Can't get enough Occ?

For those goofy foots who miss real back hand surfing this is a must! It seems like most goofy foots today, surf good but are not raw and powerful. Nothing in the Occy mold at least! Everything is tight and technical. The Hobgoods are smooth and tight but lack a ferocious raw energy. Bobby Martinez again is technical and tight but lacks brute force! Where is the power goofy foot of this era? I haven't seen anyone really lay commitment onto a rail like Occ in years! The last person to hold up was Luke Egan! Watch and learn!
One of the greatest segments in surf film history! Occy in his prime soul searching through Europe. The Slaves are one the most under rated 80's band ever!  Long live the Occ!!!

Sundown Fantasy Surfer Group: Congrats to GMGsurfer for taking out the win!, Parko goes berzerko at the Quiksilver Pro!!!


Parko Scored a perfect 10 in his semi and then his final! His surfing was nothing short of inspiring and I would have to say he is going to be the pick for the title this year. His surfing all through the event was nothing short of awe inspiring! In his Round Four Heat, he came back with a sick pick in the dying seconds of the comp! He then did it again in his Semi against Mick Fanning! Parko showed true determination and will be the one to watch. The disappointment for everyone had to be Slater. I think everyone had him on their teams. His 5'4 looked pretty sick but seemed to hold him back slightly. The big surprise of the event was Adriano De Souza! The kid shouldn't be a surprise since last year's steady climb but his domination of Taj in Semi 2 was nothing short of brilliant. And how about Dane and Jordy! Both surfed insane early on but Jordy couldn't find a decent wave in his heat and Dane was ripped off! He caught the sickest barrel at the end of his heat against Taj but the judges way underscored it. Check out Stabmag.com for the full story on that. In the Final, it looked like Adriano just couldn't find the rhythm he needed and Parko just looked comfortable and relaxed. He got those back to back barrels that the announcers couldn't get enough of and kep showing them over and over in slow motion. For an event that started out slow, it finished with a bang.
On the Sundown Fantasy Surfer group side of things, it was GMGsurfer who took out the win with a team consisting of:
Kelly Slater
Mick Fanning
Damien Hobgood
Dean Morrison
David Weare
Julian Wilson
Jordy Smith
Dane Reynolds

Slater was everyone's pick and you can see most people's numbers are lower than they would have been had they gone with Parko. The rest of the top five on Sundown's Fantasy Surfer Group goes like:
2nd-ibisurf (So close! Only 2 points separated them)
3rd-Sundown (What can I say?)
4th- NYRippa (Last Years Overall champ and still a danger man)
5th- I don't have a name (couldn't think of a name but got it right with the teams)

So if GMGSurfer would please stand up and send your contact info in order to win your prize, to tyler@sundownski.com.
Bells is up next and we will have to wait and see if Slater will be motivated to attend. Parko loves Bells and should continue his form.
Thanks everyone and see you at the next event.
