  • When you think of an adrenaline junkie who lives life “off the chain,” Jacob Szekely aka “Zeke” embodies that.
    From freeway surfing to sending acid drops off the bluff at Steamer Lane to booking spontaneous trips to surf the best waves around the world, he lives a lifestyle of all gas, no brakes.
    Establishing his reputation in the surf industry as the first surfer to ever land a Superman Finger Flip, he has since been raising the bar for what can be done on a surfboard.
    In this video you can expect vlog/interview style content that discusses how Zeke got his jaw broken in two places, his thoughts on localism, the craziest airs he’s landed in surfing, and more!
    If you’re a fan of Zeke or like people who SEND IT BIG, this is a video you'll want to watch.

    Congrats on turning your life around. You had a good parole officer to let you act on your goals. My son made a stupid mistake and went to jail and upon his release his parole officer did everything he could to put him back in jail. I did research on this piece of shit and found out he had other complaints and charges against him. We took him to court and that was the end of his harassment. It’s sad that the system makes it almost impossible to succeed after serving time. Today he heads a production company and is doing well.

    Big disclosure for kids watching. This is generational wealth, not surfing. No offense to Zeke, he seems like a good dude. But it's something that young kids don't get when watching this propaganda. Do some research on the family name and you'll get a bigger picture. Easy to say all that from a 20mil house overlooking La Jolla. Not easy for a kid in the slums throwing it all away for a sticker on a board. Get educated kids.

    Zeke, when you point to yourself as " the guy" doing finger flips first, well, that's just not true. Josh Sleigh and many others were doing that when you were in elementary school. I know you love self-promotion, but deception sucks.

      I was doing legit airs including slob grabs lean grabs and varials in 1988. Guys like tim fritz were doing airs in the early 80s and bird mahelona was doing airs in the 70s even before skaters were.

    Funny he says that spot is too dangerous with 10 people but then has no issue paddling out at Pipe when he goes to Hawaii and there are 100 people out packed into a small area...

    No disrespect bro, but I did a couple 5 year stretches at Pelican bay and this fish wouldn’t last a week in any Cali joint. Dude would most definitely get punked before he made it to the first chow line.

      Lol click bait title for sure. Surfguy has no clue. Zeke wouldn't even last a few months in county, let alone a California prison. Dude is 5'2 lol. Surfguy is a kook

    Zekes the man but take my downvote for your clickbait title. Zeke is rich and privileged, for you to portray him as a con is a kook move. Big difference between probation and prison. Try again

    • @zacharyryan1325
      @zacharyryan1325 8 месяцев назад +1

      Wondering the same thing. He might just be a talented kid that comes from a wealthy family. It’s socal wealth and sports go together like chili oil and rice.

    • @jakedavid2523
      @jakedavid2523 8 месяцев назад

      he used to rent a room in a house with many people. Idk if that is the same house but he's definitely making a decent amount of money since he gets more exposure being pretty big on social media so sponsors pay him more than other surfers at his level.

    • @OfficialSealPup

  • @WjB_96792
    @WjB_96792 8 месяцев назад

    You are looking at progression all wrong. Progression in surfing is not about "tricks" like skating. People have pushed further and further into bigger, heavier waves. Deeper barrels, more powerful flowing turns. We dont have to follow any other "sport" by inventing gimmicky gay looking tricks. As if progression can be measured by the number of spins or board flips! Furthermore i think surfing is a poor fit as an olympic sport for this very reason.
