In the dynamic world of modern surfing, a surfer's feet are constantly shifting on their boards, finely tuned to every wave's pulse. But there's something about Occy that defies the norm-his feet planted, an integral part to his inimitable style. His board of choice a rounded pin tail with deep channels to harness the raw power and drive synonymous with his backhand mastery at this iconic break.
Even at 58, Occy still surfs with a vigor that's both inspiring and nostalgic, a reminder of his enduring influence on the sport. Capturing these moments during events like the WSL and J-Bay Classic has been a thrill. It would be awesome to watch legends like Shaun Thompson and Martin Potter "Pottz" return to these hallowed waves, where every drop and turn tells a story of surfing's rich heritage.
While we revel in the next generation's ascent, there's an undeniable allure in witnessing these veterans redefine what's possible at J-Bay's legendary Super Tubes. Here's to more epic showdowns in the lineup-a celebration of surfing's timeless magic and the legends who continue to shape its legacy. More Please!! :)
