‘Difference in fate’: Mick Fanning opens up about the night he cheated death at 17
Mick Fanning’s life has been marked by frightening near misses – not just in the water.
Now aged 45, it’s something he reflects on with gratitude. But he is also haunted by them.
Mick Fanning is a three-time world champion and one of the greatest surfers in history. 60 Minutes
The first came at just 17, and it gave the teenager a lesson in just how cruel life is sometimes.
Mick is the youngest of five kids – four boys and an older sister, but he was always tightest with his closest brother in age, 20-year-old Sean.
One night in 1998, as they often did, Mick and Sean were at a party together on the Gold Coast before Sean decided to get a lift home with friends.
The heartbreaking question Mick Fanning asked his mum after losing three brothers
After three world titles, a shark attack, and the deaths of his three big brothers, the universe has been both generous and unforgiving to the champion surfer.
You really couldn’t script a more perfect moment for meeting Mick Fanning. A blazing sun rises from the watery horizon to the east, throwing golden light onto sandy Coolangatta, while a breezy, briny combo of spray and spit kicks up off the Pacific Ocean sky and into our eyes. A strange hippie woman is dancing and bellowing and smacking clap sticks together on the beach – she’s a regular here, apparently – while fishermen cast for bream off the big black basalt rocks on the headland. Oh, and there’s an old dude nearby smoking a very fat spliff.
