In the first full length feature interview Mick Fanning and friends open up about life post world surfing tour. Mick’s career has been characterised by long, loyal relationships including – shaper Darren Handley, coach Phil McNamara, sponsors Rip Curl, Red Bull , Creatures Of Leisure, Dragon Alliance, Reef, Skullcandy and Verta. Now, his impressive business portfolio includes a stake in Balter Brewing Company and Mick Fanning Softboards, buying in as partner with Creatures of Leisure, and new ambassador roles with Mercedes Benz and Grapes phone chargers. And while life after the World Surf League is clearly going to involve chasing the best waves on the Planet, presumably aboard The Search, there's also a deep philanthropic side to Mick, that'll see him hands on involved with projects like Wild Ark and others. This article is available now for our PROFESSIONAL EDITION subscribers.

Both Vans and Volcom are interesting case studies in how brands can either succeed, or disappoint within large corporate engines. In recent years Volcom has floundered, while Vans has grown non-stop. It now looks likely that Volcom will be sold by its French owner, luxury brand company Kering, who recently announced it would sell its Puma business. So why has Volcom struggled while Vans succeeded? In this PROFESSIONAL EDITION article Ed Prendergast explains why Vans is the vanguard at VFC and why Volcom might be feeling vanquished at Kering.
