The couch... Then those classic Jack McCoy films Pump Green Iguana and Bunyip.. the Desert Challenge and then his amazing competitive comeback to win the 99 World Title. The most unique and stylish goofy footer to grace surfing!
Occy is a true champion. Man i can watch the green iguana a million times. And the occ just blows my miind every single time o eatch it. I saw him recently and finally got to tell him how much that video and his surfing in it means to me. I was surfing winkipops the same time he was surfing his winning final at the 98 Bellls. I was catching the same lines of swell he was riding a couple hundred metres across the beach. I couldn't believe how fun that surf was.
Goofy legend. Wish there was a better way to describe a left hand board rider other than Goofy. It doesn't do legends like Occy any justice. Stood next to the fella on the rocks at snapper one time and turned to him and said gday. Friendly fella. I was star struck. Little NZ surfer seeing a legend in the flesh.
Occy was great. But there are too many cut off/shortened clips in this video. I mean right in the arch of a powerturn, or just as he goes completely vert!
Idolised him as a grom, even bought his shoes. Surfed dbah recently where he attempted to drop in on me but missed the wave. I smiled and said hey as he was pretty much paddling on top of me in a desperate attempt to snake me. He replied with a literal grunt. I laughed and paddled away while his band of middle aged kook dads laughed at him scorning me. Reminded me of high school where occy was the queen bee being followed around by a posse of awkward teenage girls with low self esteem who were just thankful that he was picking on someone else for the moment. Safe to say he isn't one of my idols anymore.

My favourite surfer ever, what an amazing story. Such power, best backhand surfer ever.
hes a bit of a wave hog
& his dvd "surfing made easy" is best intro to the sport i've seen ☆
Nobody since has pulled more powerful backhand turns at JBay. Mega years later the image is imprinted in the brain
Saw Occy win at Fistral Beach on his comeback in the mid 90s, great power surfer
U live in cornwall
Definitely one of my gromhoood heroes...
What an absolute LEGEND!! ❤❤
Occy has Charisma... He is a Legend.
just met him last week and got my old raging bull signed by him, glased over it with resin so i can still surf
My favourite surfer growing up
Used to see Occy all the time in Coolangatta riding his bike or walking . He always said hello and was friendly.

When ever I’m out at dbar and see him I just sit back and watch! Such a legend
What do you mean was it's more like is one of the best surfers of all time Nuff said 👍🤙
saw 5-6 occy airs in this vid. didn't know he even knew how to do airs.
The "raging bull" is a freak of nature and one of the wonders of the natural world.
A true force to be reckoned with, still...
Onya mate 🤙
Occy is so cool 😎

It is because this guy rips off other peoples footage and is trying to skirt copyright laws. Not gonna make it buddy with that plan.
Crunoola!
The only man to pull off the manbun.
jason momoa looks cool af with it too
@SaulGoodmanSaul yeah, think he pulls it off too 😁
Occy’s backhand is sick but Rocky is slightly better on his forehand. I just came here for 7mins of Occy clips YEW!
Well done Occy..... You rip😊
Occy
Just for future reference, it’s pronounced “ kranulla’
Spelt Cronulla

Was that Cronulla public, shazz
The old timer would still run rings around you
He's like a goofy-footed Buttons. And he is the most goofy footed of all goofy foots.
A great.
Not knocking Occy, but Slater is still surfing at 51, so he wasn't the trailblazer on that
and youngest surfer to win pipe
Hated at his home break, drop in king
Sarge mmmmmmm
the raging bull
Any gromit want my old tracks , north nsw , shazz
Hand down, man down
Cron ulla . How to say. 99% of Aussies don’t know who he is
This man is absolutely over hyped.
He was fortunate that surfing in his prime was not as competitive as it is today.
Yeah nah
He surfed more than 5 times daily LOL😅
Ah yeah actually he liked his powders.
Helluva nice guy..just a normal guy at the bar...
