Pasaia, this port was one of
the main gates to the new world

in the 16th century.

From this place, most of
the whaling expedition
went to the new world.

Basque whaling in Canada
is considered to be

the oldest industrial activity
in North America.

But you see, it's not part of
the official maritime history

because it's a maritime history
about fisherman.

So they used to keep secretly.

So the Basque were the only
ones hunting whales for
many, many centuries.

Until the beginning
of the 17th century,

which many other nations
started to hunt whales as well.

But always hiring Basque
harpooneers and sailors.

This is one of the most
important activities

that Basque fishermen
have for many centuries.

When I was much younger,
I wanted to become
a boatbuilder.

I wanted to build wooden boats.

I was thinking about going
to the United States,

to Maine, to the Maine
Maritime museum,

to the apprentice shop,
to build boats.

But, well, I wasn't
quite sure yet.

But then I was surfing
in Australia, in Manly,

and somebody I met

knowing that I was Basque,

came to me with this
National Geographic issue

about 16th century Basque
whaling in America.

And it is an issue about
the San Juan world ship.

So, it is the first time
I heard about the San Juan,

it's while I was surfing
in Australia.

I decided to focus on learning
how to build wooden boats,

and, well, I decided to build
the San Juan one day.

And many, many years
after that, here we are.

I'm building not by myself
but with

a bunch of people.

One of the...

success of Basque's
ship building,

is the fact that the main
materials to build ships,

the iron mines,
also the forest,

were located very close
to the shipyards.

So that made transportation
very affordable.

They use to manage the forest

to provide the right
shapes they needed,

like, you know, they used
to guide the branches.

[drilling]

[hammer noises]

[drilling continues]

Let me show you.

These are Oliden made oars.

They were the last wooden oar
makers in the Basque country.

They don't make them anymore.

But, we still use them,
and they're very, very, nice.

[Kepa] Well, this is where
everything started.

They built this skatepark
here in the town and it was
full of people skating and...

I was seven years old
and we found the...

the surfing first.

Some guys lent us
a surf board and

my brothers and me,
we started surfing.

I remember we could skate
here and already read
these lines as a surfer.

Coming from here, and...

I could still leap already.

Oh!

Phew!

And then...

good barrel.

And there was a friend
out here doing like this.

And it's amazing how
the skaters style
they have here,

it's a little bit like
surfing, you know.

Because of the lines and
the influence of the sea too.

So everybody in the village
was coming here,

and everybody was skating.

There was very,
very few boards.

I remember we found
one board in the trash.

It was completely destroyed.

And we fixed it with tape,
you know.

[Kepa]
The first wetsuit we bought,

we went to Biarritz 'cause

there was
the surf culture there.

There was no wetsuits
here, so...

My dad and mum got some
money and we drive all
the way to the Haritz.

Back then it was an adventure
to go to the Haritz.

And then we bought these
first wetsuits,

and when they were broken,
we had to fix it,

and there was no material here.

The main industry in
Bilbao was building ships.

And there was iron
in the mountains.

So they took the iron
from the mountains straight,

And build the ships for Europe.

All around the world.

And iron for--

I think like 100 years there
were a lot of people
coming from everywhere.

There was a lot of hope here,
but then the iron was finished.

So that was a local crisis.

It was like a big movement.

Like, a big revolution.

It was hard times,
but also there was a time
for a lot of music.

But, not as a government,

but more as
street activists, you know.

[singing in Basque]

[Kepa] Yeah, it's, phew...

it's a big change so...

If you see footage from Bilbao
from the early eighties,

you would see that it was
a black hole with pollution

and it was a working place,
a hard working place.

There was a lot
of industry, and...

Now it's, you know, Bilbao's
like a... Looks like New York.
[laughs]

Yeah, they made a project
to change the...

Bilbao from industry

to tourists now.

And that's one thing
cool of him.

It came as a symbol
of the new Bilbao.

It's a beautiful art piece,
you know, as itself.

Basque people, especially
in the coastline, knew that

it's been very hard
to work the land.

So, most people are focused
working in the sea

with the fishermen now.

Very strong connection
with the ocean, you know.

That's a way of surviving,
you know.

So, I think it influenced a lot
in the Basque character.

We always been traveling
around the world, you know,

the Basque people.

