Australian Dane Henry, ISA and WSL world champion, one of the biggest revelations in the world of surfing today, received the wildcard for stage 1 of the CT 2026, the Bells classic which will take place between April 1 and 11.

Henry managed to win the ISA Open and Junior and the WSL World Championship and received a wildcard as recognition.

He received Fanning at his house under the pretext of delivering something to her, but ended up taking the lycra out of his pocket.

The family got excited and ended up putting on the lycra.

“It’s not every day that Mick Fanning shows up at your house and gives you an invitation to the Rip Curl Pro… Every year, Rip Curl has access to one men’s invitation to the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. Following Dane’s performance last year, we’re thrilled to give him the opportunity to surf his first CT event,” the brand wrote.
