  • If you’re an Australian the name Mick Fanning needs no introduction. He is a 3x World Champion surfer and one of Australia’s favourite sportsman as well as a businessman in his own right post-surfing. Mick is a guy I always looked up to as a young Aussie and it has always been a dream to having him on the podcast to talk about his career and life in general. It’s quite hard to talk to a guy not Mick for the first time and not cover ground that has been covered a million times, but here is a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed regardless.

    The best surfing style ever, first time saw him surfing in Dbah was amazing.. grew up watching his movies back days and today I can watch him frothing in Dbah. Thanks legends for the podcast 🔥🚀

    Fano talking about Kelly and his mental approach to the game was a great insight. Appreciate you for sharing this conversation. Some gems from mick in this one

    I wish you could interview Mick Campbell. Almost a world champ in 1998 and now has fallen on some hard times from what I've read.
    I stayed at house that he was at during the 2003 Pipe Masters and he was a pretty solid guy.

    Mick that point about walking and counting makes total sense to me it’s calming I get anxiety to and will practice this daily it’s so powerful thanks for a great podcast

    Cooly kids all had slater traits. I think the NDEs, not drinking & active meditation helped Mick win titles & stay humble too. Surfing makes people stronger & it can help manage the chaos in land life, the ocean humbles people to handle or master the elements & chaos too.

    Gypsy Tales is one of the few pods that I will watch/listen to even if i know zero info about the guest. The interviews aren't traditional and boring, its more like 2 dudes chatting and the fans get to be a fly on the wall. I never followed surfing so I didnt know anything about him personally or professionally........ but what a super interseting dude with such a cool, laid back attitude!! Gypsy Tales never(legit never!) disappoints and I appreciate the time and effort u put into it ✌️

      @@lucaswatt7213 Jase is the man, he really has some of the most interesting guests on and he gets the most out of them! I'm watching the ep with Justin Barcia right now, and as usual it's another killer one. Tbh tho the fact that Gypsy Tales only has 22.6k subs is just crazy........ the content is so good it should easily have 500k+ subs, at least in my humble opinion 😁

    I searched for "surfing podcast" and went for shane's dorian one at first. Couldn't hear for 5 minutes, the interviewers were just licking the guy and he was all about how soft the world has become. Mick's was just the opposite. He doesn't assume he is right, he accepts his weaknesses and low moments and that he struggles with normal things (and still thrives). That's the real thing

    Youre drivers have nothing to be ashamed off. The Giz is probably one of the craftiest steerers in the world. First time watching Nascar myself but how strong are those cars. I wish the V8 supercars here could handle the contact like those things do..

    • @thenewtowncryer
      @thenewtowncryer Před 4 měsíci

      I saw Julian as at the beach once and there was a trail of about 6 beautiful girls just following him around and he was totally oblivious to it. It was hilarious.

    • @thenewtowncryer
      @thenewtowncryer Před 4 měsíci

      BTW, all the other pros were on the beach as well, but no girls were following them around.
