I welcomed a true legend onto the Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast for episode 021: 3 x World Champion, renowned shark puncher and all-round Aussie surfing superstar Mick Fanning.
I headed round to Mick’s place during my recent surf trip to Hossegor in the South West of France, and we got stuck into Mick’s life and career during the course of a hugely enjoyable conversation.
Whether it’s the wildcard win at Bells back in 2001 that served notice of his talent, those 3 World Championship titles, that infamous 2015 run-in with a Great White or his recent return to the tour after a much-needed year out, Mick’s lived an incredible life by any standards.
He is also, as I discovered, a supremely laidback and welcoming character, and during our conversation we covered the lot in an in-depth conversation with a man who’s lived a rollercoaster life, and is constantly striving to learn from the past, keep moving and keep evolving.
A real pleasure to talk to you Mick. Thanks for coming onto the show and getting into the spirit of the Looking Sideways podcast.
Thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
