Mick Fanning’s Indo Vacation

Nostalgia’s a hell of a thing. At first glance this could well be Davo, Hedgey, and Zane Harrison sinking cans in the Ments on the original Search, but what the Y2K cast lacks in beer drinking ability they make up for in progressive surfing. What a pleasure it is to see Mick Fanning free of the jersey and having fun. It’s not often that you get to see MF pounding on his backhand – due to the lack of a performance lefts on tour – but the champ’s backhand looks vicious. Louie Hynd’s got great hair and looks to be a Search star in the making and Dil Perillo may be one of the most underrated freesurfers getting around. Follow The Search, right here.
