Karl has always been an amazing person, skateboarder and just all around positive influence on the world. Blessed to have known him since 1989. He’s a legend.
Andrew Huberman is a pseudoscience grifter who gives faulty medical information to the masses while also maintaining close ties to alt-right fascists and Qanon/MAGA types like little man Jocko, Rogan, and J. Peterson, etc. Real medical professionals see Hubermans grift from a mile away. Disgraceful.
The stories of him getting hyped for others, regardless of ability, are absolutely true. I remember being 12 years old at Pier 7 and doing a very “little kid” manual trick. Karl yelled out and clapped when I landed it. It made me so hyped. It’s a little gesture, but has a huge impact on others, especially when we’re young. His skating, style, and attitude are what make him a legend.
I grew up in the bay and would see Carl everywhere. Then I went to Woodward Pennsylvania and he recognized me at Woodward as a camper. I felt so cool. Took me under his wing the whole week.
Karl is so down to earth and one of the nicest dudes out there. I remember back in 98 ,Alex Klein introduced me to Karl and he was working at a pizza joint. Karl hooked us up with pizza and just seeing him in person you can tell his energy is so pure. His skateboarding speaks for itself. Such a great dude!!
It's wonderful to witness Karl's optimistic attitude and enthusiasm towards life. I would like to extend my appreciation to Karl and the Nine Club for their consistently impressive episodes.
Keep up the OG interviews! As much as i love the 90's World skaters, I'd love to also hear from the New Deal guys? Especially Ron Knigge, that dude is a competitive cake maker now? Thats a story right there!
Karl is the skate industry! This man has done so much for everyone and anyone in the industry and behind the scenes. Like for real, mans has been involved with so many companies, homie groups, culture, live events, relationships between skaters and brands. The list just keeps on going and his positivity is endless!
Great to hear Karl's stories. I also worked hard to get a passable switch push but I still look like it's my first day skating. I accept my place in the switch-mongo family.
Seems countless people have had the same sort of interaction with Karl - running into him at Pier 7 or 3rd & Army, and he makes a point of saying what's up, or giving props if he sees you land something you had been working on. I personally experienced that on 2 different trips to SF, and Mike York had the same sort of vibe - says hi to everyone at the spot and is just generally friendly. I remember Karl had his son with him skating an OG Tony Hawk Powell board with the crazy Lamar snowboard style nose one time at 3rd & Army, and he recognized my friend's brand on the tee I was wearing, was super hyped and told me to say hi for him. Best dude.
Karl Watson! The best skater and author! I read “My First Skateboard: When Jonas meets Jack” to my kids nearly every night! “On that day, Jonas was first to the spot…”
Pier 7 was kind of an intimidating place and the 90's was the era where skaters kept to themselves. I showed up by myself and see Karl sitting down on his skateboard amongst friends. We don't know each other all, but first thing he does is give a big smile and a hello. Legend and a great heart.
like if u rolled up and you were doing simple stuff, like 50-50 fs 180 out, would Pros hate on you n make u leave? or were they cool n let you learn? like back then u could mess up someone's 411 part or sum'm man😮
Met Karl skating Moraga Commons around 2017. Guy is one of the nicest pros I’ve ever met. He literally learned everybody’s name at the park and did not mind chatting it up with anyone who wanted to. Mans great.
Karl just seems like the best dude. Some really philosophical moments in this episode about the unforeseeable impact of the seemingly small choices you make. This is an excellent episode!
