If you chop your own wood, it’ll warm you twice
Prior to 2022 @holy.skip was all-in on becoming a pro surfer. He won the Cloud 9 QS in 2018, had a handful of sponsors, but was still was living pay check to pay check.
Then he started building fences and opening laundromats, betting on self-reliance to fund swell chases.
“I didn’t need to ask a sponsor, I didn’t need to rely on anyone for the first time ever. The whole name of the game for me became: Make money, buy plane tickets, go surf.”

You think you can beat a pro surfer? (This video put it into perspective) 😳🏄🏾♂️

This move gets lower scores than basic air 3s and straight airs even though it’s way fucking harder. Ask every pro surfer how many air 3s they have pulled with different variety of grabs. Then ask them how many rodeo flips they’ve pulled. I can guarantee the numbers won’t even be close. I would say that there’s probably a bunch that have never pulled one. That’s why I will keep doing them even if they don’t get the score. Stupid to change how you surf to please people who can’t do the move in the first place. Plus they are super fun to do.
Any pro surfer will tell you the better the waves, the longer it takes to sticker up your sled. As @jackrobinson72 says, “You gotta go slow to go fast!”
How many boards do you think Jack has stickered up in his lifetime?
When @hugobcn9 told his dad he wanted to be a pro surfer, his dad simply said, “yeah, ok.”

A pro surfer and snowboarder vs many gallons of rapidly moving water.
Flashback to last weekend in Berlin, when @lungislabb and @miles_falcon quickly cracked the code on the city’s standing wave.
“I’m not a pro surfer like a lot of the people who were there for that swell—just a regular joe.
But I managed to snag a few sick ones between the crowds. Everything was picture perfect.
It was my first time surfing Greenbush. It took me two days to get there from Bali as cheaply as possible jumping between flights, ferries, car rides, and canoes.
It was a tough call to make because the swells had been shifting around Indo this year, even though the Mentawai season had been firing. Still, I believed in and trusted Surfline’s forecast.”- @argentino_afv
Thank you for putting your faith in the forecast, Gabriel. We’re stoked you scored!
