn Gilette), among others, he's surfing with a renewed sense of presence that's unlocked a new level of performance. Here he explains how he did it (spoiler: he took up Smivvy's head-injury protocol) and takes us inside the underground loony bin that underpins the West Australian surf scene.
