Occ-Cast Episode 30 featuring Christian Fletcher | Billabong 

Best occy interview ever, we need more personalities like Christian

Just now realized how much I like Christian. Would have never guessed how cool he was without this interview

This was a great interview, C.F is a legend. I witnessed his surfing at desert point in 2007. He was wearing a cap at the peak and paddled into a beast, after his bottom turn he flipped his cap backwards and proceeded to pull into a long macking pit. I'd never seen so much style with zero fucks given. I bumped into him later that week at "Twice Bar" in Kuta, The guy is so down to earth, he's living in the right frequency. cheers Occ.

30 years ago Christian Fletcher surfed better than 99% of people TODAY! Straight up living legend

How good is the internet. This is quality television.

What a fkn legendary interview I just witnessed. My two favourite surfers in the world. Two of the most original genuine authentic fkn legends that have been in this industry since groms and never ever sold their sources, their souls, their opinions. Two fathers and teachers for us, the new generation. Thank you so much! Peace.

Christian has heaps of confidence, respect, humor, humility, and heart. Iconic style, totally unpretentious and real. This is the best interview I've seen of him. Great job Occ!

Fletcher Christian led the mutiny on the Bounty. Christian Fletcher led his own mutiny and always marches to the beat of his own drum. Much respect for one of surfing’s colourful characters.

Skateboarding gave me strength, power and self-confidence for my entire life. snowboarding gave me joy and haven on a board. and surfing finally open my eyes for the wonder of life and healed me from everything what burdens me, on my way to what i am, a happy hard struggling and kind of wise person, who loves life in every second (peace)... Of course there is music, love and other things in the world....but, i dunno, boards are kind of magic and fuckin awesome. What has it to do with this interview? ... I saw him just a few days ago at un's, kuta, and he let me think. Hes a rebel like me, and he gives me just a good feeling that im following still the right way. Im born far away from every skatepark, ocean or mountain...i traveled a lot, im 43. 30 years of skate snow and surf! Live to the max! Love your dream!

CF is the man. a legend of a different era. I almost forgot how counterculture the sport was...

Herbie Fletcher is an all time inspiration for me. I've never met him but he just seems so genuine, humble....great guy. I like all of the Fletchers.....I just think Christian and Nathan are so blessed to have a father like Herbie.

Best one ever !!! I like how he didn’t wait for Occy to ask any questions… he was asking and answering . Christian fletcher Idol 🙌🏾

My favourite Occ-cast. Christian had a rough life, but damn, he speaks his mind and is spot on about the WSL, weakening of culture, bratty kids etc. Burnout or not, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Trooper. Salute.

The raw, real and unfiltered is what we're a fan of good on you CF. Classic Occ rolling with it, good on Billabong for being core enough to blast this content

Total legend. Futuristic surfing back in the day. First aerial attack specialist.

Christian and Nate his brother both killed it

What an iconic surfer/skater Christian is....yeah i think he looked much better when he had long blond hair and no tattoos at all

Aloha Christian! When you were two weeks old I held you in my arms at your parents house at pipeline. Your mother, Debbie and my wife at that time, Troyce Roertson, were friends same school and neighborhood and that shit. Debbie invited us over to see her newborn, you, and so that is how that happened. My name is Whitey which probably means nothing to you but always loved finding out how you were getting along. Fun interview. May the sun always shine on your face and the wind be at your back! Ride on son!

Occy’s little muggy face when he gets to sit on the back of CF’s motorbike at the end makes the whole video.

So many people try to hate on Christian and judge him because he was out doing them ! He kicked their ass in this sport!

When Christian said Dino smoked weed, Occy's face was Priceless!

his airs look like they're straight off a vert ramp, super easy to see the skate influence on his surfing

The whole Fletcher family is radical!

Christian Fletcher for WSL commentator ! Would be amazing ! xDDD

Just two legends getting together to BS. Tough to beat a tamale and a couple of Silver Bullets. Great to see Christian still charging. Really enjoyed the interview Occ! Cheers

The hilarious line ‘carrots or psychedelics’ needs to be a slogan on a t-shirt soon. 😂

Fletcher = Legend

Also love the fact the Christian asks Occ what a regret is. Perfect! Both of those guys were my hero growing up. Classic. Not sure who selects the people for the OccCast, but its awesome. Would be keen to see Pottz, Munga, Richie Collins, Johnny Boy Gomes, Matt Branson, Todd Holland to mention just a few.

I love this dude

I love this guy's directness and honesty. Also agree with him in most if his opinions

Fletchers are one of a kind. Love the passion

Occ: "So Christian, I know you've been sober, do you have a message for the kids?". CF: "weed is a wonder drug" Occ: 😟 Everyone else: 😂😂😂

Pure gold. “What you got there?” as a Christian rolls a beat- up old wheelchair with a few tamales purchased seconds ago in the alley, “A table“.

'It was a fucking sea monster'😂😂😂 2 ripping blokes having a yarn🎯 Cheers Occy

best interview and best interviewee - two of a unique kind

Met Christian at snapper that night he said he was going surfing I thought he was joking, he said he does it all the time at pipe! We talked about half the content of this podcast.so good to see his name come up on the podcast. Stoked to have met him he's a unique surfer and person out of the box for sure!

R.I.P. Justin Roperson. Christian = Legend. 100% right about pro surfing now. Good to see a truthful version what has been lost in our sport. And his honesty is to be commended. Stale fish airs front side was my go to heat win trick. Sooo sic! Much love and respect brother.

✨More Fletcher✨

there's more surf in these guy's toenail clippings than I will ever know !

