Mick Fanning
Mick Fanning is a professional surfer from Australia and is the current world champion on the Foster’s ASP Mens World Tour. He was born in Penrith, New South Wales on June 13, 1981.
Fanning learned to surf at the age of five in coastal New South Wales, but did not go full on until his family moved to Tweed Heads when he was twelve. He grew up with fellow professional surfer, Joel Parkinson. On the edge of the Queensland border, Fanning had access to epic surf north and south and he began to make a name for himself. In 1997 he established himself as one the very best surfers to rule the Queensland points by placing in the top three at the Australian National Titles. He was also victorious when he took a wild card entry at the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach in 2001 winning one of Australia’s most acclaimed contests. He finished 2002 as rookie of the year winning the Billabong Pro at Jeffrey’s Bay and earning himself a slot on the 2002 tour as the World Qualifying Series’ (WQS) Champion.
