Show notes

Australia’s rising star Dane Henry joins The Lineup ahead of his Championship Tour debut as a wildcard at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. The reigning World Junior Champion from Fingal Head has been on a rapid ascent – stacking amateur world titles, winning the Newcastle QS, all leading to his biggest opportunity yet. Henry breaks down the surreal moment he learned he’d be surfing Bells, when three-time World Champion Mick Fanning showed up at his door with his very own jersey in-hand. He talks about building a mentorship with one of his heroes, preparing mentally for his first CT appearance, and why he’s approaching the event to “ruin dreams.” The conversation also dives into his upbringing in Fingal Head, a sports-driven family background, and how rugby, skating, and motocross shaped his athleticism. Henry reflects on his recent run of results, the importance of self-reflection, and the support system, including coaches, family, and longtime board sponsor Sharp Eye. From dialing in boards for Bells to navigating friendships on tour (including a Round 1 matchup with close mate Oscar Berry), Henry shares insights into his competitive mindset, equipment experimentation, and what it takes to transition from rising junior to CT threat. He also answers listener questions about the next generation of talent, advice for young surfers chasing the dream, and which tour surfer he wants to face man-to-man. Learn more about Dane here and follow him here. Stay tuned to the first CT stop of the season, the Rip Curl Pro Bell Beach Presented by Bonsoy, Apr 1 - 11.
