Occy and Rob Machado - two goofyfoot, middle-age hair bears - sit down for the latest Occ-Cast. Erratic as ever, though always engaging, Occ asks Rob about his accidental rise to the top, the time he was put on trial by the Top 44, and his lack of an air game - amongst many other things.

Great Friday arvo procrastination fodder...

as much as i hated the movie 'the Drifter', i can't help but feel that Machado is a pretty cool cat. Definitely one of those surfers i never get tired of watching.

Also, for the same reasons, is why I love Japan too.

True. Yet, Drifter sessions, some of the best and most stylish surfing you will see.

I've surfed with Machado, he never smiled once, never talked to anyone out at the break, had a very aloof attitude. I don't know him at all, but I took away a poor view of his attitude. Decided to watch this podcast as I do like the way some of these top surfers respect Occy. Well, blow me down , I really liked the way Machado came across, honest and humble. May well have judged him too quickly.
Great interview.

I looking at youtube history, I realised this could be looked at as really offensive. But, I meant it as two guys who have so much in common. Which is apparent in the video, I hope I still qualify for the free board.
