Gary Brecka

Was there a time, I mean, during your championship career and like competing at that level, were there like waves during certain eras where there were like really great athletes and really great surfers?

And was there times when you felt like there wasn't a lot of competition?

Or did that entire time, did you feel like somebody was right on your heels?

Or did you even think about that?

Oh, okay.

For my audience, it's not familiar with how surfing is scored.

I'm not either.

All right, well, then we're screwed.

I mean, are you trying to perform on that wave?

Are you actually trying to do things on your board that are –

you know, different difficulty levels so that a judge sees you and goes, wow, he just got a full 360.

Right, right.

That's awesome.

I mean, so when you were pursuing this, um,

in this sport and these world championships, were you constantly moving around the world chasing the best waves?

Yeah, I've been a nomad for like 40 years.

Really?

Yeah.

Really?

And I noticed you've been very vocal about conservancy.
