The kings of style, ultimate influences- Occy and Curren. Thanks Brad, you're the best too bro!

Damn. I just learned something. Can’t believe Brad just opened Occy’s eyes to his own head positioning!!
Awesome.

It’s so incredible to look and listen as these two absolute legends pick apart the fine details of movement and just what makes Occy’s style so unique and functional

Thank you both!

Brad Gerlachs backhand was my inspiration, a natural footer that was different and made me feel like a natural could have a backhand like Occy’s
Now I know why, the last shot of Gerr no wonder I thought he was the best
Very informative
Cheers gentleman

I love the breakdown and conversation. Awesome video, Brad.

That was sick ! ❤occy and gerr

Incredible. Learned so much right there. #majorinspiration

So good. Thanks Brad, Occy my all time favourite too and that gives a glimpse into explaining why!

Love the technical discussion. Hope you do more of these with more legends.

Two of my favorites .

Great chat and breakdowns🙏 Occy is one of the GOAT’s.
But you are up there, Brad, 2nd in the world in small waves. Cortez Bank/Big Wave pioneer and charger and Comedian, love the extras with Snips & the boys, can't remember the movie, hilarious, I watched that movie over and over🙏🤙

Great stuff mate, Occ is my all time favourite too, amazing bloke, amazing style. Your section in September Sessions is one of my favourite parts in a surf film, killer style. Cheers Brad.

Please do a part 2 🙏

That was sick!

Occ is just a straight up MONSTER. I've been so fortunate to see him surf in person, more than a few times. He's the kind of surfer that you would normally look at and NOT see how he could surf SO well-- so elegant and precise, because he doesn't have that whip-thin, anorexic look to him at all... but he paddles out and you watch him just push the water around and bend it to his will-- it's truly unbelievable. I'm a bigger guy as well, so I was always inspired by him and Carrol-- Pottz. Even early on in this vid, Gerr is talking about Bud Llamas, who was a stockier, thicker guy too. Power is something sadly lacking in most of what I see personally in the lineup these days. Certainly lots of talent-- some great young people out there for sure, but I just miss that old power style-- even Kelly surfs with a lot of power in big waves. Kinda why he's SO amazing, because he could do the small wave thing as well, because he's not a big dude. I miss seeing Andy Irons out there, throwing water around, with that unorthodox style he had. So much power there-- like Gerr says "I like people's weird styles..." I totally get that as well-- the body position of a lot of the better guys, it's just so gorgeous to watch-- it's beautiful in it's awkwardness, if you will. So much to learn and glean from watching these people do their thing. It pushes me, even at my age-- to surf better, be a better WATERMAN-- and still be able to develop and change... evolve.

Great clips, especially the drone.  🤙 from California

Pretty darn cool!!
