Check out this hilarious video of Occy on the Australian Dancing with the Stars show. Doesn’t the dancer in the video remind you of the little Occy in the movie, North Shore?? Haha, he’s just as bad on Dancing with the Stars as Rick Kane was in the Arizona wave pool! Don’t shred so bad brah, you break your stick. Really, props to the movie North Shore. That was and still is a classic surf movie. It’s a “must have” in your surf movie vault.