[guitar music playing]

[Kepa] We are more connected
to the world by the sea,

than to Europe by the land,
you know.

That's why we trust

this cold terrain personality,
you know.

[music continues]

[Kepa] I think times
are changing very fast.

I'm traveling the world
and I'm looking

some of the places that...

When I was there, like,

six years ago by myself,

there were people that were
connected to occidental
culture, you know.

And now sometimes
I get by Facebook,

six years after I get connected
with them, you know.

So, I think all the world
is changing now,

and for the good
by one side,

and for the bad
by other, you know.

'Cause that's never going
to come back, you know.

So, for me, it's traveling
the world and knowing
other cultures is

a way to go back home and
really appreciate what we have

in the value
of a primitive language,

and culture that we have now.

[guitar music playing]

[Kepa] I was competing
for so long which I really
liked it at that time.

You're very focused
on one beach,

and from the beach
to the hotel,

and from the hotel to a beach.

And you're very focused
on 20 minutes
of the heat, you know.

Sometimes I realize that
I wanted to do
another thing, you know.

I think the surfing industry
also lost a lot of beauty
of those old times, you know.

So I was trying to recover
that spirit and just take
a surf bag and surf boards,

and know the world.
As simple as that, you know.

So, yeah, that was the way.

I bought a small camera
and I left.

I wasn't trying to do something
very sophisticated,

or I didn't have the technique
to do good clips, you know.

The way to express myself
was just say, hey, I'm here,
I'm looking for waves.

It's more about the feeling
of being alone.

Probably, if you are
with someone,

then things are not
that intense, you know.

But when you're by yourself,
and you're in a place
like that,

everything becomes
really dangerous for you...

You're very focused in what's
going on in that place.

And every little thing
in the normal life
disappears to focus on...

on the very important thing
which is get to the wave,
and survive, you know.

[laughing]

[guitar music playing]

[Kepa] You know,
the Basque people.
It's been traveling alot,

but also united together.

Culture, you know.
Traveling the world
has been a...

It's a great experience
to know other cultures
and other places.

But also it's a way
to come back and see

the Basque culture and people,

and tradition as from
an objective position,
you know.

So, you realize
there are little things

that we have here, so,

learn to appreciate our culture

and being proud of
what we are, you know.

So it's always great
to come back

and be with your friends
and family,

and this is where
I belong, you know.

[guitar music playing]

I really like to surf here
in the urban where we grew up.

It's a urban universe,

but it's a beauty universe,
you know.

[guitar music playing]

And then you have
the Mundaka,

and it has this wild nature,
protected nature that

everything around Mundaka
is beautiful, you know.

It's a great wave, but,

also when you are there,
everything around you is...

It's very unique, you know.

Everytime I think about it--
I don't believe in God, but,

if there is a reason to
believe in God, it's about
Mundaka is there, you know.

For me Mundaka is a motivation
of living here, you know,

because anytime you can get
the wave of your life
there, you know.

And you're with family
and friends in the water.

So its a very special place,
you know,

with the village there.

For us it's like a temple,
you know.

[instrumental music playing]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[Kepa] For me Tom Curren was
the most influential surfer.

And I think for a lot of
people too, you know.

Tom Curren for me
is the definition of surf.

He lived in the Basque country

but I remember watching him
surf in Mundaka,

and I remember his words,

he was saying that Mundaka
was the best wave
in the world, you know.

A lot of entrepreneurs in
the Basque country historically,

from Elcano to these times,
you know--

Elcano, who made
the world around tour

to these times, you know,
and I think it's not
a casuality, you know.

There's a lot
of adventurer's, and...

this is also adventure
from the Basque people
to the world, you know.

[Kepa speaking in Basque]

I would talk about, Natxo.
A Basque, strong personality,

optimistic dreamer, you know.

This kid has got something
special in him.

A great surfer,
and a great person too.

[music continues]

I'm Thomas Meyerhoffer.

And I'm from Sweden.

Been surfing since 1982.

I windsurfed, but for us
windsurfing in the waves

were as close as you could come
to surfing at that point.

Today, there's people surfing
everywhere in Sweden.

Where we used to wind surf,
same spots, same waves.

All through my high school,
I used to build
windsurfing boards,

and windsurf a lot.

