ASP World Champion Mick Fanning has offered Barack Obama a surf lesson if The President should visit Tweed Australia, according to a story in the Tweed Daily News.
“I’ve actually seen photos of him on the net standing up on a surfboard so there’s probably some basic knowledge there we could build on,” Fanning told the Tweed Daily News. “If he’s able to get to his feet okay I’d probably try and get him doing a couple of turns, maybe even get him working on an air-reverse or a rodeo flip.”. . . “I’d like to meet the most powerful man in the world, plus he seems like decent bloke,” he said. “It would be really interesting to get an insight into what his life is like now he’s the president. . . “I’d have so many questions for him, so hopefully there would be plenty of time between sets.”
Guess it wouldn’t be the first time an Australian tried to give a Hawai’ian some surf lessons.
