'Get Pitted' Surfer Dude: Where is he now?

Micah Peasley gave a memorable interview on FOX 11 that went viral way before going viral was even a thing, back in 2002. More to this story here: www.foxla.com/news/local-news/...

[@louiscypher7090]

He wasn't faking. You can hear it in his voice that he still talks that way.

[@Rao665]

he definitely was faking it. Sure he talks like that but that old interview he was off the wall...extremely exaggerated. people ate it up.

[@xxtesticals4863]

bruh Louis are you that stupid. Of course thats his voice, what he was changing was his behavior and story - i mean regardless, he still exaggerated on his voice.

[@yesgeorge333]

It’s his accent lol

[@nathjem7388]

yeah I agree it’s not stupid people just can’t imagine being so hyped about something so they think it’s weird

No he wasn't. He's acting like a stereotypical surfer for the media. Surfers don't actually talk like that. If you pay attention the waves behind him suck. He saw a movie one time where some idiot talked like this and he's imitating it

If you listen to what he's saying he's also absolutely full of shit he's talking about surfing and getting barreled when the waves behind.him are total blown out shit. He's acting for the camera and it's annoying and innacurate if you're a real surfer

[@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 !!

There's also not a lot of money in it, but I guess that's relative.

[@blacknight2149]

Aww this is so fun. I love these guys and his wife n child. What a great wrap up to his fun video. Great sense of humor!!

[@curlylarrymoe]

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

[@5starcomment]

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

[@alainabilow]

[@carsonblake7219]

I’m actually really happy he is doing well

[@EllisWarren]

I love finding the originals from random future funk samples. This dude’s living

[@danielmorris9021]

always loved this clip "drop in, smack the lip, WHAPOW"

[@grumpy8133]

Forget the surfer dude, that reporter is beyond hot! That's a solid 9 If I've ever seen one.

[@ctown6592]

Grumpy 9? Solid 7om a good day

[@grumpy8133]

Connor Townsend Townsend Apparently 7s you've seen are everyone else's 9s.

[@assymcgee8773]

For real i had to rewind the video i was in disbelief

[@kglovesag7935]

Y'all still rate people?! That is disgusting 😠😤

[@alainabilow]

@@grumpy8133 IMHO IDK not a 10 🙃 it's OC/LA plenty of💲, grass & 🐎 Her dress is cute. Normally horizontal stripes make you look too wide. That dress works on her well though. Honestly, she was probably much prettier without makeup and before she was hollywoodized. 😊 She was probably a 10 before she conformed to the LA mold for cheek bones, lips, hair, and chest. Cosmetics/medical aesthetics/flashy image are really popular in oc/la so everyone looks the same out here.

I'm disappointed that he was acting. I thought he was a full grown man with the heart of a child.

[@lysergicheadcase]

It's more likely that he genuinely was feeling quite stoked, and just used some slang him and his buddies use to make it more legit. Hardly acting, more like embellishment.

[@nrom5960]

i don't think he was

[@Peekmeister_]

He was lying when he said he faked it , he was just high af

[@nrom5960]

Peekmeister exactly he still sounds the same lol

[@lincoln537]

bruh he wasn't acting. He is just embarrassed of himself and you can see it when she asks him to do ... woopah lol

[@gayatrimade2844]

I love this guy!!! What a surfer dude!!! 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@dis4doughnuts372]

Bless his heart, he wasn't faking anything during that interview.

[@cadrejeff]

when he said “KWAPAHH” and “BAAAAH” it made me feel some type of way

[@pumpituppowell]

Bottom line, this guy is a legend

[@alainabilow]

Agreed

[@xaviers9948]

[@hucklebuckchuck7218]