And then when I decided
what I wanted to do,

I had to go to design school
and study car design
and design,

and there was no schools
in Sweden.

So I applied, and had to use
my surf boards to get
into the school.

I got to go in the late '80s,
surf the real waves.

And after my studies
at the Arts Center,

I wanted to see
if I could get a job
at Porsche, in Germany.

And got to work
on the interior
of the new Boxter.

Even if I loved the work,
it was difficult for me

to stay in the deep forest
of Germany,

and I was longing
for the ocean,

to go surfing again.

So, I packed my bags
and I applied for a job,

and I got many offers
in California,

and I decided to start
working at IDEO.

I worked there for about
four years, did uh...

many different designs.

And then I got...

a call one day from Apple,

and I designed a computer
called, eMate,

which is the first
translucent Apple computer.

But I think
at the certain time,
there was like--

I had all these projects
I wanted to do,

and I decided I was going
to set up my own studio.

[instrumental music playing]

I've had my studio now
for 15 years,

and done a lot of
different projects.

After Apple, I started to work
for the sport industry.

I designed the first...

sort of wrap around
ski goggle for Smith.

I designed wind surfing sails
for NeilPryde.

And during this time I got
more and more interested

in going back and looking
at the surf board again,

and started to surf
more and more.

What I do as a designer is,

is really trying to create
objects which has meaning.

A meaning which
you experience intuitively.

I was very curious if
I could do something
with the surfboards.

So I used all these
modern tools to do this,

I use CAD a lot.

All my boards are designed...

in the computer very precisely.

[drums beating]

[music continues]

The surfer's on...

which have had
bigger experiences,
which are understanding

the whole context of surfing,

they're very open towards...

my shapes, and my boards,
and they understand
what I'm trying to do,

and they're also are open
to experiencing them.

[drums beating]

[music continues]

It's definitely a really
different surfboard,

and I'm not going to lie.
I saw it,
and I pretty much thought,

there's no way in hell that
thing was going to work.

[guitar music playing]

Say you do a cutback
and you get a little
bit set behind,

then just hold that line and
that thing just starts flying.

It definitely opened my eyes,
and kind of got me
more inspired again.

[guitar music playing]

[music continues]

It has really good values
of a single fin

which are speed and
surfing out on a rail,

but then at the same time,
you can turn it on a dime,

and it will just follow
its line and spring
right out of it.

To me it has the best
of both worlds.

You almost feel like
you can get rid of

a lot of the bullshit
that's in surfing.

[guitar music playing]

[Thomas] I surf
because of the experience.

[indistinct chattering]

[Thomas] I like to surf...

where there's not
so many people.

I got heckled alot.

I got heckled
on my local beach,

I got heckled everywhere.

My social context for
the surfboard is not local,

it's global.

I'm inspired by nature
in itself, just...

kind of it's-- there's a
certain simplicity in nature.

I mean, things nowadays
are getting more and more
simple for me.

So they might look more and
more complex from the content,

but, the form is telling more
and more...

the real story of the meaning
of the product.

The surfboard for me is
an amazing piece to explore

because of that.
Because it bridges
betweens culptural quality

and the performance
of the object,

where certain parts
of the boards...

gives the user...

a certain type
of an experience

in different situations
on the wave.

[mellow music playing]

[music continues]

[Josh] I grew up with my--
surfing with my dad.

And my dad, he came
from the single fin era,

and then jumped
to the twin fin era.

And then, you know,
riding thrusters now, and...

he loves riding big waves too.

And so for me surfing
with him growing up,

it was pretty much throw.

every single board that
we have in the truck,

and you go down to the beach
and you're going surfing.

Simmons is the one that said,
"Surfboards are hydrodynamic
planing hulls."

That's what they are.
They're not paddle boards,

they are machines.

Chasing down information
for 12 years,

for hydrodynamic-

got the unfinished documentary.

I learned where a lot of
boards were.

Very unique boards.

I got to know the people
that own them.

Done some art gallery
independent stuff in
San Diego in spaces, etc.,

working with a lot of artists.

For some reason that was
something I like to do.

I have a passion about it.

Take a place
that's just a mess,

and take an idea of
exhibiting something,

and then spending the time
and going through
the whole process...

to where it finally on the day
right before it opens,

usually it all comes together.

