Mick Fanning, Swerving at Snapper Rocks, Gold Coast

“The black sticker is Mick’s and Mick’s only,” says Rip Curl of Mick Fanning’s new, black sponsor sticker. “It represents a new image we are creating and collaborating with Mick on. The reason behind it being exclusive to him is…he’s Mick Fanning, he’s 2x world champion and he’s just re-signed with us for another five years.” Mick’s been surfing D’bah and, as y’can see above, Snapper, every day, filming and training with the dark new print. We dig that Mick has his own vibe. “We have a lot of history with Mick and are proud to say he’s part of the Rip Curl family. The black sticker is the first step in a really exciting direction we are heading and it’s only the very beginning of what’s to come for Mick and Rip Curl.”
