Occy at 58 Years old...Yip!

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!! :)