[drums beating]

[music continues]

[drum beats continue]

[Richard] And there it is.

It's like this cutting...
some kind of...

rough stone, and making it end,
in like a jewel.

It takes a lot of people
to do that.

It's like a sort of
a team.

So, when I had the opportunity
to do it with boards

that were related to
Hydrodynamica, it appealed
to me to make that happen.

[drums beating]

[guitar music playing]

[Richard] This show starts
with a 1949 George Downing
finless Hot Curl.

We've got Bob Simmons,
and Terry Hendricks...

two mathematicians,

brilliant guys.

Terry's making spoon shells,
and eboards, and planing hulls.

And then you've got
George Greenough over there.

And then Steve Lis Fish
is on the wall.

And there's a very strong
relationship between
all of those boards.

And they're all outside
the normal realm.

When you see them
all together,
then behind them

you've got on a wall,
the whole IPS series.

Aipa's "Sting",

MR Twin,

Geoff McCoys "Lazor Zap",

Simon's "Thruster".

A lot of the elements that
are in all those IPS boards,

from the late seventies
and the early eighties,

really, the source of them
comes from all
those other boards.

Simmons, which guys that
are working their boards out

with mathematical equations.

That all looks very similar.

They look counter intuitive.

They're not pointy, you know.

They're all sort of
in this family.

You see relationships
between certain things
and other things, you know.

If you're tracing it all back
in the modern era,

you'll go back
to the "Hot Curl" in Downing,

and Simmons
in the pointing hull.

And those are the things that
end up being to greater
or lesser degrees

in your small waves boards,
and in your big wave boards.

And right now the trend is...

is sort of a...

Uh, like, "Well, maybe
we were stuck on...

the skinny hot curl idea
for a little too long,

and we need to go
this other direction
and find the optimum."

And I think that's
what's happening.

Everytime I see it I'm like,

"Okay, there's this much
of Hot Curl influence
in this sport,

and there's this much
of Simmons."

[instrumental music playing]

[waves splashing]

[door creaking]

[horn tooting]

[song playing on radio]

[chattering]

-[man] Yeah.
-[Darryl] And then look at it.

[drilling sounds]

Wow.

I was goofying at Cowells
and then I was like...

As I was growing up I was like,

I want to re-regulate...
Look at this, so many
rights around here.

So I just started
surfing regular...

[man] Oh, you did?

-[Darryl] Yeah.
-[man] Good.

'Cause I skate Goofy foot.

So I was...

Could have been in that, yeah.

[laughs]

[drilling noise]

Flea and Troy Virostko

started to ride my boards
when they were little kids.

Their dad, Steve,
was an absolute ripper.

One of the good old boys,
one of the red hot guys.

Troy and Darryl,
they're brothers.

They absolutely
loved each other.

[Darryl] I started surfing
when I was four years old.

My dad brought me down to
Cowells and helped me surf.

Growing up in Santa Cruz
was the best thing ever.

Being a kid, and living blocks
from the perfect surf spot.

Barney came into the scene.

I think I was in fourth grade
at Bayview. Barney moved
here from Kalinga.

Troy and Barney became
friends first

because I think they
were in the same class.

You know, I was just always...

hanging around.

Barney and Flea
got really close.

Really close.

A lot of love for each other.

A real strong relationship.

You know, they say
the best surfer is the guy
that has most fun.

Flat out, Barney
was the best surfer.

[Darryl] Barney went to
Puerto Escondido
and got on the cover.

So, like, limelight
was just like...

kind of focused towards
Santa Cruz, you know.

I think I was making like
300 bucks a month or something.

It got just crazy after
that, all of things that
we were doing.

Getting shots in the magazine,
the whole Air Revolution
just started blowing up.

[Zach] There's people that
still don't like Darryl

for the person he was
during all those years.

I mean, he was an asshole,
straight up.

If you were not in the click
in anyway,

you were going to hear it or
feel it in some crappy way,

even though you really might
not have been guilty
of any thing at all.

He was just basically like
localism, whatever
you wanna call it.

[Wesley] The first time
I met Flea was at
Steamer Lane.

I just moved up here
from Southern California
for college.

So, I decided to paddle out.

