Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on June 13, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Mick! Another year older and still riding waves smoother than most of us walk. From your epic battles at Bells Beach to clinching that unforgettable second ASP World Tour Championship in 2009, you've shown the world how Aussies truly master the surf—fearlessly dodging sharks included!

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much excitement as catching a perfect barrel or celebrating another championship win. May your board stay waxed, your wetsuit dry quickly (yeah right!), and may every wave remind you why you're forever our surfing legend. Cheers mate—keep shredding those waves like only Fanning can!
