STRIDER WASILEWSKI - Shark encounters, Dogtown, the North Shore, Kelly Slater's only East Coast tour

[@SaintVincentTheDogg]

This is the realest I’ve ever seen strider. Rad stories. Connor does a good job of letting people talk- that can be tough as an interviewer

[@jaycee571]

Holy $## !!!!!!! Now this is the best podcast the WSL has done. Congratulations to Connor for just letting strider talk For those that don't know Marvin Forster was THE craziest scariest Hawaiian surfer. Striders been there and done it ALL but I've never known about his younger years and the adversity he faced. Thank you so much Strider and the WSL

[@josephwest7006]

The man is in pumping surf commentating all the time and connecting the casual fan to the sport we all love. Freaking legend and what a gnarley life. Thank you Strider for still helping the industry and making I feel more accessible! ❤

[@fishdogdamickey]

Strider's story HAS to be made into a movie. North Shore 2.0!

[@WjB_96792]

Fully!

[@christiannguyen6193]

[@Marksurfz]

Outstanding interview, Strider & Conner! Really one of the best interviews on surfing and what happened behind the scenes…I’ll buy the book!

I love Strider. He keeps the broadcasts loose and funny. Thanks for another good chat. I agree about the women's surfing. It has gone to another level the last few years.

[@indorider]

Totally cool interview. Who doesn't love some Strider!

[@batman50ish]

Wow, didn't know Strider's backstory. Like him even more now. The real deal...

[@louis.A.sardine]

Fantastic podcast! Thanks Conner, Strider, and the team!!

[@backcountrysurf7895]

Strider is the man. Never met him though I grew up surfing many same spots rnd same time. Known who he was since early 90s, but never knew majority of his path. Best po d so far. Thanks for both you guys time.

[@willmiddleton9199]

Holy shit what an amazing podcast ! I never knew Strider's story even though I am a really old (66) lifelong surfer.... Best thing WSL ever put out, bar none. Reminds me of The Surfer's Journal stories.... Bravo to Strider and Connor !

[@RealSurfStories]

Epic podcast! From our early small kid time days on the WSA to early 90's sessions all over Calif. through Quik times and up to present day he has always been exactly the same. As real as it gets and a true friend.

[@Dosibeau]

How on earth does this have only like 20k views. This is incredible. Awesome stuff!

[@Bolsa1971]

Hey WSL more back stories about the people that grew the industry, this was insanely good and so interesting!! Yeah Strider 🤙🏼

[@Christian-yh7bs]

Strider is the best… Love this dude.

[@Scoobysnaxmcgee]

I mean this coulda been 3 hours with a lotttt of knowledge and insight but instead we got “that’s crazy”. Someone needs to get this guy in a much longer conversation

[@mattboyd3599]

great job Connor and Strider.

[@bennyvision3451]

This is so sick! When I think of watching strider when I was younger I think of him in lost video on beach in Cabo. He’s a rad dude

[@Tony-b5f3m]

Beautiful interview!

[@scottfoster3548]

That is not Strider that is Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man WOW wonderful story. Yea now we really love Strider good job.

[@patricknoveski6409]

Hey Stider, Ah yes. We all find our path through surfing. Yours is very entertaining. All those stories become our lives. Good to hear yours. Yeew. P.j. Rincon Calif.

[@Logan_Patrick8]

Best interview I’ve ever seen… I wanna know more about this Marvin guy anyone know where I can see some pictures or something ?

[@jimmyconn7314]

Very good interview. Strikers history is very interesting. Love the slam on Danny kwok.he was in that elightist Newport crew,who thumbed their noses at us regular surfers.funny thing I never saw any of them in big surf in Hawaii in early 70s thru early eighties.only John van ornum who was a kind gentleman and great surfer in big stuff in hawaii.

[@davidetomsu]

Good stuff. Thanks. Bless

[@JamesBrown-hv1xu]

AWESOME THANK YOU 😎

[@JasonLinkinhoker]

Stride or die! Classic

[@diegomorell-perea7667]

Hmmm....they skipped over the Lost years, was looking forward to that chapter.

[@sethboviper]

Always wondered why he was employed, surfing media is so weird, but man he has lived a life

[@dantheredman]

Strider needs to write a book.

[@dantheredman]

wrote this too soon... he is writing a book :)

[@AlemasPizzaSurf]

where can i find the Photo of The SKARK that nearly killed Strider?

[@nickcarpenter3098]

Yeah wish they added it in

[@Samar2024surf]

I grew up with Peter mcgonagle and his brothers at Riviera in San Clemente, lived in Mexico long time near him...he and his brother Ian are THE gnarliest surfer humans anywhere. PS christian Fletcher n me own a perfect secret left reef now in Samar Philippines I remember when Strider stayed with him back in the day they were my neighbors lol

[@ericjorgensen8028]

I never really knew anything about Strider... Didn't really find him interesting before. That's all changed now. He has great tales to tell...and I'm only halfway through this!

[@damonfourie7985]

Lekker Strider!!

[@bunsolo]

Unreal

[@dgroves85]

More importantly how’s Connor’s boat project going? I worked as a tender on an urchin boat the Risa Lynn out of SB that was docked in a slip right across from Connor’s boat.

[@dwaynedecarter]

Conner did not contribute but Strider was a charmer as always

[@dgroves85]

Behind the scenes. The surf world isn’t all glitz and glamour.

[@WjB_96792]

@@dgroves85 back then, especially hawaii was the wild wild west! Hawaii was nuts!

[@festivaldork45]

Wow… that was a heavy story.

[@sidabbruzzi3239]

Seen it all with ya

[@MCmaster7102]

Why do you guys censor half of what Strider is trying to say? Makes it frustrating to watch personally when you blank out a lot of parts but you see his lips moving

[@sidabbruzzi3239]

Guys Waterbrother film Friday nite the 15th at COAST film fest Laguna

[@CC-ys8qq]

Surfing is great, unfortunately the obstacles such as the overcrowding, dangerous people with not much ability, wrong conditions, closeouts, shapeless waves make it an extremely frustrating sport. I hate having to compete with others for waves, getting japped by kooks who don't have a clue about rules or etiquette in the water. Where do you go to have a good time in the water? How do you get away from this and get to a more enjoyable place?

[@fishdogdamickey]

I feel your pain. It's all about mid week surfing!

[@CC-ys8qq]

@@fishdogdamickey Unfortunately not where I serve it doesn’t matter what day you serve. It used to be totally empty across the street from me now it’s known as a terrific spot and it sucks with closeouts and there’s 25 guys out fighting for a two wave set every so often and maybe ones makeable an hour it’s pretty messed up

[@dane.9230]

Strider this has so much spiritual context. Please find a Christian and ask them what you can expect in the future if you die without Jesus. Chops is baby’s play compared to H_ll. That encounter you had was nothing compared to being separated from God in a lake of fire surrounded by d_mons forever and ever. Ask Erin Brooks Dad. Lots of Christians on tour.
