He makes such a good point. I've never surfed in an environment where people were welcoming and cool. It's really bizarre now I think about it.

The worst part of surfing is other surfers.

Steve-o I've watched all your youtube videos, and I've always been a fan since the 90s. I love watching these "underground" exclusive interviews, please keep them coming

My wife just walked in while Steve o was talking, but she could not see the screen. She asked if I was listening to Whoopi Goldberg. Steve O, your voice has evolved into Whoopi status.

Neistat makes a really good point about the 0-1, or what I call the frustration to pleasure scale. I've been surfing for over 50 years, and grew up surfing a very local private spot, so the fact that I lived there I didn't get harassed (or my dad would've beaten some ass), but lately have had two hip replacements and now having to get those muscles back in order, is like beginning again, and it sucks. Just for the record, I rip for 60.

protip: when getting into a wetsuit, first place a plastic grocery bag over your feet and hands, then get into your suit. Your limbs literally slip through the whole wetsuit minimizing the stretching of the suit itself.

"I hate this, I hate this... I am a God" Dude I feel the same way. To swim against the waves is torture.

Golf on the first tee is the same way. Guys can be brutal when you're trying to tee off. It's extremely intimidating and the guys are ruthless,, if you're not experienced.

Wild, skaters are actually pretty supportive thought surfers would be too

Is Steve-O trying to break the world record for holding the longest bong hit? It's been like 15 years already!

I snowboard and he is spot on I was going down blue hills 6 hours into it.

Surfing sounds a lot like golf. God I fucking hate golf, yet that one good shot a round keeps bringing me back!

I can get BMXers or mountain bikers who build their own jumps but it's not like these people are making the waves I'll never understand surfers who attack people for "surfing their territory"

I’ve been in some hostile waters before, and doheny beach in OC is actually a really friendly beach. Everyone’s on soft tops and lots of party waves with no agro!

Casey brings his phone surfing.

Chillin in the parking lot at el Porto

My power went out right before this vid started. Hour later the intro goes off loud af and I think there's a wreck in my garage...

You guys need to go kiteboarding it’s like surfing but for 3hours strate

In the late 80’s I skated for a shop and was a snowboard instructor for years. I moved to San Diego in my late 20’s for three years and surfing was hard but I caught waves in the first week and straight rode. But surfing every day at 7/7 within a few months I was turning and catching point breaks and able to turn off the knuckle. It comes down to foot coordination and understanding a rail. And a good board helps. I still have my al Merrick black beauty. But live in Massachusetts now and haven’t surfed in almost 10 years. It’s just to aggressively shark infested and lousy storm tossed beach breaks. Even Rhodesia island point Judith is good but wicked rocky so not being on your game ends in injury or broken boards.

Is Steve-O not talking about a dry suit?

More surfers need to be like Chicken Joe from Surfs Up.

Sounds like fly fishing.

He’s right wetsuit tech is amazing now. I’ll be out in 40 degree water. And if the sun is out, I almost feel hot in my chest. It’s sick

So much for surfing being zen lmfao.

The ocean is awesome.

Good thing I’m in a landlocked state. A skateboard on water??? Blasphemous

Try rocking up like a Mook & surfing in someone’s spot in Hawaii 🙁

So Damn true!!

Steve-o come to tofino huge waves to surf

i build millatary prototypes .where can i hide?

i freakin hate when they place an ultimatum

I wanna know about the hair transplant

Been there done that

Solid color glasses Casey. WTH!!!

Surfing never did it for me. Now get me on my dirt bike and I'll be riding all day long.

Central coast is the only place in California that isn’t unfriendly for surfing

Facts

Hulk Hogan gone hipster

Casey really looks like the weasel creature from The Suicide Squad

Damn I'm so lucky... I learned to surf in Hilo Hawaii in the 80s with a bunch of friends who owned the break we were at ... I watched for an hour... Paddled out... Got up... And surfed ... It seemed so natural for me, my body just had the preprogramming to let it happen.... I got a TON of razzing all day from people who would NOT believe it was my first time 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Surfing and mountain biking are the toughest sports I've ever done.

Surfing is sport you must grow up doing to be any good at

The little fella is an embarrassment! Sunny would have killed this poser!

Cassie is 1 cool dude.

Never mistake wealth for success.

Surfing blows , take up kite boarding.

Hahaaaaa

Who is the guy in the front of the van trying to be Dax?

what hustle.?i am not a man..i am hyde.

I know! I find this quite strange. This also happened to me once when I was visiting NYC and, while socializing at a few bars frequented by locals, told quite a few people I was excited to move there. And instead of the open-armed welcoming and the offers to help me move in that I expected, the only thing I got was strange looks with, "Why?!" or "You REALLY shouldn't". I guess surfers will welcome newbs the days that real New Yorkers will welcome transplants.

Waves are a limited resource, so that creates some tension. But surfing makes you feel like a child again, and the better you get at it the more like an unchecked 7 year old do you act. Until you are good enough that there are cameras on you with every turn, do most surfers abandon localism-but they always benefit regardless. Not true for all surfers, Carissa just showed us this at the Olympics and you have a few that are true ambassadors of the sport like John John and his family. Slater is most likely one also, but even he gets colored as playing mind games against the other surfers-just because he is so nice (Machado Slater high five is a great example of this). $@($ em, surf anyway. When you get it, there are few things that make you feel best about yourself. Wether it makes you smile endlessly like a child or a big day when it tests you against mother nature and God. Surf anyway, its good for your soul. And consider taking jiu jitsu-just in case, helps your surfing anyway.

6 months? I was standing and riding waves on day one. What is this guy talking about?

What's most sad about that is surfers used to be hippies. Now they seem unfriendly. Backwards ass world.

Go to nazare

There’s a ton of comments about how hostile locals can be. But it’s about safety. Surfing is inherently dangerous. And that danger is magnified when you add a beginner surfer into the mix.

SURFED SINCE I WAS 14 YRS OLD BRO! ITS A BREEZE EASY! LIKE RIDING A BIKE. LOL

Nothing worse than the locals only vide in surfing.

Is this ben askren's cousin?

i ride horses. i rode wild.i love all that pain.

Casey starts to talk about the flaws of surfing culture and you stopped him to make a joke about wetsuits?! Ha

last vid I can watch brotha.. I just don’t like hearing you say butt hole.

I say gaining respect in the Ocean by good local surfers, is like going to any local MMA/Boxing gym and gaining respect. You gotta fight to earn the local fighters trust and respect. Surfers respect other surfers who surf good, who understand the locals code and respect safe etiquette of the Ocean. But mostly comes down to your abilities. Kelly, JOB or Medina can get respect at any beach. I can get respect anywhere too, because I'm a ex-champion surfer. There's a lot to know and learn, and it may take years, you can't just rock up at a beach as a beginner and demand respect. You gotta earn that respect. That's the way surfing culture works. Nobody likes kooks who dont know what they're doing either. You earn respect by your efforts.

Surfing sucks. Don’t do it.

Guy looks like his wearing fake nose 👃 with glasses 🤓😂

Nahhh surfing isn't that hard 😂 Stand up day 1 in Santa Cruz 🤙

"putting on a wetsuit is really hard" - what a kook

4:33 um..... I ski for a living and stood up on whitewash on my first day dude
