"We had been Searching for 6-months. Anytime, anywhere. Wherever Ben Matson at Swellnet could direct us into a meaningful swell."

Not since his 2013 movie MISSING has Mick Fanning been so keen to change tracks. So when the Indo swell of the year hit and he saw it coming we received the call at RC HQ in Torquay, Victoria, Australia.

“Let’s do this!” said the Big Dog and that was all we needed to hear. With Mick in tow, we were on. A new and exciting chapter in the annals of The Search had officially begun. Video by Andrew Buckley and Nick Pollet.
