Thank you for this. I lived in Lebanon as a young teenager. I began surfing when I moved away. I’m now 42 and often think about what the surf is like there.

Arto. Started living the second he fell into… continued living forever. Legendary example.

Yvon im a tennis coach, if u wanna hit some time, let me know, would be an honor.

👍

experimental for the eyes

Wonderful interview. I once had the pleasure too of sharing a session with the pink sail in the Canary Islans

You're doing an injustice to Dane's surfing with this spiritualist hippy dream state music. For surf vids with sick violent footage that has been incongruously paired with its tunes, try the following: MUTE IT...then play this soundtrack instead in the background- kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHuodpqaf9Gnl8k

Nice.......🌊🏄🔥💪👊

Thank you very, very much for your priceless teachings, double D . The history of your progression on the water I will value till the end of (my)time, for once I know what are exactly the steps needed to take for that kind of final " result" and will treasure it as it should be for anyone who enjoy those " crazy trains".

que bien que mueves la tabla y que buen video. yo tambien pude surfear en Libano, que gente tan buena y amable.

yessah

Fantastic !!!

Keep ripping and stay safe 🤙

WOW!!!

Free Palestine!

What a masterclass interview. Thank you so much. Surf until we die! .

Great interview! Waterman legend!!

dat buggah one fine swimmer, plus midface turns

Only five comments so far? From one of the most accomplished watermen we know of? So many of us have dedicated our lives to the ocean. What was so heavy for me was hearing DD speak to the PTSD of surf rescue and the price we pay for being watermen. Everyone around you is stable. Stable job, got a house good car etc. The only thing that made me/us, stable was the ocean. I have never met DD but he speaks as the wise elder with no ego. Young people please listen more, talk less. When DD, Kent B, Roger Erickson, B. Little and so many others were charging the bay in the late 80’s, I was surfing solo in the winter in the North Atlantic on the East coast and lifeguarding in the summer. I moved to So Cal in the 90’s and spent the last couple decades lifeguarding. Hearing DD speak makes me feel like I’m alright for choosing my water journey. Respect to you!

I love your appreciation for Paumalu, for Sunset, I absolutely love the mystery and challenge of the place, the discipline it takes. Those who have never been out there have no idea how heavy it can get.

Thanks Jamie,so many good interviews.never disappoint

im 65 and i remember uncle D saying we never had a surf report or surfline or cameras or someone to tell you how the conditions were how big it was. you just went surfing and what ever was there that day you simlply SURFED ALL DAY FOR THE LOVE NOT TO GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN BUT FOR THE LOVE OF SURFING .

Uncle Double D. living legend. I cherish our talks and its a honor to be your friend. 🙌🏼💪🏼❤🏴‍☠🤙🏼

Double, a favorite human, friend, and spirit. Always near.

outstanding

All single fins? Crazy how they can beat the section so easy kudos🙌

Waiting for part in Tunisia 🙏🙏

Unsane.

This man’s amazing. However we can work together as humans We’ve done it in our collective history through enough times. I live in New Zealand. Fences and keep out signs everywhere. We do have a great deal of conservation area but the fences line up all over this beautiful island. Crazy!

Yo tambien cierro los ojos y veo las holas

Estos son los videos que merecen la pena. Me dejo flotando

Beautiful!

Its gems like this video that remind me how good the internet can be when you find the right stuff. Thank you

All middle orient had bee atacked by israel and u.s

I've missed Kepa, thanks for having him on here. His purity of spirit is undeniable.

So nice to see such a simple loving surfing movie 🎥 In Lebanon where I stayed and discovered some of those waves. 🌊 🎉 Besos de Mexico to all the surfers in the film who are friends and acquaintances 🤠 Loved it… Can’t wait to see the rest cause there is more waves to check out in Beirut, Jounie, Batroun, Tripoli & more 🤙🏽 So chiiiiill Great Movie 🎦 Great souvenirs 🥹

Only surfing will bring peace to this region. This is truley amazing. Aloha from Israel

I loved this, it was a window to the other side of the world and a brief introduction to the people and waves there. It felt like I was on the trip with them. Thank you

Thanks for sharing this thread

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼thanks for sharing

I am lucky enough to occasionally spend time on the beach with Kepa, he is a real gentleman and always gives off a great vibe. Thanks Surfers Journal for sharing.

Solidarity to the people of Lebanon.

Nossa, essas ondas são perfeitas

That water spout at 2:55

50 years on and Big wensday is still played on Australia's tv networks every year or so. Those critics were just inlanders 😂

I'm from Israel. This is awesome <3

Kelly's family could say: "dude, why do you make public our shit, telling about mom stressing, dad drinking" and so on. But you know what? When i hear Kelly's voice talking so calmly about this shit he has gone through, i feel everything is possible.

me alegras el dia y la vida con tus viajes Kepa

Such a great publication
