Must Watch: Mick Fanning Gets Philosophical (And Very Barrelled) In Ireland

You know how 2015 went for Mick Fanning: Shark attack, separation from wife, a brother’s death. And, you have a good idea of how his 2016 went, too: Some cherrypicked World Tour events, surrounded by a whole lot of travelling to places the World Tour never took him, like Alaska. One of those trips was to Ireland, a place where Mick actually has heritage (his father was born there). This six-minute short features not only philosophical thoughts from Mick – will he return to the tour? Does the world title mean as much as it did? – but also some immensely good tubing over Irish reef and rock. What a place it is. And, what a gent Mick is.
