Occy’s interview series is one of the best things happening in surfing right now. Because he’s Occy, he’s able to wrangle the most interesting and timely interviews. And because he’s Occy, he’s got that certain something that only he has–that sort of bumbling, likable honesty that makes the viewer feel as though we’re just listening in on a totally unscripted conversation–which we are.
The sixth Occ-Cast features world champion and all-around legend Rabbit Bartholomew, 1978 world champion and ex-president of the Association of Surfing Professionals. Rabbit was one of the driving forces who made pro surfing what it is today. “To actually make a living from what we were doing,” said Shaun Tomson on Encylopedia of Surfing, “I didn’t think it was possible. Rabbit did. And a lot of us were carried along by his momentum.”
