CJ, I've seen your name around for decades in the professional long board arena and the surf mags and stuff, and then I watched a couple of pod casts on you, without ever having watched you surf, or not specifically where it was a focus on you, so that I knew it was you that I was watching. So I just finished watching one of these short movies on you, and now I'm half way through this one, awoke. But I was so excited to tell you before I went on any longer, that I had no idea you were so good. I wish I'd have payed more attention to your surfing decades ago, but we didn't have good cool short videos like these back then, and I was also caught up in dealing with taking care of my parents as they got older and eventually past away. Now I'm just catching up to things in the after math of that. But here you are. I'm a surfer shaper designer, born in early '57, and I've seen many generations of classic surfers come and go, but it is very interesting to watch you surf, with your soul surfer approach and off the cuff manuevers. And these movies nowadays are so cool with soulful photography and really neat music. It's a whole profession of its own, these short videos, with soul surfing and soul music. Thank you for all of this. And don't worry, I'm not gay, I just care about good boards, good surfing style, good music, and good women.
I watched this a while ago and liked it. But after spending two years trying to improve my longboarding technique on an 8’11 single fin hulled out Gato Surfar and made some progress. I know see this film in a new light. Revelatory. Truly beautiful longboard surfing. Iconic. What style man waaah fuck. I could watch this everyday and not get bored of it. Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Idk why everyone thinks watching people ride displacement hulls isn’t cool…that was epic

True style master. Great film CJ. Thanks for the motivation to get back on a longboard.
Wow. Beautiful surfing.
Saw CJ once at Loveland Pass in Colorado building a kicker. We were both probably in our twenties then. Always was a solid Braddah.
CJ先生、最高過ぎる！！最強のお手本です。
Man that's a clean lookin hull!
COOL VIDEO, COOL MUSIC, LAST SONG SHOULD BE A LONGBOARD CLASSIC.