Karl Watson is a real one. He stays true to his vision and maintaining an ethos of respect and camaraderie with skaters whom he receives inspiration from (and, in turn, he is held in the highest regard by all whom he inspires and has inspired over the decades which have paved the path to his eternal legacy). He will always be one of my favourite skaters of all time!
I’ve only ever heard people say nice things about Karl. The first thing people say after his name is mentioned is what a cool dude he is. Even without all the accomplishments and legacy left in skateboarding, he’ll be remembered by many simply because he’s such a great human. That’s really cool.
Best dude ever , Remebering all the 411 parts , the Mad Circle Video ...so good ,.,,So humble and also from a generation of skateboarders where Respect ,Style, loyalty and being humble while still being the hardest dudes ever was so memorable ... So stoked the last couple episodes , Joey , Fabian , Karl , Henry , Chico , York , Castillo , the list goes on// so proud to be aprt of that era growing up with out the internet and phones , 411 was GOD , and nothing could stop us ... heres to all the old heads out there still skating ///90s and early 00s Best time in skateboarding period .. Cheers Nine Club .. Much Love n Respect All the Way from West Oz ..🍻🔥💚🤙
Hell yeah for having Karl on! Remember talking to someone from Japan who said to me how they wanted to skate like Karl. He's so smooth. So influential. Glad to see where he has gone with or from Skateboarding and coming out with the book which I did get for my son. Also shout out to FTC and Kent and his Dad and Mom.
Karl Watson you still owe me a skateboard we skated in Salinas on the 4th of July & you promised me a deck for beating you @ skate still waiting bro!🤷🏻♂️
My homie and I used to skate at Third and Army regularly, we would see Karl there a lot. One day for no reason he calls us over to his Audi TT and gives us each a new set of wheels with the most gracious face, and asks for nothing in return. One of the most humble and nicest dude in skateboarding, a small moment that I still think about over 10 years later.
Saw Karl skate at a demo in 95 .. it started raining and he was one of 2 that kept skating ( the other was John drake ) both legends for that in my eyes !
Me and a homie drove from Oregon to SF when we were 16 to skate EMB in 96. Slept in the car in the park at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Went to Pier 7 and Karl was the first pro we met and we were so starstruck and he was so fuckin cool to us. Seeing that place and those dudes skating in real life was so unreal. One of my fondest memories as a teenage dirtbag in the 90’s.
met Karl Watson when I was like 11? nicest dude - was at a demo at Kirkstone when Slam City Jam's second last? jam happened. Karl Watson was so so so so chill - 2003/2004?
Karl caught my eye probably back in 1989 at EMB doing a switch blunt slide on the curb of the 3 stairs. First time seeing this trick. Forever being etched in my brain.
Crazy to think how deep he was in the scene at such a young age. Check the ftc book for proof! Also absolute style god with own approach and moves - the fs noseslide 270 at hubba is the one of the highlights summarizing his style, ability and spot/city❤
I can't wait to see how the My First Skateboard animated series turns out. Also, mexican born and raised here, thanks for the adaptation in spanish. You guys really didn't have to. Now I'm off to track the physical version here in my country because currently, the only available version is digitally through Amazon. BTW, I'm not caught on on the Maxallure team riders, who is the guy with the Adult Swim series and what's it's name?
Always one of the best Karl’s style personality awesome. The expedition interlock boards he is so right that was one of the second boards my mom ever bought me which was crazy because she hated me skating but I loved that board.
Karl has always been an amazing person, skateboarder and just all around positive influence on the world. Blessed to have known him since 1989. He’s a legend.
Genuinely should get him on the podcast
The fact you are a skate fan makes me open minded even when the internet goes off about you.