Flea and a couple of other
guys were out, and a slot
wave came to me and,

I'm going down the line
and here comes Flea,

paddling up the shoulder,

I ended up just basically
ramming right into him.

I ended up getting
surrounded by everybody,

and they chased me
out of the water.

And, I didn't go back for,
I don't know, at least a year.

Maybe two.

[Zach] Within the logic
of his mind,

he was being respectful
to the higher ups,

and all of the surfing history,

and culture.

Especially anything related
to Hawaii.

He always had
the highest possible regard,

and Richard Schmidt,
and Vince Collier.

[Darryl] I surfed Mavericks
first time, '91.

It was just one of those
afternoons,

we were talking to Vince in his
shaping room and he's like,

"What, look at the buoys,
it's on. Let's go."

And he was like, "Let's do it."

He cut in the corner
after getting through
the breakwater.

We were like, "What!"
We couldn't believe
we were seeing waves like this.

It was pretty intense,
you know, and just...

I just remember
that first session.

And it was just crazy,
you know. It was this
crazy day.

All of a sudden we get
a photo at Mavericks

on this huge wave,
and the guys are like, "Whoa!"

Look at this neat little deal.

These guys are the locals
up here, we should
get on this.

So we were going
both sides, you know.

We had the airgame.

The two foot Steamer Lane
just--

Aircrew everytime we surfed,
like, ten of us.

And then we had Mavericks
too, so it was just like
really helpful for us.

I was just feeling crazy,
you know, and not
scared at all.

I didn't really care if I died.

It was a weird kind of feeling.

Now that I've actually cared
so much about my life.

Having that feeling before,
you know, was pretty intense.

It was just like, I felt so
like... I was surfing every
single day, all day.

That's all I was doing.

Surfing the lane all day
every single day.

So I was in
the best paddling shape,
best physical shape,

so I felt really, really,
comfortable in the water.

And especially out there.

I got this little sparkle in
my eye thinking back about

all those guys when they
were growing up, you know.

'Cause I guess Renee and I
got to watch them all
pretty much grow up.

'Cause they grew up
with our kids.

Flea was always very unique.

He was going to do it his way.

It didn't matter
what the rules were,

or what was normal,
or this or that.

There was the Flea way.

And that was pretty cool.

You know, it took him
a really, really long way
and it got him to...

got him to the peak.
Got him to the pinnacle.

I'd say that in the early
nineties, you know,

some of those Westside guys,

Flea included,

they were the tip
of the spear for

paddling, big wave surfing,
and tow-in big wave surfing.

There was no script to follow
or anything.

[Darryl] When you win
$15,000 for winning a...

a Maverick contest,
it feels pretty good.

Slater was in that
second year of contest

and that was kind of
a big deal for everybody.

That was definitely
the biggest, biggest win
of my life.

It was cool because
I beat him in every heat.

You know, I think he was
in every single heat of mine.

There was no confusion.

Third time it was just like,
I was losing, you know.

I think I just needed a wave
and then I got that wave

in last five minutes.

[Zach] He liked big waves,
he charged big waves,

he was passionate
about big waves.

And he found himself in
a position to go, "Okay,
this is pretty damn intense.

I like this."

And he had the ability
to pull it off,

to take the late take offs.

He had the ability to get his
ass held out of the water,

and rolled around,

and spun, and dizzy.

Let's go get another one.

So much attention kind of
drawn towards myself.

Sponsors want me to travel,
all the trade shows,

drinking, and so much
heavy stuff going on.

Things got crazy.
This money was just no object.

And close to twelve grand
a month.

So I was like, let's go,
you guys want to go.

Let's go to Vegas for a week.

[Zach] Darryl's Mavericks years
were all just wild.

Booze, Valiums,

but in the more sober stages
of all those moments,

just crushing raw talent.

He was just so much raw
talent surfing,

It's like he couldn't help
but be good.

He wasn't no paddling,
or doing push-ups,

or you know, thinking
about his diet.

[Darryl]
It was heavy back then.

All the older guys that
were doing crazy stuff.

A lot of cocaine, and weed,
it was kind of gnarly back then.

You kind of look up to maybe
sometimes the wrong people.

When I won my last title
in 2004,

everyone wants to be
your friend,

there's chicks, you got
a house, hot tubs,
'65 ragtop Impala.

