Mick Fanning's Blog

I had a great time great time with the groms at D-Bah a couple of weeks back during the WPS Surf with the Stars day.

Down to business, the first WCT event is complete and it was a real test this year - not just simply surfing Snapper - we started at D’bah, then Snapper, finally ending up at big groyne Kirra.

I love the first event ’cause everyone is so hungry. Everything was running really smoothly until Parko beat me in the semis. It was a really cool heat, he had me comboed, then I came back, comboed him and then he came back again with a ten and a high nine.

It had been a long time since Joel has had a win so I was stoked for him. On other things, my new website mickfanning.com should be up any day now. It looks really cool so I hope people like it.

Now I’m on my way to Ayers Rock for my first anniversary with Karissa. Pretty excited. It was classic too ’cause we saw Anthony Mundine in Alice Springs. He was on a youth programme trip.
