[@aussiesurfer805]

@@EdwardTCat trying it once ain't going to get it done though ..... you won't be able to even paddle properly after your first 6 to 12 months of regular surfing.. Surfing, to the level that you can get "soooo pitted" and "smack the lip - waapah" is one of the hardest things you can do... It literally takes years, surfing 2 or 3 hrs nearly ever day, to reach that level .. You also have to "pay your dues" along the way, with a lot of beatings, hold-downs, stitches from cuts, and what feels like near death experiences in the process ... This is one of the reasons it creates that level of shear excitement, thrill and "stoke" that it does when the waves are good and you're tuned in ... Don't get me wrong, there are levels to this thing, with excitement and stoke to be had at many different milestones e.g. 1st stand up on white water , stand up on green water , do a turn , do a top turn, race down the line, duck dive etc etc - but the "it's better than sex" level takes a lot of time and dedication to reach !!

Love how hes acting like he was faking it but you can tell that was literally him

[@mikevanholsteijn]

whappoaaah!

[@carsonblake7219]

I’m actually really happy he is doing well

[@jeffmoore8607]

Seems like a genuine humble surfer dude to me. Nothing wrong with that!

[@jonathanshaw7355]

In every generation there is “the dude”. Great guy.

[@roybatty-]

Bro immediately got his GED after the first interview.

[@Mario_1611]

I don't know why, but I'm so genuinely happy to hear that he's alright.

[@toynazi]

1:35 That reporter is a knockout!!!

[@curlylarrymoe]

Faking it? He smoked so much weed. Completely obvious.

[@ronpilchowski9898]

Everyone should give the same interview

[@Justin_Marrs]

I saw this video probably 8 years ago and I still reference it, often.

[@JakeyGamingJake]

Dang, he's trying sooooo hard to come back from that lmao

[@slytub]

He nearly lost himself again when he had to explain pitted 😂

[@andrewbertrand3102]

LMAO Did he almost say "I was baked" at 1:14 of the video? That explains it all.

[@11UncleBooker22]

Mean while he's in incredible shape and grown up. If anyone would have interviewed me on some random day at that age I shiver to think what I may have said.

[@eastsiderc]

This was absolutely a fantastic stumble upon vid!!

[@davinator225]

Hes an inspiration to all surfers

[@HB-ud5fg]

He wasn’t faking, I can tell when someone’s acting, that wasn’t acting. If he was he deserves an Oscar!

[@ino7604]

Id have mad respect for the man if he just admitted on camera "ahhh well I was stupid baked at the time of that interview"

[@dustin9035]

That reporter is stacked!

[@GhostEntertainmentTV]

He did a good job at acting mature until the end where he couldn’t hide it any longer. The news reporter is cute the way she said WOOPAH? at the end too 😂 glad you did this this should be a series, where are they now of semi famous meme people

[@5starcomment]

"I was seriously faking it" - his wife...

[@alainabilow]

Burn

[@WilliamSanOriginal]

I was smiling and laughing at the surfer until 1:36 after that my eyes were on the reporter.

[@ricardogonzalez8509]

Off_time stuffs don't blame u she got jugs for days

[@avxrevo]

Ricardo Gonzalez sundress just makes everything better

[@Qistyx]

Which pair of eyes

[@screwyrafe1154]

Trust

[@johnpoff7792]

Reporter looked like she wanted to get pitted. Wooopah!

[@TacticalBe]

Hahahahahaha

[@oroshikarasu7769]

Foooopah!!

[@performancegroup310]

Nice tatters

[@tommythomas6553]

One of my favorite videos I’m checking in from Cocoa Beach Florida 🏝🏄‍♂️🏖🏄‍♂️

[@CR-ql3ng]

1- I don't believe it was faked 2- Not sure why he would want people to think it was fake...it was so endearing

[@ckuh]

cus some people laughed at him and thought he was dumb so hes ashamed... maybe?

[@akgotgame1987]

The guy’s still in superb shape, has a banger of a wife and a cute kid, runs a successful business doing what he loves and clearly got the hot blonde reporter smitten in full view. He was winning back then, and he clearly is now.
