Two surfing legends in one book!Occy is the magically talented child star who crashed and burned, then miraculous crawled from the wreckage to claim his destiny. Mick is the ferociously determined, disciplined athlete, who overcame personal tragedy and devastating injury to pursue his dreams. Australian surfing has produced many great champions, but few have overcome so much, and inspired so many, as Mark Occhilupo and Mick Fanning. Though dramatically contrasting characters, Occy and Mick''s life stories both serve as powerful primers in the power of dreams, the importance of never giving up, and the courage required to claw your way out of the deepest trough and climb all the way up to the highest peak. Occy : the Rise and Fall and Rise of Mark Occhilupo and Mick Fanning''s Surf For Your Life, both written together with renowned surf writer Tim Baker, have become modern Australian classics, within the surfing community and beyond. They have inspired elite athletes from all walks of life, launched innumerable grommets on their first forays into the surf and spurred countless mature age surfers to get off the couch and back into the waves. Now combined into an inspirational omnibus, Occy and Surf For Your Life, are essential reading for anyone wanting to overcome adversity, blast through their personal limits and achieve their goals.

Deeply personal and inspirational, All Heart is the definitive memoir of one of Australia’s greatest sporting heroes: Mick Fanning.Most people know Mick Fanning as the surfer who won three world titles. Some know him as the bloke who punched a shark. But that’s only part of the story. All Heart is about growing up in a loud, loving family. It’s about chasing a dream and experiencing the highest of highs. It’s about being broken into pieces by unimaginable loss; about three brothers and a father dying too soon. It’s about doing whatever it takes, and learning whatever you can, to find your way again. With honesty and humility, Mick opens up about the moments that shaped him – the wins, the waves, the parties, the people he lost, the mates who never left, and the family that helped him on his journey.All Heart is more than the story of a champion surfer and global sporting icon. It’s the story of a man who took life’s hardest knocks on the chin and kept on pushing forward, and a reminder that our greatest achievements aren’t always the ones the world gets to see.‘A story of heartbreak, courage and hope from one of the most inspiring people I know.' Chris Hemsworth

An inspirational tale of overcoming the odds to become world champMick Fanning might only be 28 but he already knows how a lot of things feel that most of us never will. How does it feel to lose a brother? Win a world title? Rip your hamstring muscle clean off the bone? Weave through a zippering Superbank barrel for 20 or 30 seconds or paddle over the ledge at places like Pipeline and Teahupo? Have scoliosis so bad you can''t get off the floor? Address the NSW state of origin team before a match, bowl to Matty Hayden and have Dave Warner belt you for consecutive sixes? Walk into the bar of a Brasilian hotel dressed only in a bikini to make your mates laugh, only to find your mates have left, and there is only a puzzled bartender staring blankly at you? You''ll notice that not all these experiences fall neatly on one side of the ledger of good or bad. Mick''s journey so far has definitely been a mixed bag, but it is the extremes of that journey that make him so interesting, and his readiness to learn from each experience and use it as fuel to drive him on that might provide lessons for the rest of us. Mick''s only young but he already exudes a quiet wisdom beyond his years, and now he''s ready to share it with anyone wanting to further their surfing, whether competitively or for sheer pleasure. Mick tells his life story candidly - in turns funny, sensitive, thoughtful, self-depricating - while providing intimate insights into the personal lessons gained along the way - with practical tips on surfing technique, fitness, nutrition, board design, travel, competitive strategies and mental clarity. Mick has overcome personal tragedy and career-threatening injury on his way to claiming the 2007 world surfing title. Universally acknowledged as the most focussed and driven competitive surfer of his era, Mick''s approach to surfing, sports psychology, life and relationships, makes fascinating reading. The essential principles of perseverance, hard work, and overcoming obstacles in pursuit of your dreams, will inspire anyone keen to get the best out of themselves. Ultimately, though, it''s Mick''s humanity, his readiness to give back, which might provide the greatest surprise and inspiration.
