Mitch recently parted with long time sponsor Billabong and had this to say:

“I’m sitting here not knowing what really to type but I’d really like to thank Billabong for letting me chase my dream and live the life I’ve lived for the past 11 years. I’m really sad to be parting ways, but there has to be a new chapter for me. My heart still lays with surfing and the ocean so I’m not going anywhere! Really excited to now be myself and live on my own terms…
Thankyou and love u all.”
