Port Macquarie’s Matt Banting has sensationally defeated Mick Fanning in his opening round heat at the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast – his first event on the world tour.

The 20-year-old lit up the surf to score a total of 17.76… Against Fanning’s 17.06.

“It’s so good to get a win all the nerves just, I was so nervous going into it, everyone is in the first heat of the year, it just shows you if you carry confidence all year you can in any heat you’re in.
