For the third episode of Mick Fanning and Stab's interview series Unplugged, Mick and Stab's Sam McIntosh linked up with Gabriel Medina from his current location in Maresias, Brazil. Mick and Sam were able to unravel the famously mysterious Medina. Here's just some of the things we learnt in this interview: First job: No shit, Gabe Medina used to park cars as a six year old. The biggest waves he’s ever surfed have been in a jersey. Subject: Little help? The Pipe Masters forecast was looking huge and Gabe asked Mick Fanning how to surf Pipe. Via email. Gabe regrets the Caio Ibelli drop-in in Portugal. "Isn’t he a dickhead?" Mick Fanning talks his flatmate’s response when Gabe was coming to stay. He knows absolutely nothing about surfboards except he likes em big. “I ride the same size as Jordy" Gabe is the only surfer on tour who likes Lemoore. “They should hold the whole 2020 tour there,” laughs Gabe.
