Cat-like, limber and always moving at Mach-3, 3X World Champion, Mick Fanning, took most of the year off in 2016. Surfing in a select few events to qualify for this season (winning the J-Bay Open), Mick's back and from his body language in this year's Quiksilver Pro: He's in it to win it this year. While unable to defeat Owen Wright in his Round Three heat, it wasn't without stunning rides like this that showcased Mick's finesse, spooky connection with Snapper and ferocious hunger for a fourth world title.
