Fanning commenced his surfing journey at the age of 12 when his family relocated to Tweed Heads, New South Wales. Growing up alongside fellow surfer Joel Parkinson and attending Palm Beach Currumbin State High School, Fanning began making a name for himself in 1996 by securing a top-three placement at the Australian National Titles.

In 2001, Fanning entered the Rip Curl Pro competition at Bells Beach as a wildcard entry, winning the competition and subsequently being awarded the title of Rookie of the Year in 2002 after triumphing in the Billabong Pro. This victory granted him a spot in the World Qualifying Series’ (WQS) Championship. Following a hamstring injury and subsequent surgery in 2004, he made a remarkable comeback, surprising many competitors and solidifying his status as one of the premier surfers on the ASP World Tour.

Fanning joined the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour and WQS. In 2007, he clinched a victory at the Quiksilver Pro en route to a World Title Campaign. He triumphed in the Santa Catarina Pro in Brazil, securing the 2007 ASP championship. A groin injury hindered his progress in 2008, but he reclaimed the championship in the following year after winning at the Pipeline reef break. He achieved another victory in 2013, once again at the Pipeline. In 2015, he secured his first win at the World Qualification Series by emerging victorious at the 2015 Vans World Cup.

One of the most significant events in his career occurred in July 2015 during the J-Bay Open 2015 finals. He encountered a shark, suspected to be a great white, which swam alongside him. Fanning displayed exceptional bravery by punching the shark when it bit his leash and attempting to use his board as a barrier while swimming back to shore. Fellow surfer Julian Wilson also tried to assist Fanning, and a rescue boat eventually scared the shark away. Both surfers were awarded a shared victory, and the incident received extensive international coverage.

Researchers later suggested that the shark may not have had any intention of attacking him.

In his personal life, Fanning married model Karissa Dalton in 2008, but they initiated divorce proceedings in early 2016. Additionally, he is a supporter of the National Rugby League club, the Penrith Panthers.
