Mick Campbell, Pro Surfer "The Tour Can Be Brutal"

November 25th, 2009
It's been 15 years since Mick Campbell first left Town Beach, Port Macquarie, to take on the world.

So what's changed in that time? Cambo looks back at the differences, from the frivolous (the events' buffet carts), to the serious (once empty breaks are now full).

One thing that hasn't changed -- according to a late bloomer who's watched a dozen next-big-things fizzle out -- is that teenagers, regardless of talent, are far from the best equipped to handle the expectations and pitfalls of tour life.

Check for Cambo's complete candid profile in the next couple of weeks.
