Fanning Lets His Freak of Nature Flag Fly

Monday May 12, 2008
This footage from Damaged Goods 2 shows World Champion Mick Fanning in tip-top full-blown freak-a-zoid laser-sharp blastastically explosivo mode. If you want to see modern high performance surfing at its finest, take a gander at this.

This is just a glimpse of what three fins, a strict fitness regime, and a seething internal cauldron of talent will get you. Focus on the lines Fanning draws across the wave face...No wasted movement, no jiggles or wobbles. He buries the rail on each turn and stays centered over the board's mid-point at all costs. Surfing is an exciting place to be.
