For those of you who don't know who Mick Fanning is!!!

He's a three times world surf champion & he retired (runner up) at the Bells Beach Classic last week. I have been fortunate enough to bump into him in the water from time to time as Bells is his home & it's where I surf. He is a true inspiration to sports in general & a lovely lovely guy as well. Every time I've been waiting for a wave he's given me his & always made a point of catching up & giving me pointers. Good on ya Mick, catch ya in the drink, cheers mate 😘

What a legend. His interview afterwards was so honest just like the man. He would be definitely be a person I would have a beer with

@Hanging2 He is & he has such a wonderful sense of humor, I'm blaming him for me spewing up on my gf's feet on Sunday morning 😝

@Hanging2 And even worse, my gf will make a point of telling Mick the next time we come across him catching waves, bless her F(@$)?>* little soul

@Les02 lol. I bet she will. I see he is going to disappear for a bit and chase some big waves. I can see some surfing videos on the horizon

@Hanging2 Yup, the lucky bastard. Mind you, they don't come much better when an off shore is blowing off the Southern Ocean
