    I met Occy at snapper , Nov22 when we stayed in the unit below his. As a tourist you might expect to be brushed. Occy took a little tine out for a few chats and was an absolute legend. Always loved his style and he didn’t disappoint as a person either! Super nice guy! 👍

    As a grom growing up in the nineties, i watched Occy the Occumentary by Jack McCoy a thousand times over. Changed so many groms lives! I can still hear the soundtrack and see the imagery in my head sometimes while I'm sitting out the back.

      Facts.

    • @mackash
      @mackash 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah because most pros can actually surf good. Occy is gumby. Far from being up there with Slater, Andy, Curren and anyone today. Not even close.

    Growing up in Cronulla in the generation after Occy it gets me stoked when he mentions our little patch of paradise. I remember the first time I saw him back at home after he moved to the Goldie, he was surfing Alley ripbowls with his good mate Richard, it was amazing to see a bloke who went so far around the world back home where it all started and ripping the place apart still.

    @christopherconnolly600 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    LEGEND! I saw him the year he won the title while he was surfing in France. There were a bunch of pros on the same peak and Occy was just leaving them in the dust, and they were not surfing shabby mind you. Total phenom.

      @macrovigilance Pump is a 10 outta 10 for me. Lived in a house with 8 guys & we always watched that movie having a few pipes before the sunrise surf seasons every day. We basically wore out 5 x VHS tapes of it playing it over & over. Great footage/great surfers/great soundtrack 👌

  • @fernandomaron87

    Love to watch his beautiful technique, the way he unleashes it is so unique, raw and powerful yet stylish and classy.

  • @siriusness7505

    I rented " beyond blazing boards " a hundred times in the mid 80's.
    Occy was the highlight, along with the soundtrack and the Padang Padang footage.

    @randiseriss ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I read his book. I was so stoked about his journey. I believe he was meant to have a comeback and God showed him that when he had a vision of the trees bowing in front of him like the winning circle and then they told him he had won the wsl

    Occy loading up his bottom turn is one of the most iconic images in surfing every time he does it.

  • @timblizzard4226
    @timblizzard4226 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Its really interesting to hear occy talk about technique and style. Now, most surf coaches really emphasis arm movement, but occy just surfs with his core. It just goes to show that there is still room for different styles in surfing.

  • @markbrown-sb2zm

    I would love to meet Occy🎉. I've surfed California as a young man and I've always been a big fan of Occy. He's only one day older than me and I would truly love to surf his and his son's wave creation down under. C

  • @lionelsimon8567
    @lionelsimon8567 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember surfing with him and a group of top surfers in 1987, it was in hossegor at "les bourdaines" with a magic sand beach break, there was at that time tom Caroll, Barton lynch, Damien Hardman, and others,... great souvenirs!

    Overrated surfer. He is bit of a gumby. Never understood why he won comps and was hailed as one of the best. His carves are just sloppy rail digs. Half the wave is him trying not to fall off.
