This was a great interview, C.F is a legend. I witnessed his surfing at desert point in 2007. He was wearing a cap at the peak and paddled into a beast, after his bottom turn he flipped his cap backwards and proceeded to pull into a long macking pit. I'd never seen so much style with zero fucks given. I bumped into him later that week at "Twice Bar" in Kuta, The guy is so down to earth, he's living in the right frequency. cheers Occ.

What a fkn legendary interview I just witnessed. My two favourite surfers in the world. Two of the most original genuine authentic fkn legends that have been in this industry since groms and never ever sold their sources, their souls, their opinions. Two fathers and teachers for us, the new generation. Thank you so much! Peace.

Skateboarding gave me strength, power and self-confidence for my entire life. snowboarding gave me joy and haven on a board. and surfing finally open my eyes for the wonder of life and healed me from everything what burdens me, on my way to what i am, a happy hard struggling and kind of wise person, who loves life in every second (peace)... Of course there is music, love and other things in the world....but, i dunno, boards are kind of magic and fuckin awesome. What has it to do with this interview? ... I saw him just a few days ago at un's, kuta, and he let me think. Hes a rebel like me, and he gives me just a good feeling that im following still the right way. Im born far away from every skatepark, ocean or mountain...i traveled a lot, im 43. 30 years of skate snow and surf! Live to the max! Love your dream!

We both went to San Clemente High.. and graduated in 1968, "The Summer of Love" (Yes, that's one of my old pictures..). She hung out with us__our tight little group at Doheny all summer, we would smoke weed, drop acid and surf (pre-harbor).

Hit the nail on the head with that "Surfers are all jocks now". Not only is there no personality in surfing there is very little difference in style or performance. Nobody on the tour is really breaking new ground. The microscopic equipment adjustments and homogenous approach make it like watching a glacier move. Back when you had guys riding Twins and Singles and Thrusters everyone was on a different arc it made the whole thing much more interesting IMHO.
