Welcome to The Temple of Surf Podcast, where we preserve and share the true stories, culture, and history of surfing.

In this episode, we sit down with Jock Sutherland, a true Hawaiian surf legend and one of the most respected watermen to come out of Oʻahu's North Shore. Jock's life and surfing journey span a pivotal era in wave riding, when Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea were still raw, uncrowded, and defined by respect, courage, and community.

Jock shares stories from growing up in Hawaiʻi, charging powerful North Shore waves, and living through the golden age of surfing before commercialization reshaped the sport. This conversation explores what it meant to surf when style, humility, and ocean knowledge mattered more than trophies or fame.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Growing up surfing on Oʻahu's North Shore

• Early days at Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay

• Surf culture before the professional era

• Respect, lineup etiquette, and ocean awareness

• Life lessons learned through waves and time

This episode is essential listening for anyone who loves surf history, Hawaiian culture, and the deeper meaning behind wave riding.
