Joel Parkinson Chats with Mick Fanning: Catching Waves and Chasing Dreams
Joel Parkinson: Hey Mick, long time no see! What have you been up to? Have you caught the perfect wave yet?
Mick Fanning: G’day Parko! Been keeping busy, mate. I’ve been hunting for that elusive perfect wave, you know how it is. How about you? Still shredding it out there?
Joel Parkinson: Always, man! Every day’s a new adventure in the water. Just can’t get enough. By the way, remember that epic trip to Fiji we had? Nothing quite like those barrels, huh?
Mick Fanning: Oh, absolutely! Those waves were something else. The adrenaline, the beauty of it, kinda hard to beat. Speaking of epic trips, did you see the footage from our last session in Bali? Looked like we were flying!
Joel Parkinson: Haha, yeah! That was insane. It’s moments like those that make all the hard work worth it. Say, what’s next for you? Any big plans?
Mick Fanning: Actually, I’ve been thinking about doing more projects that bring awareness to ocean conservation. The oceans are basically our playground, right? Gotta keep them clean and healthy.
Joel Parkinson: Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been working with a couple of local groups on that front. It’s so important, especially for future generations of surfers. By the way, are you still doing those crazy big wave competitions?
Mick Fanning: Haha, you know it! It’s a different kind of rush altogether. But there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned session at Snapper with the buddies. Speaking of which, we should plan one soon!
Joel Parkinson: Count me in! Those sessions always bring back memories. Let’s get it done before the season goes crazy. Oh, and maybe we could take some groms out, show ‘em how it’s done?
Mick Fanning: Sounds like a plan! Passing the torch, eh? It’s always good to inspire the young guns. Alright, let’s lock it in. Can’t wait to hit the waves with you again, mate.
Joel Parkinson: Same here, Mick! See you out there. And hey, don’t forget your board this time!
Mick Fanning: Haha, never again! Let’s get those waves, Parko.
