A Conversation with Andy Nieblas | SURFER Magazine: Alternative Lines

Orange County based log maestro, Andy Nieblas, is currently in a complicated relationship with Gabby-his gold, fourth generation, Ford Econoline conversion van. SURFER recently gleaned this awesome fact, and several more, after sitting Nieblas down in front of a camera to learn more about the man behind the mind blowing traditional-logging lines.
Hit play on the video above to watch Nieblas defy the laws of hydrodynamics with his fancy footwork, share his innate connection to the waves he surfs everyday and more.

ran into this guy at doheny over summer before i knew who he was. I pushed his board back to him after he lost it so we're basically best friends

[@Chewygsxr]

I have many good pictures of Andy as a Grom at the Bone Yard, my favorite one is of him getting covered up on a 2 foot wave, he was Amazing to watch. Glad to see he’s doing well. 🤙🏼

I'm so confused...is it still nose riding if you stroll up to the tail of the log? Makes it look way too easy.

[@Sonofawildanimal4241]

The thumbnail for the video looks like he’s pooping while sticking his head in the barrel backwards.

[@williamhanley7031]

I'm not digging the facial fuzz but the surfing yes. To young to rock that face hair. Looks terrible. Unlike his surfing. He's a master

[@toroscosmicos9889]

Forced style. Not natural.

[@jimzzful]

Anyone surfing without a leash at a popular beach gets a thumbs down from me 👎
