Definitely a clone.....

dean maddison Monday, 14 Mar 2022 at 07:51 pm new

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You haven't made it until you've done a trip to outback SA... apparently!!!

indo-dreaming Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 09:43 am new

Im betting Adalita is talking about the late Tas blizzard (Seaweed Gorillas/Meanies) keen decent surfer she use to date.

tyzee63 Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 10:57 am new

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.

Hiccups Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 11:59 am new

You don't call that high performance surfing? Jeez. High standards.

tyzee63 Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 05:03 pm new

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.

What a relief. Part Ando with a smidge of Occy.

tango Wednesday, 30 Mar 2022 at 10:18 pm new

The only Occy I'm seeing is the goofy-foot bit.....

PCS PeterPan Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 12:49 pm new

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 .

burleigh Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 01:07 pm new

Gotta be one of the better girl surfers in Aus right now.

PCS PeterPan Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 01:59 pm new

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 .

burleigh Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 02:17 pm new

Nah they surf way better than me, but so do lots of other girls at my local break.

Hiccups Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 02:36 pm new

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”.

Craig Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 02:53 pm new

Ouch! Good on Oscar.

Yeah fark Burleigh, it's 2022 mate!

t-diddy Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 09:47 pm new

second that....Burleigh is clearly a knobby point

stephen.allen Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 02:02 pm new

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.

jasper99 Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 02:48 pm new

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.....

Rabbits68 Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 03:19 pm new

Beautiful waves, absolutely stunning scenery and some great surfing. Good luck to him.

Island Bay Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 06:31 pm new

Was not expecting to like it, but I did. He can surf!

Balbero Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 07:31 pm new

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-diddy Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 08:27 pm new

Ando's love child?! There's a 50yo trapped in that kid

zenagain Tuesday, 15 Mar 2022 at 10:20 pm new

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.

simba Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 05:41 am new

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.

wpool Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 11:47 am new

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

memlasurf Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 05:59 pm new

Yeah far better than that semi in portugal. Schoka. Too much oversurfing of the wave I wish WSL would watch this.

iamlegend Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 05:12 pm new

Thought I was watching Steph Gilmore there for a second...and thats a compliment.

Elliedog Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 06:31 pm new

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!!!!.. .

bbbird Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022 at 08:26 pm new

Loved the relaxed style & commitment into a full turn.
Great motivation to keep stretching & surfin old school.....when Tom Curren was king

julesblack Saturday, 19 Mar 2022 at 01:13 pm new

beautiful surfing, i love the backhand layback take offs.And keeping great company with our Top Cat.

Johan Wohlleben Saturday, 19 Mar 2022 at 11:38 pm new

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.

That was great - thanks Oscar n team

roondog Saturday, 26 Mar 2022 at 06:08 pm new

good choice and taste in music mate - Adalita envy too - keep surfing while you can - fuck the negators

tango Wednesday, 30 Mar 2022 at 10:26 pm new

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...
