Born in Sydney 1974 Mick started surfing at age 6.
Son of Mark Rabbidge and one of the best surfers out on any given day at the best wave in the world right now...Snappergreenmountkirra. Mick won Kirra boardriders club champion twice. Not that easy considering he was competing against world leading surfers like Mick Fanning.
Before moving to Queensland Mick also held the North Narrabeen title for two years. Probably one of the most naturally talented surfers going around. He rides a variety of surfboards depending on the conditions. He still has the 5'6" fish twin fin that gets a run in up to 8' surf at the points (surfed legropeless and without incident) Other times he will be on the mainstream 6'4" or when mellowing out for the high tide arvo session he can be seen fine tuning his longboard act on Dad's borrowed ninefooter.
Mick pushes the designs to the limit and has been a wealth of feedback for fine tuning boards over his long surfing career.