Santa Barbara skater est 88 telling you hell yeah!
Nick's Dad is the man for noticing Karl could've gone down the wrong path and invited him in to a better life! So rad!

My story is the Same! Pier 7 back in 96. Nicest guy
I grew up in the bay and would see Carl everywhere. Then I went to Woodward Pennsylvania and he recognized me at Woodward as a camper. I felt so cool. Took me under his wing the whole week.

Karl Watson is the best. Without his innovations, there would be no skateboarding 🛹
Lol settle down now. Don't start crying. 🍻🙋

Karl had a massive influence on my skating. I skated a pair of his I-Path Panther pro model till the soles damn near wore out.Thank you Nine Club.
Just bought both of Karl’s books for my 6yr old ! Can’t wait to read them to him . Karl ur the best !
Karl seems like such a rad guy! Fun episode!
Great episode, all love for Karl, great vibe. Busenitz is my all time favourite pro skater and skate shoe, looking forward to that episode!
I always consider the switch mongo push a switch stance indicator
My homie and I used to skate at Third and Army regularly, we would see Karl there a lot. One day for no reason he calls us over to his Audi TT and gives us each a new set of wheels with the most gracious face, and asks for nothing in return.

Amazing episode! Need more Karl!
My first board, was a Think skateboard 💖
Yesssss!!!!
Saw Karl skate at a demo in 95 .. it started raining and he was one of 2 that kept skating ( the other was John drake ) both legends for that in my eyes !
The acronym was CMO. It was supposed to be Karl, Henry Sanchez, Drake Jones , Billy Valdez, and Brad Johnson and Nikhel
The front foot coming off at hubba is pivotal in style.
You can tell Kelly really looks up to Karl. Great episode.
Me and a homie drove from Oregon to SF when we were 16 to skate EMB in 96. Slept in the car in the park at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Went to Pier 7 and Karl was the first pro we met and we were so starstruck and he was so fuckin cool to us. Seeing that place and those dudes skating in real life was so unreal.

Shoutout to McAteer High School him and Micah were the only dudes that introduced Wu Tang Clan first album in Spanish class. Funny as hell too
what a great story..its crazy how things work out sometimes..love ya karl
Organika graphics was insane and pretty good quality!!! Bless up karl
Love the content, but a suggestion; It would be nice to see some footage of the tricks that are talked about! But keep it up guys appreciate y’all
I hear Roger’s voice from time to time but where is he 💀 2:14:16 Great interview btw Karl is a legend ❕🔥
Finally!! One of the best dudes in skateboarding!!
Such a great episode, Karl Watson is a all time favorite. I remember him from street dreams scene with all that rasta vibes background 😆
FINALLYYYYY!!!! 😩😩😩
I became a wren fan from his MC part. Still listen to the mollusk a few times a year and always think of Karl.
Karl spitting the numbers!! So informative! Love this one, it's an entire gem! 💎
met Karl Watson when I was like 11? nicest dude - was at a demo at Kirkstone when Slam City Jam's second last? jam happened. Karl Watson was so so so so chill - 2003/2004?
Great episode! Love the OG SF stories :) but that Paulo Diaz deck behind Kelly is absolute 🔥
My buddy bought me both of Karl's books when my son was born. My son is almost two and loves when I read My First Skateboard before bed.
Karl caught my eye probably back in 1989 at EMB doing a switch blunt slide on the curb of the 3 stairs. First time seeing this trick. Forever being etched in my brain.
Not only is he one of the nicest skaters I've ever met, he's also one of the nicest people I've met.
Karl’s trick at hubba hideout is legendary!!
Crazy to think how deep he was in the scene at such a young age. Check the ftc book for proof! Also absolute style god with own approach and moves - the fs noseslide 270 at hubba is the one of the highlights summarizing his style, ability and spot/city❤
My favorite human being right here
let's go!!!!
90 to 93 i was skating houston daily
Come back again! Love the energy
Classic 9 club episode i didn’t know i needed 🤌🏽
I can't wait to see how the My First Skateboard animated series turns out.
Also, mexican born and raised here, thanks for the adaptation in spanish. You guys really didn't have to. Now I'm off to track the physical version here in my country because currently, the only available version is digitally through Amazon.

Amazing skateboarder and a beautiful human! ❤❤❤
3rd and Army?!? Army and 3rd?!?
Flashback to original Steve Olson 9club.😂❤
Always one of the best Karl’s style personality awesome. The expedition interlock boards he is so right that was one of the second boards my mom ever bought me which was crazy because she hated me skating but I loved that board.
Karl is the best, great vibes and ep!
