Even when I didnt know whether Oscar was boy or a girl, I thought he was a really good surfer. He surfs better than you and me Rusty . I'm not sure who he is cloning , but jeez it will be interesting to see where he goes . Seems to be pretty sponnoed. Got the moves with style. I'll be watching. Yo.
goofyfootMonday, 14 Mar 2022 at 8:16pm
watched that on mute and fast forwarded the scenery shots and talking and I really enjoyed it!
He's a full blown ripper, and does it with style.
Didn't seem to be trying to be a mini Craig Ando in this edit as much as past ones.
freeride76Monday, 14 Mar 2022 at 8:25pm
I know I'm not the target demographic, but I actually really enjoyed that.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something just a little bit different about it which hooked me in.
clifTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 1:54am
Yeah same. There's a sense of humility which flows like a red thread through the interviews and the surfing. And some of the footage provides a sort intimacy to the whole thing, a little glimpse into his inner world of surfing. I know its an ad but its particularly well done.
blackersMonday, 14 Mar 2022 at 9:50pm
Yep, nice. Mixes up his craft, stylish but not overly contrived. Just needs a f'ing haircut and access to a razor. Good to hear Cat Power on a soundtrack too.
ryderTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 8:14am
You haven't made it until you've done a trip to outback SA... apparently!!!
indo-dreamingTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 9:43am
Im betting Adalita is talking about the late Tas blizzard (Seaweed Gorillas/Meanies) keen decent surfer she use to date.
tyzee63Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 10:57am
I'm not a fan, kid seems too focused on being hip and not sure why he rides high-performance boards with his style of surfing.
HiccupsTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 11:59am
You don't call that high performance surfing? Jeez. High standards.
tyzee63Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 5:03pm
no I don't, his repertoire is very standard, apart from barrel-riding, it could all be done on a twinny, and doing high-lines on a shortboard just looks silly.
garry-weedTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 11:04am
What a relief. Part Ando with a smidge of Occy.
tangoWednesday, 30 Mar 2022 at 10:18pm
The only Occy I'm seeing is the goofy-foot bit.....
PCS PeterPanTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 12:49pm
That backhand is so relaxed it belies how rad it really is . Over-vert and you hardly notice it . Comparisons will be made but I reckon Oscar rips .
He would be welcome on any of our surf trips .
burleighTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 1:07pm
Gotta be one of the better girl surfers in Aus right now.
PCS PeterPanTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 1:59pm
If he surfs worse than you , mabey put up some video of yourself burly and we can all
have a good look at your surfing prowess .
The bloke is only 18 , ffs .
Cut the young gen some slack .
burleighTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 2:17pm
Nah they surf way better than me, but so do lots of other girls at my local break.
HiccupsTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 2:36pm
Looks like he's already addressed gronks like you burleigh.
"I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been called a poof by some macho hero for having long hair or riding different shapes. But it’s those same people who have a couple of beers and get their dicks out and slap each other on the ass, which is pretty strange considering how anti-gay they are” laughs Oscar. “I’ll take being called a ‘poofta’ as a compliment. It takes way more bravery to be a gay person than having to prove your masculinity all the time”.
CraigTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 2:53pm
Ouch! Good on Oscar.
Yeah fark Burleigh, it's 2022 mate!
t-diddyTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 9:47pm
second that....Burleigh is clearly a knobby point
stephen.allenTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 2:02pm
Tip for the cameraperson: keep the camera still.
Tip for the surfer: learn to speak English, learn to string a few sentences together.
Otherwise, not a bad short film.
jasper99Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 2:48pm
So nice to watch someone his age concentrate on style and flow and from memory not an air reverse in sight.....
Great music taste also.....
Rabbits68Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 3:19pm
Beautiful waves, absolutely stunning scenery and some great surfing. Good luck to him.
Island BayTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 6:31pm
Was not expecting to like it, but I did. He can surf!
BalberoTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 7:31pm
Clean lines, great rhythm, and know this kid just LOVES ridding waves. Fuck he even is into the same style of music that most of us grew up with. Refreshing. Enjoyable watch. Cheers swellnet.
PS You can see the drag clearly with the drawn out dove tail on his twinny.
t-diddyTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 8:27pm
Ando's love child?! There's a 50yo trapped in that kid
zenagainTuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 10:20pm
Saved it for the big screen. A really enjoyable watch and Oscar sounds like a likeable chap.
One exception, anyone who laughs when a cat dies has no soul.
Cats are cool.
simbaWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 5:41am
Long haired git........well thats what the old pricks used to call me back in the day when i was his age ..........good on ya Oscar.
wpoolWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 11:47am
Radical and smooth at the same time ...such a great flowing style - he actually surfs what the wave offers up to him which is a pleasure to watch.
Much better than slap, slap, race , race over good sections .. air on closeout
memlasurfWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 5:59pm
Yeah far better than that semi in portugal. Schoka. Too much oversurfing of the wave I wish WSL would watch this.
iamlegendWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 5:12pm
Thought I was watching Steph Gilmore there for a second...and thats a compliment.
ElliedogWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 6:31pm
The bloke is only 18 , ffs .
Cut the young gen some slack .
Good call. I watched this and knew right away the fella was gunna cop some shit. But just like the man said above.... his 18... i reckon if he keeps his head on he'll be a wise young/old man regardless of how he surfs which wont be that important anyway. good onya mateeeee!!! just enjoy...and.....he gets to have coffee with Adalita!!!!.. .
bbbirdWednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 8:26pm
Loved the relaxed style & commitment into a full turn.
Great motivation to keep stretching & surfin old school.....when Tom Curren was king
julesblackSaturday, 19 Mar 2022 at 1:13pm
beautiful surfing, i love the backhand layback take offs.And keeping great company with our Top Cat.
Johan WohllebenSaturday, 19 Mar 2022 at 11:38pm
Nice vid. The kid rips and has a great style-it’s obviously his own adaptation of surfing he enjoys seeing. Also love the chilled demeanour with the underlying don’t give a fuck what other people think juxtaposition.
NDCFriday, 25 Mar 2022 at 8:04pm
That was great - thanks Oscar n team

good choice and taste in music mate - Adalita envy too - keep surfing while you can - fuck the negators
tangoWednesday, 30 Mar 2022 at 10:26pm
I was interested that he didn't have much footage of A-grade waves in there. In the main, they were the sort of waves we can all relate to, and he still tore the bag out of it while looking like he was hardly breaking a sweat. I'd like to see how he goes in some serious, flawless, overhead stuff. I see he was just over in Kandui.......mmmmmm. Matter of fact, I'd love to surf some serious, flawless, overhead stuff myself...

Definitely a clone.....
