OCC-CAST - DEC 4, 2018

OCC-CAST EPISODE 35 FEATURING KAI 'BORG' GARCIA

Likely one of the most physically intimidating people you will ever come across, Kai 'Borg' Garcia is an extremely positive role model with the ability to extract the best version of anyone, even without speaking at times.

The former Jiu-Jitsu World Champion is an integral part of the Hawaiian Water Patrol & community, keeping the world’s best surfers safe as they take on some of the largest waves imaginable.

"It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in your life…it’s what are you doing today."

In this episode of the Occ-Cast, Occy & Kai sit down to talk on staying in the present, being the best person you can be every day, the next generation of Hawaiian surfers & much more.

This is Occy v Kai Borg.

Taj Burrow is often referred to as the best surfer to have never won a world title. He finished runner up multiple times, won 12 CT events, dropped crazy clip after clip, and yet never quite cracked ‘the holy grail’. In this latest edition of the Occ-cast, find out if that fazes him, what his most memorable sessions of all time are, and what is was like surfing against his greatest rival, Andy Irons.

Kicking off by jumping out of a plane together, Occ and Taj also dive into fatherhood, injuries, retirement and little topics like the meaning of life:

“My main goal now is to get tubed and find good waves.”

Sit back and enjoy a chat and some flashbacks with two true icons of surfing.

This is Occy v Taj Burrow.

“No one’s going to do that. That’s absurd.” - Gerry Lopez when first confronted with the idea that people might pay anyone to go surfing.

Mr. Pipeline, Mr. Style, actor, shaper, surfer & snowboarder. Gerry Lopez has lived one of the fullest lives of anyone on the planet, and has stood calm in the eye of the Banzai storm like no-one before or since.

Occy caught up with Gerry at the Billabong house at Pipeline to chat about pioneering the shortboard revolution, surfing G-Land for the first time, and the worst wipeout he ever had at Pipe - literally tearing himself a new one and puncturing his colon.

This interview will have you wishing for the old days, excited for the future and wanting to pack more into your everyday existence.

Mark Occhilupo & Rob Machado are two of the greatest goofy footers to have ever taken to the ocean. One is all raw power & personality, the other fluid grace & humility.

Despite the differences in their approach, they’ve both captured the imaginations of generations of surfers around the globe.

In Episode 32 of the Occ-Cast, the two sit down to chat about what it’s like to have kids that surf, discuss the legendary 1995 Pipe Masters, and explore what it feels like to unexpectedly drop off tour. In the words of Rob: “I’d just had a baby and lost my job and my sponsor and was just like, what on earth am I going to do?”

What followed next was one of the best things to ever happen to him as a surfer.

Dive in and enjoy Occy vs. Rob.

In Episode 31 of the Occ-Cast, the 1998 Bells champ is joined by 2018 Bells champ Italo Ferreira, as well as Filipe Toledo, Jadson Andre, Miguel Pupo, & Yago Dora - part of the new generation of young Brazilian surfers known as the Brazilian Storm.

Occy gets a lesson in tamales & hitches a ride on Christian's motorcycle, and the two cover everything from Christian's unconventional approach to surfing, to paddling out at Snapper with sharks in the middle of the night, and much more.
