Meet Jack O’Neill
Posted 30 Oct 2012, by STABmagMeet the man responsible for warmth in cold surf, whose face you’ve seen in iconic O’Neill imagery, eye-patched and amazing. Jack O’Neill. With the company’s Cold Water Classic world tour event starting in three days’ time, here’s a look at where it all began.
No words describe my thoughts. This guy is surfing.
Contrived, WTF are you on about. Jordy is showing thanks to the man that helps to put food on his plate. It is called respect.
we used to trick or treat at his house on halloween. He gave out hats and wallets to all the kids. super cool guy
thats rad.
He used to ride by my old house on his bike everyday. Always seemed so down to earth, what a special guy. Crazy to see how frail he looks now. What a legend.

I will need glasses after squinting at yet another STAB mini-feature. Jack is legend. Without him we would all b wearing burlap and wool sweaters.
Oh, you need full screen!
Lol at how contrived Jordy can be when he needs to

Drew Kampion that slippery bastard …
he won’t accept my FB friend request
There have been a ton of BIG shark sightings in Santa Cruz this month, including a 20 footer that made the paper, and multiple attacks on seals right off the beaches on the North Coast! Wetsuits or not, Unless they start making them out of Kevlar, time to be wary up there.
an attack just happened in Humboldt..
rad,,,,much respect
Why’d they put him at such a big desk?

wonder if Jordy is still gonna feel that way once he gets dropped so they can keep the real talent, Mr. Florence…
well Rhino, as much as i hate Jordy and love JJ i think Oneill is doing good enough to keep them both on the roster if they feel so inclined. If they had to choose though we all know JJ would come out on the top of that decision. And L8drop i always expect the best comment from you, thanks for not letting me down!
My first wetty was an O’No O’Neill back in ’91. I’ve mostly worn Billabong suits for the past twenty years but knowing a legend and amazing soul like Jack is behind O’Neill makes me want to buy his brand more than any overhyped wetsuit marketing campaign. Respect. Give him a wildcard.
hell yeah! nice.
