Watch: The Occ-Cast with Christian Fletcher
Occ sits down in Christian Fletcher's junk yard/front yard to talk history, old grudges, and way too many things to list here although smoking weed makes a few mentions. And at the end Occ hops a ride on Fletcher's hog which is only slightly less fruity than rollerskating with Curren.

I would have liked to hear what he had to say about Shaun Thompson. I think that's who he referred to in the people you idealize who turn out to be your worst enemy. I remember reading an interview with him about 20 years ago in an English mag (he had just been sponsored by Gul Wetsuits), about how Thompson used to burn him at Pipe while he thought they were still friendly and complain to the media about how he was getting too much exposure.
it must be hard for some 'stars' to shake off their competitive cloaks and share the waves with common plebs.....I remember Shaun Thompson out at the Spot 30 years ago,,seemed like an every wave Dave Dick. I surfed Bingin with Christian when he was about 16,no Tatts long blond hair and surfed with sunnies, he ripped, as did his bro who was a midget at the time, their old man came across as a prick.
Soooo true that all the pro surfers these days are a bunch of straight jocks.
Hooray he likes Donald Trump, so do i, is everyone else blind to all the other corrupt ex presidents ect. Obama is a gay muslim extremist, Michele Obama is a tranny called Micheal
(or big mike) because he has a huge cock, the kids are someone elses, the Clintons were the biggest cocaine importers back in the day and so much more, the truth will come out soon !
Unique character, I've always been in the mindset in that i kind of like him for being unique, but then also can't help thinking he is a bit of a wanker too..after watching the interview i still feel the same way.
You're kidding me! So this is the guy I saw paddling out at Snapper in the dark on his lonesome a few months ago. Thought I was tripping, "this is not real, this guy's gonna get eaten by a shark..". If you're reading, Christian, thank you man, your vibe knocked me out of a bad mind-frame. Keep shredding!
That could have been Mick the sander; same hair cut, but could have been wearing heaps of zinc as well!!:)
Micks the best > loves a midnight surf!
Finally an Occ cast worth watching and Occy didn't butt in too much.......love the down to earth honesty from both of them and it was entertaining..well done.
Yeah that was a priceless interview. Regards the butt ins though.. it would have been nice to hear Christian's thoughts on Nathan's wave since he was asked the question.
So funny that he was shunned for doing airs in and out of comps and now everyone is falling over themselves to do them. Shows how mainstream surf culture consumers are just cloned sheep
Totally agree with @Indodreaming.
CF was my hero growing up(plastered all over my wall) but think in reality a week boat trip will be intense with the dude. Still the only time I ever felt star struck was when I saw him at the Quicky pro... Totally agree that showing personalities on tour can revive the show.
revive? maybe the corpse is cold....
totally agree with the 'jocks' comment but lost me with the Trump, sorry, that guy is the anti-christ...and the poor people comment...how much work has this guy done; nope surfing and getting wasted isn't work dickhead
That was enjoyable.
Occy’s first tamale....should have gone with the chicken..
Southern California/Orange County is so ugly. The very words ‘san capistrano’ invoke such beauty. The reality leaves one cursing humanity.
Hes tweaked so much that occy seems normal !
Wow a real person. No fakery or BS. Thanks Occ.
Riding pillion with a cunt sticker on your helmet ,classic stuff> Only in America
Wow, what a crack head!
That was one of the best Occ-Casts.
Occ is a terrible interviewer. Sure this was one of his better efforts but still pretty bad. At least he didn't mention J a hundred times.
As for CF - seems like wanker.
certainly live
bit sad really
surrounded by the jocks who say all the right things,Occy picked off a scab of an interview and finds CF sitting in an industrial site devoid of vegetation...Sadness there and a refreshing honesty, slurred speech and ugly Tatts aside, a good interview , IMHO
occy looks stoned az, funny shit
He is the classic seppo wanker but he does it sooo well I appreciate it. I reckon you could call him one and he would agree and laugh. I missed that gen so don’t know a lot about him however the guy can surf.
You can feel the awkwardness of Occ when CF is too honest about his illicit use as one thinks Occ has something to suppress in that regard to honour lifetime sponsorship
....edgy indeed
Yeah, Occy mentions "sobriety" at least twice and I love how CF says, "I take whatever I want whenever I want, I just choose not to do it too often", cool. First interview I watched start to finish because this guy was so left field and jaded and honest, like a character in a Jack Kerouac novel.
Yeah Midwest thats it Fletcher is straight up uncensored
