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 馃槝

I grew up in Torquay but haven't been back there for years. Bells had literally nobody there when i was a kid except at easter. I met Wayne Lynch there once but nobody else famous. You are lucky meeting Mick Fanning. I've heard it gets really busy down there now.

@SW-User yeh I don鈥檛 get it, further down the coast at Lorne for eg the waves aren鈥檛 as good but it attracts more surfers. Perhaps I鈥檓 just an old die hard lol. We often spend nights on the beach further down from Bells, need I say anymore 馃槈

@Les02 I agree but i didn't mind that. I was a teen but mostly surfed Jan Juc and Winki and it was only just locals, maybe on weekends you'd get a few from Melbourne but nobody would really travel far back then. Beach parties sound fun, i was too young for those then.

@SW-User Yeh, we move between beaches for the obvious reasons. You probably arn鈥檛 aware but the Addis Point end is a nude beach now lol. Great fun to spend a stinking hot Saturday night down there. It鈥檚 good if there鈥檚 a bunch of surfers sleeping on the beach as they take no shit from assholes and they鈥檙e really respectful towards us girls.

@Les02 Lol no i had no idea there was a nude beach down there. It'd probably be a good place for it. If i remember, nude beaches are swimming during the day and ... other stuff at night 馃槒
