When my son was 15, he came to me and asked if he was Autistic. We talked and I showed him this documentary. He cried, threw his arms around my neck and said, "Thanks Mom. I love you." 💕
I surf everyday and can't get enough of it. I lose my mind when I'm unable to surf. Once you feel so passionate about surfing, you just can't even describe your love for it in words. fucking beautiful vibes. surf for life!!!! Never leave the ocean's side.
After my diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, this movie helped me come to terms with the diagnosis. Thanks for posting it. I have learned to love the way that I think (my special interest is music, though...not surfing).
Wow these comments crack a smile on my face. I have Aspergers and Ive been obsessed with surfing for the past 2 years ago, since I started. I am now on the University of Central Florida Surf B team and I recently qualified to compete in the NSSA Eastern Championships April 6th! Do what makes you happy people!
I'm glad I found this to video to link to from my website about autism. I was married to a brilliant nurse with autism. It was only years later she was diagnosed with Aspergers. Too late. You love these people forever if you love them once. Peace & Harmony Frower
Clay Marzo!!! what a revelation!!! my son is autistic and loves the water as well. Hes only 3 and already riding with papa on the longboard. You will always be his inspiration man!!
I watched this 12 years ago and it has a special place in my timeline here on "earth" .... it is all so bizarre, "existence".... Good luck people. stay blank.
I remember seeing clay about 16 years ago. His style was so raw and wild that I wanted that unchecked confidence too. Even though we are the same age, I really looked up to clay and still watch his videos for inspiration
"He's as alive as one can be." What a brillant statement that could apply to anyone on the spectrum. We don't always appear to be complete, aware people, but we are, and we are living and experincing life even that we may not always communicate it.
I really really don't understand how you, after watching the movie, can put your arm in motion to press the unlike button. This shit is so next level, so radical. Just plain awesome.
Do you have the playlist of songs from this movie? I'd love to just cruise around in my longboard or go back to Cali and listen to these toons. And Clay Marzo is probably one of the most inspirational surfers around.
I’ve watched Clay rip for over a decade and never knew of his situation. Never been one for categories and just take individuals for who they are with all their amazing indosyncrisisies (sp?) That’s what makes us interesting. We were all different and awesome in our own way. Be yourself and f?$k the haters and normalisers. The more we accept each other for who we are the happier we will be with ourselves. That’s my 2c. You do you. 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽
17:20 💯📝Sheeple just survive in their mediocrity knowing eventually they'll stumble upon someone as unremarkable as them to distract them from how useless of an existence they're goin through. Feeling "sorry" for someone skilled beyond your comprehension is the clear giveaway that YOU are actually the one to be sorry for.
He has nothing to prove...for when he competes he loses sight of what really is going on in the moment. When he is alone at one with it all he is at his very best. He is in a league of his own and does not need no ones verdict to be it so.
Getting paid to free surf and make videos is what he had to do with his situation, contests just got to involved for him. Everything with contests, interviews, managers yelling at you out in the water and the sponsors. Dont know what he's doing today, hope the best for him.
hes actually doing a little bit of contests again and is doing very well at them actually! if im not mistaken he got gold at the Padang Padang Cup! Love Clay!!
Too the CEOs of Quicksilver you dropped him why? I'd like an explanation, considering I'm from Florida? One of our most famous and the worlds best came from, Kelly. Why'd you drop him?? My daughter has Autisum. All about sales. Maybe the salesman and CEO kook should stay the fuck off our waves brah. Cause if ever in Florida I'm gonna Jap your paddle boarding ass. Remember it's family our waves. Seen the back story sorry Kelly and rest of you guys in the water. Kelly you took pipe left!!! Clay seen through his eyes. Same as you. Thank you Clay. I enjoy watching your fluild and see my daughter in you, she always wants to watch her vidoes. You kill it buddy. Love your style and surfing. I have an Autistic daughter and I surf. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There was a video explaining why he was dropped (Basically the industry was not doing good and Quicksilver dropped alot of the people whether it was an excuse to thin the herd or they were actually not able to afford to pay). (Without the sponsor dollars, it's really hard to compete with all the travel and entry fees).
Never seen a tail move so fast so smooth. F*** all this current mainstream backside-chickenwing-elbows hysterical-pumping acrobats. Tom Curren, Slate, JJF and this kid all the way.
Swimming is one of my Favorite things I Can’t do Sports I’m also chronically I’ll so i can’t do sports but I Can Swim All day Outlasting my Brothers and Siblings 😂 I do feel more relaxed in water honestly lol 😂 . Most autistic people have something they love Not just people who have Asperger’s syndrome. Including people with More Severe autism they have certain things they like doing to in rituals each day Difficulty with Transitions going from one Thing to another for example Going from The house To Getting in the car to go To the grocery store. Or School. Busy places that Are over stimulating Crowds, lights , Smell’s Sight’s sounds from other things Cars , People, Ect busy traffic. It’s not easy for Many autistic people.
Shark Vs Whale : agree. Competitive surfing not so great for him, competitive swimming he would have excelled - great swimmers physique, and it’s just him and his lane, can block out the stress with a routine. But free surfing .... there’s so much variation. He would have probably got bored with pool swimming.
No. Nothing on earth is worth having autism. I have Aspergers and I could kill to be like everybody else. I just want a normal goddamn relationship in my life.
So because a song had a copyright they remove all audio? What a joke. How about just muting the song track. Makes this video unwatchable. Anyone know what band asked for this? I want to make sure that I never make the mistake of buying any of their music.

