Nick Rozsa article on Stab

[Aruka]

For everyone who signed up for Stab Premium to watch EAST, this is worth a read/watch.

I remember being pretty hyped on his surfing back in the day. He has great style for a short and stocky guy.

For not being able to surf much in the past decade+ he really looks good in the J-bay clip, IMO.

Nick Rozsa Returns: On J-Bay, Family, Work, And His Post-Surfing Obsession

Nick’s professional surf career ended roughly 13 years ago. When we heard he was doing a trip to J-Bay, we remained cautiously optimistic.

If I recall I think he was doing some pretty damn progressive stuff in his prime and was definitely a fan.

Used to love his clips. He had an insanely good bs blow tail on par with Dane and Wade Goodall.

He does a few in the back half of this edit. Also, slater who has a cameo and is 40ish in this clip… wow.

Why did he stop surfing?

Why did he stop surfing?

He had a 3 year old special needs kid and the mom bailed so he quit surfing to take work and take care of him.

He's got a new wife and a couple younger kids now too.

back when he had good boards.

Absolutely blown away by how hard he was shredding after not surfing for a decade.

Dudes a ripper. Gave it up to be a single dad to his kid. Good man!!! Says a lot about his character.
If I remember correctly he's building boats?
I forgot to renew my Stab memb.

He was the guy who had the El Porto instagram reports, right?

Yeah, boats.

For all the non stab havers, here is some of the j-bay footage with Proctor and Nick talking about the boards. The boards and the surfing are overshadowed only by their glorious beards.

No, same handle, Salty Beards, but different guy.

Damnit now I wanna order a Rascal! Maybe my beard will fill in a bit more.

He surfed for the Ventura team at the West Coast Boardriders event last weekend in Morro Bay. He was their first surfer in the 30-39 year olds, padddled straight out and in less than 5 minutes threw up an 8 point ride . He was looking pretty sharp.

You’re correct. He was Nick’s filmer for 16 years.

Silicon Beach people got jobs at Meta who owns Instagram and they were mad at being featured in an Instagram video where they fucking bogged ass and went straight after blowing their dad's boyfriend in the parking lot. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself the Instagram seems like it's jackbooted.
