The Inertia

Clay Marzo is one of the best surfers in the world. He had early competitive success. He turned the surfing world on its head with a few of the craziest video clips anyone had ever seen. He kept up with the big guns of progressive surfing on trips, eventually surpassing them and coming into a realm that was pretty much his own. Then he went the free surfing route, due in part to his difficulties with social situations. But then he disappeared, at least a little bit.

Clay messed up both knees, gained a ton of weight, and didn’t surf for months during his rehab. The bottom fell out of Quik’s (his main sponsor) market, and Marzo suddenly found himself without a job. Here’s where he’s at in life now in What Happened to Clay Marzo, Ep. 3