Plenty--
it was these crazy times.

[Nat] I always kind of saw him
as kind of this rockstar type
surfer guy on the west side.

He drove around, like,
a low rider like Cadillac.

I'm like... I think he had
like hydraulics and stuff.

[Darryl] When you stop thinking
about what's important

and why and how you got
to a place that...

that you worked so hard
to get to,

from surfing and putting in
all that water time
and this and that,

and getting these sponsors
and doing the right thing.

We got introduced to...
first it was cocaine, you know.

Then all of a sudden, like,
one night or whatever,

meth, you know, came about.

"Here, try a hit of this,"
you know.

And when I started smoking meth
I liked how it made me feel,

and I just got totally
addicted to it, you know.

And I needed it
every single day.

And that's what scared me
'cause I'd never had that
feeling before.

There was a pretty noticeable
point where it stopped working.

Heat, for a Mavericks
contest, and he's just
nowhere to be seen in this.

His heat's in five minutes,
he's not in the water anywhere.

Everyone's in the water.
He's not there.

A jet-ski comes out pulling
a little tiny rowboat,

and he's in it.

No fins, no wax, nothing.

The heat starts...

and he's looking for wax.

And just raging so hard
the night before,

that the only way to
hit the brakes on that,

and even have a chance
at making the event

is just start hitting
so many valiums,

that now this person's like
so asleep in the lineup.

I think I was in this heat
with him, for I was like,

"Cool, I got a better chance
of making it out of this heat."

When Flea was, like,
really at the bottom
of that downhill slide,

when he fell off the cliff
up in the North coast,

I think his world
was just really intense.

[Darryl] And I broke my arm,

like, double compound fracture.

I had cuts all over
my whole head,

stitches all over
my whole head, face...

I got medevaced over the hill,

'cause, you know,
I came close to dying, and...

that still wasn't enough,
you know.

That's what's crazy about meth.

I couldn't surf, so I was like,
"I can't surf!

Fuck, I might as well
fucking get high."

[Zach] After he got out
of the hospital, I mean,
he just looked so bad.

He comes out into
the middle of the street,

and he's just so emaciated.

And he just looked like,
literally like beef jerky
wrapped around a skeleton.

[Darryl] My dad, and my aunts,
and my brother,

and Richard Schmidt,
and a couple of guys,

older boys and said, we want
you to go to this place
called the Beacon house.

I got in my truck
with my girlfriend,
my now wife, and...

checked myself in
and that was it.

[Steve] Wow!
That was the consequence
chapter, I guess.

Our son went down a similar
road in the same time.

And next chapter is recovery.

And I'll tell you, something
really sweet happened
once upon a time,

I mean, word filtered back
to us in our family

that Flea was sobering up
and that was really righteous.

And Renee, my wife, ran into
Flea one day at the lane,

and seeing the two of them
hug brings a tear to my
eye right now. [laughs]

'Cause I knew we had
somebody who came
back from the other side.

And I know how hard it is
to come back
from the other side,

because I've got loved ones
who haven't made it back yet,

or maybe never will.

[Zach] Ninety percent
of the people,
they don't come back

from being that far gone,

but I think that
because of Flea,

his personality is like,
it's ingrained in him,

when he just sets his mind,
like, "I'm just going
to do this!"

He's just going to do it.

[Darryl] When I came
back from rehab to
my house to clean up,

and like figure it out,

I was like, "Holy shit!"

Seeing how different it was,

How could someone's mind
go out so far that way?

Straight over to Barney's,
like, 'Barney,
what are you doing?"

He kind of cut it out
a little bit.

I was completely done.

Barney, he's an artist,
so he could do whatever
he wants sometimes.

That's why he would, like,
tell me, you know.
He was like,

"I need to expand my mind
sometimes cause I'm an artist."

When I work at Fleahab,
and stuff like that,

and I help these people,
like, it's just so amazing,

because you watch someone
come in, completely broken,

to see them actually bud
again, and become this
beautiful flower again,

it's just crazy!

And the things that they're
doing in their lives now,

you were a part of that,

it's like the best feeling
in the world, and...

We all need to help people
in life.

It's an amazing thing.

It's amazing what Flea
is doing now these days,

because, it is part of
rehabilitation and
getting better.