These two had a awesome conversation. Legends x 2

Hahaha Occy try to eat the corn husk on the tamale. Legends.....

The definition of ripper in the Webster’s dictionary. Christian Fletcher. Yeww!! Archy is heavy but this guys a legend. Stoked.

Occy , thanks for the great interview, I always respected him and his surfing!!! True pioneer of modern ripping! Please keep up the great content brother!!

COUNTER CULTURE FULL TIME MODE :) the real combo land : SOUL / FREEDOM OF SPEECH / SENSE OF HUMOR and above that all VISION . One´s gotta love this bloke . Good on ya Fletchie

Occy is the best!!!

Christian Fletcher is a legend. Great interview,hope to see you in Vero Beach one day.

Christian speaks his mind, very refreshing.

Occy you are amazing at communicating. Masterful interviewing allowing the opportunity for natural conversation. You presented this man like he deserves as a true legendary pioneer and champion. Many, many kids looked up to him and were inspired. You let this story develop into a piece of historical significance.

He said what’s a tamale lmao

Loved this interview Christian just flowing it, no bs, no filter, just like it should be

The best Occast, not even close.

Both these guys but Christian and Nathan are my top two of all time

Damn. This was one of the coolest podcasts I’ve seen in a minute

Good stuff, Occy's face on the back of the Motorcycle is priceless!

Loved this! Christian & Matt Archibald were to Surfing what Nirvana was to music when we were in our teens. Insane Surfing, so out of the mould, was a really cool interview.

Great interview, Fletcher is the man he's a total original hard to find these days it is what it is, take it, or leave it he doesn't give a shit.

A clip of this just popped up in my Insty and I cam straight here for the whole thing. Such a real and epic interview. I love the way he started right off lighting a ciggie. Occy was clearly worried about dissing the WSL and his pro friends. I love the junkyard setting. Funny that Occy never had a tomale. It looked like he was trying to eat the corn husk! Great soul surfer interview! Bonus: He loves Trump!! Smart man!

Occast keeps getting better and better.

THE BEST Occ Cast of ALL Time. time time time.

Hahaha cant believe no one told Occy how to eat a tamale

The best, CF rips. Original n radical

I grew up skating. A little bit surfing. Watching Christian do airs on waves like skating was mind blowing. Sux tho, coz he was a punk skater/surfer and wasn’t scored. Nek minit clean cut slater started doing airs and became the youngest world champ. Who knows how many titles Christian would’ve won. He was way ahead of his time.

2022 hats off to occy for trying his best to wrangle the legend…epic

LEGENDS... for the kids.. lmfao!

THIS INTERVIEW IS GOLD! LOVE

Awesome the best part Occy in the motorcycle 😁😁

that's my new motto I'll do what I want when I want with whom I want... I love it

What a legend. Hell yeah Christian

Love the pic shots of Occ and Christian on the bike. If Billabong printed that pic on a shirt i'd definitely buy it. hahahaha classic

goddamn I love these guys.

Occast bring it back! Hows Occy eating a tamale! Husk that

Legend thank god for true Americans!

Christian is completely happy in himself. He has a fucking great story. He has stories outside of surfing

Hi Christian.. this is my second time watching this interview, and both times I was impressed with your insights. Fun story, I knew your mom Dibi back in the "Doheny Doper Days" before she met Herbie. We both went to San Clemente High.. and graduated in 1968, "The Summer of Love" (Yes, that's one of my old pictures..). She hung out with us__our tight little group at Doheny all summer, we would smoke weed, drop acid and surf (pre-harbor).

THIS IS SUCH A COOL INTERVIEW

Favorite Occ Cast so far

One of the funniest interviews, classic.

What’s a tamale? Did someone tell Occ u don’t eat the husk?! Classic

Classic legends. Hilarious and so rad. Occ loves the tamale.

Still a wild child in his older years. Very cool.

Awesome interview!!! Been a Christian fan forever

Great One guys. Christian's so random...and...kinda right on! Such a Legend! That was fun and funny to watch.

I’m digging this episode and had to pause it to make this comment. I remember seeing Christian back in the day in mags doing his thing. He’s great. I love what he said about today’s top surfers being “jocks”. He’s right. I’m old school, and, he’s right. They are suppressed in their claim for fame as a remember all the real surfing characters...Buttons, Rory, Jay, Johnny-Boy, and Jason. Right-on Christian!

Expect the unexpected with this guy, great interview!

Damn!!! It’s so cool when one of the guys you watched during your whole life isn’t an asshole!!! Good on ya Christian!!!!

God bless him. I like him so much.

Hit the nail on the head with that "Surfers are all jocks now". Not only is there no personality in surfing there is very little difference in style or performance. Nobody on the tour is really breaking new ground. The microscopic equipment adjustments and homogenous approach make it like watching a glacier move. Back when you had guys riding Twins and Singles and Thrusters everyone was on a different arc it made the whole thing much more interesting IMHO.

I like Christian big time. Speaks his mind, like it big time. It’s refreshing

The Occ-Casts - Keeping it real.

“No I’m not the first one to do an air, that’s subjective, but yes I’m the first one to do an air.” Haha legend!

Christian is a legend.

This interview was sick! Man, more balls to the walls dudes!

2 legends... Loved it!!

Absolute legend!!

Christian is still alive... amazing.

christian tells it how it is, such a legend. great occ- cast!

My all time favourite , thanks for the honesty

Christian telling it how it..spot on mate. Ripper interview yeew

Occy is so good at this. Love these videos.

you guys are living legends ! christian: you've been such an inspiration...all the way to the west coast of Lisbon, Portugal. Start your own vlog man ! The world of surfing needs you more than ever ! And please shoot that trip !
