History
Mitchell is one of Australia’s
top Cadet surfers. The powerful goofy footer
from Maroochydore has always been able to back
up his precocious ability with outstanding contest
results. At only 16, Mitchel surfs with a style
and level of maturity only seen in the higher
ranks of surfing.
Out There Management asked Mitchel
to join their management team after he was spotted
at the OE/HB 2001 pro junior with no sponsorship.
Mitchell blew minds with his powerful and on
rail surfing and was instantly pickup by a swag
of sponsors. Since then Mitchell has continued
to develop his surfing and has the whole industry
buzzing about his potential.
In 2002 Mitchell’s competition
results where outstanding. He was consistently
placed in final rounds beating many of his peers.
He also had some photo’s published in
the top national surfing magazines and generally
cemented his reputation as one of Australia’s
rising star’s. He also featured in a local
surfing video and in many TV news interviews.
 In
2003 Mitchell competed in selected ASP junior
series events. He achieved some fantastic results
including a 5th at the Brothers Neilson Pro
junior on the Gold Coast. In August this year
Mitchel proved to the surfing world that he
is one of the best in the world and finished
3rd in the U/16 Quiksilver ISA World Junior
surfing Championships in Durban, South Africa.
Mitchell also featured in his
first double page Volcom advertisement. And
also featured in an Etnies Ad.(see media gallery).
This is a great achievement and proves the confidence
and support Mitchell sponsors have in his ability.
In 2004 Mitchell really started
to show his maturity. He went on several international
promotional trips including going to America
for the Volcom World championships and Hawaii
for the end of season. Mitchell competed in
all ASP junior events and finished the year
in 14th position.
This year Mitchell is focusing
on a top 10 finish in the juniors. He is also
competing in selected WQS events in Australia,
America and Europe.
Mitchell is destined to become
a successful professional surfer. His cadet/junior
career is already been closely followed and
he is ensured to make major upsets as he carves
his way to the top.
