12 slides off @markocchilupo from his recent @billabong campaign. Such a treat to be able to do these trips and score some waves with the 🐂
There’s nothing better than a good bottom turn in surfing. And there’s no better bottom turns than Occy in the bells bowl. Print bordered with ink
The Many faces of a raging bull
“I see pride. I see POWER. I see a bad as mother who don’t take sh*t from nobody.. again!”
Blurry off the bottom blurry off the top
Occ was so tuned in to his rhythm at bells having such a long and storied history there, he knew exactly when it was on. We’d be at the carpark an hour before light to get the best park to be able to watch the waves and start warm in the van so that the body was ready for action when the bowl started to fire.
🤩
4 board quiver and a moment of bliss

Phrwarrrrrrrr!

“The spirituality of it is real for me. I get chicken skin just saying that because I think the ocean is a living, breathing thing and it knows me. When I’m surfing I’m definitely not thinking and I’m definitely not pushing against the ocean… I’m going to groove with the wave and only allow what I can feel is in synchronicity with that moment.”
