- Never Before Seen. Fresh off his 1999 World Title campaign Occy hops on the Op Pro Boat Trip Challenge in 2000 and gets (back) into aerial surfing with tips from Bruce Irons, Andy Irons and Shane Beshcen. Occy surfing in his prime and demolishing the poor, unsuspecting waves. He shares candidly about the boat trip competition, surfing with the "kids", being 33 years old and learning new tricks. A MUST-WATCH, never-before-released interview of Mark Occhilupo.
"You know, on this trip, I've learned probably more than I have in three days, or like it's been five days now, in surfing, especially with tricks than I've learned in the past 10 years." -Occy, OP Pro Boat Trip Challenge 2000
The Mark Occhilupo Story would make for an epic movie. Father migrated from Italy to Australia in the 1950s. The legendary name Occhilupo translates from Italian into "the eyes of the wolf"- that would make a great title. He got his first surfboard at age 9 after his sisters grabbed one out of a rubbish heap near their family home. He soon hit the waters off Cronulla and was on his way. Jim Banks and the older guys took him under their wings, and Occy began the contest scene- AND HE WAS WINNING.
By age 16, Occy was surfing in the ASP Trials; by 17, he qualified for the World Tour. Banks set up a meeting with Gordon Merchant, and he was soon signing a contract with Billabong. Gordon threw down the $40K to get young Mark Occhilupo a year on tour; the rest is history. Respect.
Aloha to Occy, the Occhilupo family, his friends and fans- ENJOY!

Mahalo for the positive comment Paul- Occy is The Man.
@@Nalu_TV you make excellent videos, please keep them going 👍
@@paulsmith5167and God made an excellent Occy! We love Occy in our home! Great vid too! Keep ‘em up!
That is so nice to hear him say how Andy and Bruce taught him how to do aerials better, there must have been so much respect all around between them
Whoever is helping get this footage and make these videos is awesome. Gotta be my favorite channel to watch with all the new footage of my favorite surfers from the 90s n early 2000s
How good is this!? Occy at 33- World Champ killing it in the Mentawais 🔥🔥🔥
Epic🤙🤙
Unreal. Thanks for these videos. Quality is sooo good.
Occy has such a low center of gravity. So tied into his board. Curren is the Greatest, but Occy's rail and power stuff is unmatched.
So cool to see how stoked he was to land that air!
Good assessment. Thanks for the insightful comment.
Occy is an awesome surfer, so much power..! at 14 he was already barreling like a pro in his film the Occumentary.
These are easily the best times in surfing god should hold time and let us stay there brilliant footage brings back my good times thank you. ❤️👍

His story is super inspiring and could make for an epic feature film.