Giving back what you've
learned is instrumental
in keeping yourself

on the right track,
and you're helping others.

Even during his years of
abuse he's always
had the biggest heart.

He'd see something that he knew
that his friend at home liked,

whether it be a piece of
drift wood that was
shaped like something,

or a rock, or a shell,
and give them as a present.

He's always been an awesome guy,

as far as doing stuff
for the community.

I remember, like, he always
used to go down

to Mitchells and Barbecue
for the homeless people.

[Darryl] For me, like, having
kids was the best thing
in the world.

Having a beautiful wife,

that supported me
through all my hard times

was the best thing ever.
You know, that's...

She's a strong woman to
put up with all my bullshit,

and actually stick with me,
and...

come to where we are now.

To have these beautiful
children is so amazing.

And to make something,
as a child, it's so cool.

It's so amazing that
we can do this, you know.

So when I had
my first daughter, Lily,

I just fell in love harder
than I've ever fallen in
love with anything.

And my other daughter,
Rita, too.

It's like, I have so much love
for these two little people.

Making it out on the other end,
and having kids, and...

starting to take care of your
life, and go the right
direction in your life,

is super fun, and I wouldn't
trade it for the world.

Surfing is fun these days,
you know.

And I don't have to go out
there and surf, and, like...

think that I got to surf better
than these groms,
cause I can't.

These kids are ripping.

I'm so glad that I'm there
in my life,

to where it's more of
just a fun thing,

and I can see them ripping,
and feel their stoke,
and stuff like that.

It's really fun just going out
and just having a good time.

[instrumental music playing]

[Zach] Darryl changed
his course so much
that it's like...

you know, somebody who's
had a lot of life experience.

Like stories most people
never get to in their life.

Now he's kinda like...

that grom, again.

Almost like the inspired
innocent way. Like he's
just stoked.

He never even had the chance
to have that good way,

which almost makes who
he is today more remarkable.

It's not like he's going back
to something he knew before.

Like, he's eking this out
from scratch.

Then, maybe that's why
he's just so sincere and honest

'cause it's just fresh
and real.

He's getting all of those
experiences for
the first time.

Barney's death...

Man...

that sucks.

It affects me a lot
because it's, like,

he's my best friend, you know.

And, just seeing him gone,
it's just... It's just
weird to me.

You take things for granted.

And with Barney I couldn't
really hang out with him as
much as I wanted to, you know.

Barney had a hard time
listening to me.

I was "Little General" to him.
That's what he called me.

Everytime we were out
going on a trip anywhere,

I was like, "Barney,
got your passport?"
"Barney, let's go."

I was at his house a hour and
a half early every single time.

So I was always on him.
He would never, like,

agree with me. So, I
kind of gave up a little bit.

That's what's sad.
It's like, now that
he's gone, it's like, phew!

I wish I would have just

been a little more on him.

I knew that if I ever had
needed anything, Barney
would be there for me.

Like, there's not a lot of
people like that, you know.

And Barney was like
that for me.

He knew that I would be there
for him.

Losing that was the hardest
thing that's happened
in my life.

He had a thin spot
in his heart.

And that's what burst.

It was totally avoidable.

If we would have known this,
he could have got surgery
and got it fixed.

Drugs didn't help
in that situation.

I just wished that we would
have known that, because
then we could have...

actually got his ass in there
and got something done.

I feel like I could have
saved him if I would've known.

I take things from Barney
all the time, you know.

He did his own thing, you know.

He lived his life the way
he wanted to live his life.

And he was happy all the time.

He enjoyed his life.

And we all need to just enjoy
our life,

not take life so seriously
sometimes.

He was in my dream last night.

Yeah. I don't remember
the dream so well,

but he had to go somewhere,
or something like that.

It was just
the trippiest thing.

I think he's still around.

Floating around somewhere.

[music continues]

[man]
Our sacred grounds.

Well, why are they sacred?
It's because...

The earth though is not like
a washing machine...

It's the clothes are done...

The earth is a neat place
for all to cherish.

Don't get stuck
in your petty, petty...

Listen to some Tom Petty,
Flea likes him.

[man]
Hopefully in the future...

we could live in harmony!

And, uh, learn off each other.
