Mick Fanning ‘Surf For Your Life’ book

MIck Fanning's autobiography Surf For Your Life is out now via Random House.

The book follows Fanning's extraordinary journey to become world champion in 2007, a title he looks set to score again this year.

He's currently ranked number one in the world and with one event left on the ASP tour, he looks sure to reclaim the title he lost to Kelly Slater last year.

But the book also offers a more personal insight into the surfer who has had various injuries and health problems over the years as well as losing his brother in a car accident in 1998.

Says editor Tim Baker: "Mick tells his life story candidly - in turns funny, sensitive, thoughtful, self-deprecating - while providing intimate insights into the personal lessons gained along the way - with practical tips on surfing technique, fitness, nutrition, board design, travel, competitive strategies and mental clarity."

  • I want this! I hope it's better than Kelly Slater's, I find him so boring, almost mechanical! Mick has been doing some pretty cool environmental campaigning too. I hope he wins
