MICK FANNING
Gold Coast, Australia
Australian surfing icon, Mick Fanning, first learned to ride waves at just five years old. But after moving from the landlocked suburbs to the southeastern shores, the legend of ‘White Lightning’ was born. Fanning would garner the nickname thanks to his remarkable speed (and sandy blond hair). For over two decades, Mick’s been chasing waves around the world, surfing almost every continent and even surviving a shark attack off the coast of South Africa. In the end, his 22 WSL Tour wins, 11 top-5 finishes, and three world titles helped cement his legacy as arguably the greatest Australian surfer ever.