That rad. I’m sure there’s not a wandering note in you’re tunes.
Words ‘ can’t describe the level of surfing’ lay Marzo has to offer ..👏🏽💙🤙🏽

LOVE Clay Marzo this is such a kick ass doc.....he is amazing & the soundtrack is sick!! The MGMT song is perfect!
I have Asperger's and I am a regular footed surfer. Clay is the man!
"Waves are toys from God". Well said!
Man, the stoke when he got his surfboard at 09:28 is just brilliant!
I remember seeing clay about 16 years ago. His style was so raw and wild that I wanted that unchecked confidence too. Even though we are the same age, I really looked up to clay and still watch his videos for inspiration
Great doc. Mind boggling what Marzo is able to do on a wave. Really beautiful...
This is great to watch and its amazing how, in just 13 years, we have learned even more about AUD. Its normal to humanity.
Surfers Healing....that bit brought me down a few notches in life. Perspective.
amazing. my favorite surfer for sure
Cheers! Free surfing and get barreled. 🤙

Such A Beautiful Story Inspos For People With Disabilities🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
this is an awsome movie man, thanks for posting
"Surfing is just a sport, it's a lifestyle"
I really really don't understand how you, after watching the movie, can put your arm in motion to press the unlike button. This shit is so next level, so radical. Just plain awesome.
This dude is a for sure icon, hella sick video
great movie, really a true spirit in growth
Love you to the Moon and Back! Stay true to yourself and Ride Them Waves...Forever Young!! 🌊 ✌
Surfing in Bocas del toro is saving my life.
I love clay he rips
Cool, informative video!!
i have asperger too and i feel really identified with him.
I agree with him. I love traveling but I really don't. That statement actually makes perfect sense to me. haha
Do you have the playlist of songs from this movie? I'd love to just cruise around in my longboard or go back to Cali and listen to these toons. And Clay Marzo is probably one of the most inspirational surfers around.

ive been to that place in fiji
TAVARUA!!!!!
coolest place on earth
life changing
Very cool
best surf film brah! it is personal... yet the surfing/editing/music is out of control.
Clay needs to take the path of Rob Machado and free surf for his sponsors. Free surfing is where his mind, body an soul's at home.
We can admire from a Distance Clay.
"Waves are...toys from God."
Clay Marzo ♥️

Luv da AI bro/bra..
"If there were no such thing as barrels, you probably wouldn't even surf" -- Clay M.
35:38 " the waves are the toy of GOD "
lucky for him he was nurtured in the waves
