SURF ADVENTURE
On the road with Mick Fanning
7 Countries in 3 weeks – what an adventure. Taylor Steele’s film MISSING put World Surfing Champion Mick Fanning in some of the most radical places on the planet alongside original searcher Tom Curren, Joel Parkinson, Matt Wilkinson, Jordy Smith, John John Florence and Bruno Santos.
We travelled continuously for 21 days, sometimes with only a few hours sleep before catching the next flight onto our next destination. We did Africa, Ireland, Central America and Spain with unforgettable moments, dramatic scenery and epic surf with a great crew.
Join world surfing champion Mick Fanning on an epic 7-country surf adventure, as captured by Ted Grambeau. From Africa to Central America, this journey is filled with unforgettable moments, including Mick’s close encounter with gorillas in Rwanda. Explore the story behind this iconic shot.
One of my favourite moments of the trip was capturing the interaction between Mick and the gorillas in Rwanda.
