Mick Fanning
It’s difficult to sum up a man like Mick Fanning in just a few short sentences. A surfer? Yes. A brother, a son? A 3x World Champion? One of our sport’s greatest athletes? Yes. Yes. Yes. The unlucky surfer who got knocked off his board by a white pointer during a Final at Jeffrey’s Bay, broadcast live around the world? Yes.
Mick Fanning is an Aussie hero. Mick Fanning is a legend. And right now, after retiring from the World Tour in 2018, Mick Fanning is officially on The Search.
He has done it with humility and a deep respect for surfing, and those who he chooses to surround himself with.
