Fanning was in the water with Julian Wilson during the final of the J-Bay Open 2015 when what is suspected to be a great white shark became entangled in his surfboard leash.

The nearby Kabeljous, Seekoei and Krom River lagoons host numerous water birds, and are also ideal for watersports like canoeing, boardsailing, and fishing.
