Was able to get down to Snapper Rocks to see the first few heats of Round 3 of the 2018 Quiksilver Pro. Worked out well as I was able to see one of Mick Fanning's last outings as a professional surfer. Mick will retire after the Rip Curl Bells Beach event next month.
Free Surf
Lots of people out early, to squeeze in a surf before Snapper Rocks competition area was closed to the public, including Mick Fanning and a few other professionals.
