i think the short answer is 'kinda' @goofy, there's an article in surfer about him, well-above average tho I'd say, here he is donkey riding:

Wonder how many times Micks been in that position.
I remember watching the old Quik movie ETR when I was 14-15 and Mick was getting sooo tubed at Kirra.
My mind couldn’t comprehend how a skinny little kid only a couple of years older than me could get tubes like that. I’d never seen anything like it

I've never understood the aggro towards waves by some surfers...Now this fella may be telling a mate or photographer or a potential dropin or a horrendous close out section coming up where to go but I've never understood guys telling waves to go get fkd... Some kind of competitive mindset against nature? If that's the case it telling of the state we're in... Please surfers, remember yr hippy peaceluvin roots...

Even after so many years, that step never ceases to astound. Freaky frame grab, crazy stuff by Kipp. I assume there is vision of the carnage that followed?

There seems to B a FNP Painting on the Face , wishing Kipp , Bon Chance with The Step , mate !

A Bit like Pipeline and Chiops ,in that it looked Unridable until , Someone Rode IT .

Basesix. Definitely a Bradshaw figure or if you look closely, a fuzzy woolly Koala. A bit of fun.

After a Closer perusal , its a Rainbow Serpent .
Spreading out it's head out , to hold the Lip Up , 4 Kipp .
It's a real strain on the Old Snake , but definitely helping imho .
Whatever it is , it sure is a Classic photo .

I'm still seeing a mohawked doberman-king, snout pointing toward the lip, clutching his right shoulder in pain, blood spurting from the inside of his left elbow. maybe it's just getting late.

NEWSFLASH!
Margaret Rivers self proclaimed worlds best builder, Mal Caithness, 108, has today been rushed to hospital after experiencing a hard on so extreme that the end has actually blown off sources say.
A witness claims Mal opened Swellnet only to be hit full frontal with a L.E WOTD and within seconds the colour drained from his face as the blood made its way elsewhere.

I like today’s photo a lot. It’s not the usual angle. It really shows the glory of a beautiful sun-dappled cresting wave on a blue sky day. Soli giving the wave a crowning white spray as he speed banks down the wall.
It makes you want to go surfing.

In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.
