From a Gold Coast local, mick portrays what we are all about. A passionate bloke always willing to give anything a go and a guy who shows resilience able to always bounce back. From watching him shred on tv to driving past his house everyday and for him to show love and how grateful he is by giving people like myself high fives at the Quicky Pro. It’s a honour to be able to grow up in the same place and have Mick as such a sick role model is really is something special. Sad to see a legend retire, but as all good things must come to an end❤️ #cheersmick
If my memory is any good, was it the 2013 pipe where he got the second reef roller to stay in the world title race with seconds left in the heat or his win at J Bay 2016. First world title is up there as well. So many!!!
The part of his life where he overcame the darkest moments... Seems like the 🦈 was a bad omen for sure, but he kept on pushing back at life! He's that much stronger for it too! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 *#CheersMick*
It's a bit bitter-sweet to see Mick retire from tour, thanks for the great career and the awesome vibe, your passion for the sport and involvement in the surf industry is inspiring and heart-warming. Hoping to see some more #TheSearch videos, #CheersMick Yew!
I know it sounds "stupid" ... But I discovered Mick Fanning because of Rip Curl school notebooks and binders I bought when I was a teenager ... I could not stop dreaming all the time in class by looking at those pictures of him riding big waves on my notebook/binder, that's when I choose to search about his name, dig more about surf and became truly passionated by it.
❤ such classic powerful stylish surfing. one of my favorite all time male surfers (i say this because my hero surfers are as much, if not more, females than males especially in recent years, and most (well, main 3, of my male surf influences are from the 1980s and early 90s :) ,but in the contemporary era , Mick is the guy whos surfing i can most relate to on a personal level, even though even on my best of days ever, i was never anywhere near what he does :)
Wishing you all the luck in the world....you really are a inspiration......and a survivor.....of life when I throws you a curve ball.....live long ...healthy and enjoy you freedom.....all the best love from the gold coast x

First time I saw Mick in Fanning the fire I was stunned how fast, radical, stylish, smooth he was surfing..super talented guy!
Most exciting surfer ever in my view with his demon speed, beautiful fluid style and radicalness!
I’m a Huge fan of Mick Fanning as well he is my ideal
Thanks mick!!
MUCH LOVE FROM Southern California Mick! YEEEWWW!!!!
His speed is crazy. Re-entries are so fast. He seems to have a motor on his board. Didnt realize it til now although I remember watching him on wsl.
I am going to miss cheering Mick on. I cried for the last 10 minutes of the final heat of his career last night.
Thanks Mick
Incredible clip! Mick forever!
