Mick Fanning held off Gabriel Medina’s aerial assault in the finals of the 2013 Quiksilver Pro France in solid 6-foot swell. Fanning marched through each round of the tournament with steadfast focus and wouldn’t be denied. His win pushes him to the front of the ASP World Tour standings just ahead of 11-time world champ Kelly Slater. Looking to seal his third ASP title, Fanning still has to contend with two rounds of the world tour with stops in Portugal and Pipeline. “Mick’s really the most consistent guy…,” said Kelly Slater of Fanning’s performance in France. Time will tell if they prove to be words of prophecy or yet another tactic from the surfing world’s most ardent strategist. In the meantime enjoy the highlights from the final.
