Mick and Sean
As brothers they were inseparable They shared a room and they shared a dream of turning pro together. Unfortunately, Sean's life was cut short after a tragic car accident in Coolangatta.
The Competive Scene
As a young adult, Mick built the best modern day competition record in Australian surfing history. He won everything from the Pro Junior at Narrabeen, to the Rip Curl Pro WCT at Bells Beach.
Session of a Lifetime
Despite all of the competitive milestones, one of Mick's biggest highlights was when a beaming swell hit the east coast of Australia and turned on several sessions of a lifetime.
