"WHAT'S YOUR SURF ICK!?" Pro Surfers Tell All

We're down here at Jeffreys Bay for the Jay Bay Classic. We're going to get amongst the people on the beach and ask the best surfers in the world some random questions. Get the best barrel of your life and no one sees it, or just a really good one but all your friends are in the channel. Did you pee in your wetsuit? Isn't that a rite of passage? A hundred percent. Who was your least favourite surfer on tour? Kelly Slater? Do you think Kelly Slater is a reptilian? A hundred percent. Who's Jeffrey? Who is Jeffrey? I don't even know who Jeffrey is. Get the best barrel of your life and no one sees it, or get a really good one but all your friends are in the channel. All my friends are in the channel. I'm such a people person that I would just be like so stoked to share it with everyone. A second best barrel with friends for sure. I mean it doesn't have to be on video but as long as your friends saw it that's pretty good. A really good one. All my friends are in the channel. For sure. For the glory. Absolutely. It doesn't mean anything if no one sees it. Then no one believes you anyway. That's what I say. We're sneaking into the Red Bull Athlete Zone. Oh the pros are getting ready. You already know what it is. Who was the last person to score a perfect 20 at J Bay? I think it was Jordi. Was it? I don't know. I think so. Yeah. I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. Ummm. Ohhhhh. Maybe Parker? Parker. Jordi Smith? Oh. You're too good mate. Jordi. Has anyone scored a perfect 20? It's Jordi bro. Oh. Yassir. Didn't see Flo today. I do remember now. What do you mean generally? Shark. Really? Who am I? I'm one of those seals that get tormented by the killer whales. Some African deadly lion or something. Nah. Goose. Bulldog? Yeah. Ugly. Ugly but everyone likes. Izzy, have you recognised when you ask a South African when something's going to happen, you just don't know when it's going to happen? I haven't really noticed that actually. Watch this. Tell me. When's the next heat starting? I think it's starting just now? Yeah bro, it's like now now. I'm going to ask you an off the cuff question. What's the difference between now, now now and just now? They're pretty much all the same. Now means now. Now now means like 20 minutes time. Half an hour to an hour. Maybe 15 minutes max. Maybe two days or so. Three days. I feel like now now may not happen. Ever. What do you think of now now? Are you here now or just now? Marky. Oh, he's such a silky cat, eh? Come and squirt daddy. I'd sell my first born child to surf like that. Yeah, yeah, I'd steal it from you too. If you were to steal a move off any surfer really, what would it be and who would it be? Yeah, I'd probably steal Steph's style on his birthday. Oh, I'd love to grab some of like Iago Dora's tricks. It's got to be Aki's bottom turn. What do you reckon Kelly Sater really means when he says he's going to retire? Yeah, nah, I think he's just going back to the junior series and I definitely don't believe him. Yeah, I think he just says it for fun sometimes. I feel like Kelly tells us he's retiring like just to mess with us. Wax pattern. Do you go up and down, circles or just kind of random? Circles. Criss-cross. For a fresh wax job, definitely the criss-cross and then the side of the wax. When the waves are big, I like to do this so I can hold on to my board. Fair enough. The key for me is really cold temperatures. You get the best bumps if the wax is cold and the board's cold. Who has the most wins at J-Bay between Kelly and Andy? I'm pretty sure Kelly does. Andy. Between Kelly and Andy? Yeah. I would have said Mick. I think Kelly. Let's go Kelly. How many goofy footers have won J-Bay? Not many. Maybe four? Three? Do you want to say two or three? Breakfast of champions. Biltong and bull. I'm so hungover. I'm coming to join you boys out there. I'm going to come and show you how it's not done. What's your surf ick? When there's really pumping waves but it's extremely hard to get out of there and get back in. Holding the board with the fins sewing out, that's... That's an ick? That's ****. Don't be a fake nice person. Yeah, exactly. Don't be a ****. Invest in being a ****. Oh, just be a grumpy old ****. The waves are pumping for the little kids and you're an angry old man. Just don't. I want to follow you around the lineups. Oh, when people follow you around the lineups. I was going to say follow you around like I am right now. What is J-Bay short for? Uncle Jeffrey. Jeffy's bear. Jeffy's bee. Jeffy's spy. Who is Jeffery? I have no clue. Apparently some sort of rogue sailor that came in. I've also heard that story too. The town is named after Captain Jeffery's. He sailed his cargo ship in the east coast of South Africa. Trading expeditions in the 1840s. It was during one of his trips that yada yada yada. That wasn't that long ago, hey? A couple of humans ago. This is the zen den, huh? Basically this is the place I stay more than my house. Do you want to see what my routine is? Yes. Are you sure? Sure. Normally I just start with one big inhale. And then it's just. Wow. You're pro surfing? I'm trying it. Yeah, apparently. Now dancing? Now. Adriano's slashing. Bro, coming around with that big bottom turn. Straight to the lip right there. Sweeping around. Oh, Adriano, give it to me. Ah, tudo bem. Muito bom. Tamo junto, meu amigo. Vamos. What did you think of that last set? It was pretty hectic. Hectic. It was pretty hectic over here. We need to f***ing get less hectic. Some say I have a way with my hands. Good hands keep you loose. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Just shoulder kisses for the boys. You say sorry to that wave after you blew the absolute back end out of it? Yeah. No, it was crazy. Yeah, just to do it at home with, like, everyone here. And all the goofy footers as well, I guess. Yeah, the goofs. And, yeah, the girls. Up the goofs and up the girls. Thanks. Muito obrigado. It was the side ends or the pastels and artists that got you through that one. What was your massage yesterday? Oh, it got me so relaxed. That's what it was. It got me going. The smooth rigs. I touch them a little bit too often because he's built like a freaking Greek god. Yeah, I think the police are definitely waiting for you, mate, because it's illegal to drop hammers like that. Yeah, it was fun. Kind of slow for the final. I thought we were going to have heaps of waves, heaps of sets. Yeah, true. But, yeah, we got a couple. It was fun. When they come, they're just so reapable. What?
