MICK Fanning and Julian Wilson went through the horror of a shark attack, but that’s nothing compared to watch their coach went through.
Andy King was a surfer, himself, before being the victim of an assault in 2004, losing his hearing in the process.
King’s life was turned upside down after the incident, but he regained hope after a Cochlear implant that enabled him to hear again.
The native of Cronulla had to give up surfing, but coached Fanning to through world titles, and is currently guiding the current world No. 1, Wilson.
