Occy Style Eras

As his unique approach to riding a wave has arguably inspired more "cover bands" than any other surfer in modern times, Occy claims he's always evolving. "The best style to me," he says, "is no style at all."

Mark Occhilupo's influence on surfing - especially for the legions of goofyfoots who came after him - is immeasurable.

That said, he remains on his own personal style journey, from brash young upstart in the early '80s to the surf-as-you-feel flow-master he is today.
