November 11 When Adzy Met...Doccy
Adzy sits down with Michael “Doccy” McDermott, a 71-year-old southwest Western Australian surfer and longtime friend, for the first part of a life-story conversation.
Doccy recalls learning to surf in Perth in the 1960s, road trips and early waves down south, travelling through Morocco and London in the 1970s, working on Barrow Island, settling near Smiths Beach, and eventually returning to surfing on single fins.
They revisit formative trips, favorite breaks, mishaps at sea, old friends, and Doccy's welcoming Smiths Valley home that helped shape the Adzy’s surfing life.
