L’un des meilleurs surfers du monde, vainqueur des Pipe Masters, de l’OP Pro, ancien champion du monde et free surfeur fou, sans compter toutes ses victoires sur les contests internationaux ces 25 dernières années, Mark Occhilupo revient chez Globe pour une nouvelle ère de collaborations.
“Globe is an Occy lifer and Occy’s a globe lifer” says Steve Hill, Globe’s Co-Founder. “From the moment we were fortunate enough to have Occy join the team, we were stoked and we still are. The way he has and continues to surf amazes us and we are honored to be part of Mark’s personal/surfing journey. Aspects of Occy…The journey continues…”
Occy says, “Over the years, I’ve felt like I’ve been fortunate to have a family of supporters who have stuck by me in the good times and challenging times. I believe in loyalty and I’ve been with Globe footwear for twelve years so when the opportunity came up to look at a new contract, I wanted to make it happen. It wouldn’t feel right wearing any other shoes!
My son, Jay, loves the skate shoes and is as good a skater as a little grommet surfer, so he’s always decked out in the latest gear. It’s so cool to watch him skating around the front yard—he’s got all the tricks.
I am really looking forward to developing new styles in footwear with Globe over the next couple of years. I may be retired from the professional circuit, but I’m certainly not just sitting at home waiting for the swell to hit.”
