Two-time world surf champ Mick Fanning talks tubes and lube.

Nice work claiming another world title, Mick. How did you celebrate?

We hired out the top floor of the Q1 resort on the Gold Coast and had Xavier Rudd put on a private performance for close friends and family. It was awesome.

How was it bagging your second?
It was different. The first time it was so intense, but the second time I had a lot of fun with it. Halfway through the year I didn’t even think I was in the running, but suddenly it was all on.

You crushed your old mate Joel Parkinson’s world championship dreams, hey?
I had mixed feelings there. You don’t want to see your mate hurting, but at the same time, it’s also a competition and you’ve got to fight for it.

Who gets the most attention from the ladies, Kelly Slater or you?
Probably him. In France the girls see him and just start crying. It’s like he’s The Beatles. I don’t get tears from any of the ladies wherever I go. Except maybe from their mothers when I leave.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen on the Tour?
Last year in France we were all out drinking and decided to have running races down a main road. Everyone was blind. [Fellow Aussie] Dean Morrison did it naked, which was pretty scary. We’re lucky we didn’t injure ourselves.

Have you ever used sex wax for the purpose its name implies?
No, but I use it on my board. It’s really good wax. I don’t know why it’s called that — maybe the bloke who invented it was a bit of a deviant.
