Shooting content in West Aus would have been a non-negotiable for Billabong when the CT boys were in town for the Margaret River Pro. Content here was never going to fail; fly all the blokes on the roster in. You’re going to find empty and pumping waves somewhere along the vast coast of WA to compliment the team’s shredding ability.
As someone who’s never been to WA before, director Dylan Roberts sure did an excellent job for Tourism Western Australia. This edit has got me frothing on a surf trip to the West Side; so many fun-looking waves.
It was great to see Occy showing the groms that he can still do lofty punts. The 56-year-old looks fit and stoked to be surfing with the younger crew. I would love to be a fly on the wall listening to Griffin & Occy having a silly conversation.
The current Billabong roster is quite impressive; you got Occy and Parko leading the pack. Includes some of the best CT surfers in the world, Ethan Ewing, Italo Ferreira and Griffin Colapinto, plus free-surfers such as Creed McTaggart.
I think it’s fair to say that Billabong has the best talent out of any men’s surf roster atm, by a long shot. Elite-level surfing throughout the whole 15 minutes of this clip.
Enjoy!
