Occy just has the sweetest soul
this ranks up there with one of my favorite occ casts ever, maybe my favorite. occ is really hitting his stride. This one had such a nice flow, with Occ asking good questions but really just letting Rastovich go with it. He has such a mellow mesmerizing voice and so many interesting tales. And so nice to have the video clips mixed in now too. Loved what he had to say about free surf vs. competition, like no judgement at all, noting how competition can be magic at times, even if it wasn't his thing-was nice to hear him acknowledge what jjf did at margaret river. Really enjoyable!
Very cool. He doesn't come across as holier than thou. He admits he creates trash etc but just tries to do his best to make the world a better place. We can all learn a lot from Dave.
Very humble interview from Rasta. It's so true though surfing is a beautiful past-time we are so lucky as surfers but it's a pretty selfish pursuit at the same time. There is more meaning in serving our fellow humans in whatever way we can and to help each other and our planet. One love, one heart :)
@31:19 Occ realizing the beers for breakfast... was probably a bad idea. Legend.
Frankie is the man love surfing the local with him , but Dave you’re the man , true inspiration
I just saw Dave today with his family at the beach . i sat next to him and just watched hi, as dad .. this guy is special . legend ...
Legend! Hats off the Billabong for this fantastic series.
Absolutely the best interview yet! So glad I clicked on this. Mad respect to Rasto.
2 real gems speaking honestly is very good for the soul. Thanks occ
one of the best interviews ive ever seen
rasta fascinating as always, such a legend
great interview.
The best episode of the Occ-cast so far....Wish they'll have One with Margo as well
also waiting for that to happen, i actually thought it would be the first occ cast! margo is the man.
Absolutely !!!!!
Another great interview! Two legends having a chat.
Fantastic interview, thanks billabong, occy and Dave.
So many people into trying to help save our planet don't have a voice because we're not "famous" etc. We're working bloody hard at it but the media pays us no attention. So it really is fantastic that Dave's voice and actions are picked up by media, it makes all us ignored environmentalists so proud of your actions. Keep up the awesome work loving our planet Dave, we all appreciate every bit of exposure you can give our causes!!!
Peace brother...
I bought one of the Greenough step rail boards (9’) back in the early 90’s. Rode it at 6-8 ft Big Drakes and I’ll never forget that first ride. Kept riding it for years at Razors and big Cojo. That board was screaming down the line! Still have it… hanging on the wall. Awesome shape!
The best episode yet! Thanks to Billabong and Occy, keep up the good work. Rasta, you rule!
Dave Rastovich is literally an exceptional human being!
Sick interview guys, stoked
Huge respect for Rasta! Why chase a world title when you do similar things for the better 👊
rastovich interviews the way he surfs--so creatively and smoothly. the only thing i was sorry to hear him say was when he kind of dinged himself for "just" surfing all those years instead of doing activism. To me the arts --which i include surfing like his in--are as important as activism in their own way. a michelangelo is no less than a jane goodall.
Whale-boy! Absolute classic.
Awesome best one yet Occ!
Great interview. And fantastically well produced.
Epicness. Rasta IS my all time fav. Nicely done Occy!
Best one yet Occ... interesting & articulate people & just let them do the talking
Good episode Occ, its really cool to hear what rasta has been up to. Really like some of the boards he's riding too
Thanks Dave for all the good you do for the planet. Great interview guys.
Best one yet
Such a great person and surfer also this Occ-cast series are pretty awesome.
Occy cleaning up the ballroom at 11:48 was epic haha. Legend !!
Just a good old single fin beats it all. You need nothing more. especially the Harbour thrust fin. Amazing!!
Really cool episode!!! A different perspective on surfing and on what surfing is all about!!!
Absolute Legend

Every time I lose perspective and get stressed about some irrelevant stuff, I watch this podcast. Rasta is such an inspiration.
Such legends!!!

Chur
Great episode
LEGENDS
im watching occ from the first podcast, and around the 10th i thought he needs to pickup professional approach or perhaps more accomondating to his guests. I must say he got so much better, that i entirely enjoy his way of interviewing! Well done occ! one of the top episodes! Dave is a legend.
Highly enjoyable
Love the movie inserts!
Great Occ Cast. We need more eco-campaigners like Rasta and slowly we will transform into a world that protects mothership earth from it's current state of increasing degradation to a more sustainable existence.
One more thing. Occ actually lets the guy speak. Doesn't dominate the chat. Good job.
Man, hell yeah.
Eres una persona increible. Que alma tan pura que tienes en tu mirada. Amado en este planeta. Personas como tu hacen que uno tenga esperanzas de que este planeta pueda recuperarse
man...rasta, you riding trusters from 90s/2000s used to be gnarly, i like twins but those were the times. sharp, more power...
That was cool 👏👍
Do an Occ-cast with Laurie Towner!!
Max Maunsell absolutely!
Legends
Keep on going Occular flux. The bouyz from Carlsbad ........well one of the bouys. Great show mate.
Double Legends !! shout out to Bing Fish keel
Best free surfer in the world, normally one would think thats Occ being Occ but not in this case!!
Marks not a man to wear masks Occs Occ!! Who is it then this should be good.. hahah
31:56 that guy on the left couldn't make it. That lip ate him! It's like the 15th time I watch this interview but the first time I notice that. Gotta love Rasta! Such an inspiration for me in many aspects. Go Occy too! Style master.
do one with ethan ewing
Rasta rips!! Best occcast so far.
selfless surfers are rare
Without love we perrish
Please do rcj. He is a crack up
What a super cool fuckin dude
12.40 Add money and competition to surfing and make it into something awful, yet on its own it's one of the most beautiful things you can experience...
Hey occ I love in Rocky. Im a plumber and I’ve worked in earthmoving. I’ll give you my time for any jobs you need done. I’ll also work for freeish....
40:24 ...LOL. Looks like Occy has tapped into the other realm of consciousness. Slow motion that part... would be funny
fuck the podcast had advanced a lot since it started! good job
Is that Grant Hackett in the photo of Rasta as a kid?
hey rorydick007 yeah they were good mates growing up and Rasta was nearly a competitor swimmer also, just hated swimming in the pools
Yewww
Yeewww
Yeeewww
i really like CA but its funny he did tow surfing since he claims to be such an environmentalist
