Mick's "retro beach pad" in Rainbow Bay, very near Snapper Rocks.

Opportunity knocks: Rent Mick Fanning’s own “retro beach pad” metres from Snapper Rocks’ infamous Superbank for only $400 a week!

Fifties-fab and pregnant with the fingerprints of the Gold Coast's most successful surfer ever… 

The world surfing champion turned property tycoon Mick Fanning has listed his “retro beach pad” at 2/219 Boundary Street, Rainbow Bay to rent for a very affordable four hundred dollars per week, with a sixteen-hundred dollar surety, refundable if you don’t destroy the joint. 

The apartment, one of two in the duplex, features two bedrooms, one bathroom, and is, even at the slowest canter, or with legs heavy from much surfing, ten minutes walk from the Snapper Rocks jump rock (if you dare). 

Mick, who is forty, bought the duplex in 2005 and two years before his first world title, for $1.39 million. 

The following year he bought another joint for $1.2 mill and in 2007 swiped his card on an apartment block in the same street, number 213, for $3.1 million before selling it in February, this year, for $2.86 mill.

The shock loss, close to a mill after a fancy reno and buying and selling costs and maintenance, was a lesson in the caprices of the Australian property market. 

Rent Mick’s apartment here, move in date May 7.

Would I get the code to the Panic Room in case of stalkers?

Looking at the satellite location shot it’s completely obvious the shit lnp council should remove big groyne at Kirra.
Not only would a wave too nth Kirra from snapper be possible but it allows the sand to do it’s actual pumping job and flow freely north to protect Currumbin and palm beach .

So simple…never happens 😓

so my usual uneventful Sunday routine of morning surf, afternoon sleep, then weekly shop was rudely interrupted today by 2 things
1. firstly, never seen my local supermarket so busy…Anzac day opening hours really fucked me up
2. it turns out, after waking from my grandpa nap…I failed to tie up my loosely fitting shorts properly. so half way down aisle 9, whilst reaching for a bag of dog food…my shorts dropped clean down to my ankles

nothing at all to do with a 400 a week gold coast unit…but I just felt it needed to be shared

The real question is; did you bend your knees whilst up-fetching said shorts? Or straight-leg it for max crack exposure.

As teenagers we lived in constant fear of exposure whilst tying boards onto roof racks. There was always someone within striking distance, ready to rip ’em down

$400 per week?…..as usual I’d say that your sources are unreliable.

This would be a golden opportunity for Mick’s stalker. She could walk around the apartment with one hand touching things Mick has touched, and her other hand touching her… well, you know.

Does the $400/week also cover the costs associated with creating an alter ego?

Na but it comes with an over sized doggy door that your stalker can slip in and out of undetected after cooking you a meal and pooing on your pillow..
