    Loved his breakdown, really trying to be realistic with people and not making it a joke. Brilliant mind at surfing (and other things). Notice also how he talks about his brother doing big wave surfing and others, but never mentions he won the Eddie Aikau big wave competition, one of the most prestigious competitions around, that rarely even happens because the waves have to be huge to call it. The year he won it was massive, and was the last time they've held it.

    This guy is pretty knowledgeable. He must be a Malibu Lifeguard or something. Go video.

    He didn’t say “gnarly” or “brah” nearly as much as I thought he would.

    Its amazing how many people that are holding surfboards in adverts or films dont have wax on them or leashes.

    John John: it’s a toe board but they keep changing to a regular board that’s pretty interesting

    Just for the record, most people don't acknowledge Point Break 2015. The 1991 version is the only one that matters.
