Mick Fanning is the proud owner of three world titles. He should probably have more — he’s one of those rare surfers with the right mix of insane talent and competitive savvy, but three world titles ain’t nothing to scoff at.

Rip Curl stitched together the moments that mattered most to Mick Fanning in his competitive career to show how one gets to the point where they have three world titles under their belt.
