Ozzie Wright

[Carpark King]

Just throwing it out there but F#*k this guy can surf.

Such a good change seeing ozzie surf rather than your standard pro.. it actually gets me pumped to go surfing in average surf.

Im frothing to get on my fish in onshore mush hahah

PS I reckon his turns are pretty siiiick to watch aswell


ok ill stop wanking on now

[g_u_m_b_y]

how slop was it today?
i still had a ball, i did the most critical turn i was sooo stoked.
carve in the pocket.

i also just found a rly funny backhand floaer shot of me.
looks like im dancing haha

[Carpark King]

yeh was so slop today. I was on my 5"8 fish yesterday and managed to get a couple of fun ones..

What were you surfing on and where were ya surfing?

[spotty]

I think Ozzie surfs like a complete kook...he has the ugliest style around...his music and art are crap also.

My fave section in a vid from the last coupla years;

Got no style, but geez he gets shit done. Check the height in the frontside air 'bout halfway through. Doesn't land it but he comes down with icicles.

Pretty funny and great music to boot....

[The Oracle]

His art doesn't really appeal to me, I can take or leave his music, but geez I love watching him surf. No fear at all and no limits to his imagination - go Ozzie. Seems a good bloke too from the few interviews I've seen.

spotty/smn i reckon you're idiots.

the guy rips.

[Jamoe]

we were talking about this the other day Cp King, ozzie is just great to watch because in a lot of videos he is ripping in messy slop and surf that we surf the majority of the time. sure its great to watch people ripping in perfect surf, but its even better to see them ripping in the slop we surf and learn and imitate from that

[Sausage]

He tears the bag, unorthodox style, big punts and his tube riding skills are elite. He was never going to be a contest surfer so he made a niche for himself, pretty smart.

The Goons are good fun and his art is out there but you have to take you hat off to the guy, he is original.

I agree with 2nd reef that front side grab is monstrous, I think its off rocks at nth av.

[kreepykrawly]

There's this idiot that surfs South Narra that thinks his Ozzie . Beat up trans am van, writing on board and a loud mouthed f-ck face. I kinda had a run in with him and his inbred mates.

The real Ozzie is a top bloke and great surfer. Total individual that just does his own thing. Remember seeing him and Steve Clements surfing Stuart street one 6 foot day and just shredding it apart. It made me sick.
Dont confuse the sometimes wide stance for kookiness..all he doing is making sure that when he boosts..he lands.If he was based in California he would be a multi millionaire by now.
Im going for a surf at South Whaley now to stave off the fatness.

[wanto]

salty, the guy can hack the shit out of a wave, and is an incredible tube rider.

some of you should learn not to knock what you can't do.

[Clif]

don't you mean "MUNKY"

[Carpark King]

I think Ozzie surfs like a complete kook...he has the ugliest style around...his music and art are crap also.

How do you define style? He has a mad punk style and he fits so much on a wave. I love his style. Fast, smashes everything and utilises every part of the wave, if its a good air section he does an air, if its a long wall he will do some good hacks.

And i reckon he does some sick cutbacks...

[maxi]

And those aerials are shit - if ya can't land em, don't do em

He can land them .... not many can / do .....

[wanto]

maxi, how about a sequence of a gouge so people can pick apart is 'bad' style

[oldman]

Man it's crowded out there, and all those guys wearing the same gear dropping in on each other and doing airs right next to each other.

I knew the crowds were bad but this is just ridiculous! :?

[scroopulis]

IMO anyone who can make a buck out of doing something they absolutely love have got it nailed.
Ozzie is a top bloke but often has a bad moustache.
