Gold Coast Surfer Mick Fanning To Retire After Bells

The Gold Coast's Mick Fanning has chosen Bells Beach in Victoria as the place to end his 17-year old professional career. 

The three time World champion who famously punched a shark,  wrote on his socials overnight that he's quitting the pro tour.

Mick says Bells was the place of his first tour win and while he loves surfing he can't find the motivation anymore and needs a fresh challenge.
