Mick Fanning's Hidden Secret


Body-mapping silicone grip designed to stimulate body position awareness and activate underused core surfing muscle groups, balancing mobility, power, posture, and joint alignment.


Firm, yet flexible, rash-resistant fit.


Compression fit decreases lactic acid build-up, reducing fatigue and aiding faster recovery.
*Anyone with an existing health issue, particularly a skin or circulatory condition, who is unsure about the
risks of compression clothing should speak with a healthcare professional before making a purchase.
