Nick Rozsa new site, new clip, new foam.

Nick Rozsa as the world’s best kept surfing secret is starting to wear off. When you’re getting props from the 11-time champ and uploading clips like this Mexican gem, it’s even harder to go under the radar. He’s just launched a new site, Salty Beards, too. These are the kinda clips that are making surf movies (pressed on DVDs, that is) defunct.

good surfing without a doubt, but not as good as me. Im more powerful, with better carves, airs and Im unpredictable as fuck.

That being said this guys ripss super hard……..just not as good as me

2.

Comrades…everyone here seems to have their underwear tied in a knot over how good this guy surfs. Let’s get a few facts straight: Does he rip? Yes. Is he top 10 CT material? No. Let’s put the editing and tight pantalones hipster shit aside for a sec. What we need to consider is that we are looking at his best clips on what literally appears to be a perfect wave. I’ve watched lots of this guys clips. He is a great surfer and he has good flow. his above the lip game is solid. However…the scene is loaded with waaaaayyyy to many “half underground” free surfers who want to be dane. If you are wondering why he isn’t an A Team Billabong guy, maybe its because the market literally cannot support that many guys right now, especially free surfers. I want to see what this guy can do besides what we seen in these clips. If you put him next to CJ hobgood at 8-10 foot Cloudbreak, how will his surfing look? On another note…and I’m interested in hearing what others think, it seems like Jordy and a few others locked massive deals, only to be sitting next to another “as equally” progressive group of kids, which is continuing to expand. (Kolohe, Gabriel, JJ). These guys were not in the mix when Jordy was getting calls from Tiger woods. Next we have Gieselman. We have Yadin now. Also, why is that damn Weimerainer so skinny? Feed the thing a fucking burrito or something. Your in Mexico. They are like 2 bucks.

Yes! That was really quite mental. Hats off to the filmer too, great stuff.

4.

Agree at some level mate! But lets be real here for a second, we are comparing Dane Reynolds and Kelly Slater to Nick Rosza? Rumor is Roszaa makes a chip flippers paycheck while supporting a family and most people hate him. The other two rake in millions a year and are loved by all. Give this lad some credit. Kid’s a fucking legend in my eyes cunt

5.

Hmmm, i think before anybody else starts making outlandish claims along the lines of him being as good as Dane, they should revisit both lost interest and excerpts. I just did and they’re kinda, a lot better. Dane’s slobs are boned to perfection and his rail work is beyond rad, Rozsa’s good, but not Dane

1.

This guy is the new Dane.

    2.

    Way better style than Dane.

    3.

    He’s not like Dane at all, every turn he does is highly predictable which is the opposite to Danes surfing. He also needs to watch Kelly and and learn how to do a proper critical cutback, he hardly ever does a cutback where he rebounds of the foam.

        5.

        Millions is a bit of an over statement kent. My point is that people shouldn’t say he is like Dane when most of his turns are pretty standard compared to Dane’s. My comment on the cut back came from 1:14 and 1:39 for example.

6.

Yes! That was really quite mental. Hats off to the filmer too, great stuff.

7.

Those early waves are near on perfection.

8.

Yep agreed with D-Twad, like a mix between Julian Wilson, Dane Reynolds, and Ozzie Wright.

9.

Gasp! Blown the f-k away by this guy. Where did he come from? Jesus, what a video :0

10.

Best vid on stab since homegrown 4. cheers to the film-edit guy

11.

such a joy to watch this guy surf

12.

Agree James. So keen to see what this looney guy does next! This team is straight up owning the web in 2012. Pure Rock

13.

I think its R O Z S A not ROSZA.. not sure really. Dude kills it, edit is wild

14.

as good as dane reynolds yessir

15.

    16.

    $7 million USD a year compared to ??? Nobody knows how much Rosza makes but… Ya comparing Nick to Dane is a …Lost Cause

    17.

    ya and how long did it take to film all those movies 6months? they did this in one trip

18.

HHHmmm the surfing is pretty rad but lets not overhype the film/edit – it was pretty average actually. So very short of creative to be honest – whoever it did wants to rip off Kai Neville (candid reality and a game of thirds in the water) – you can tell who’s trained and who aint in this surf video game. This edit makes your eyes work too hard – darting all over the screen. No flow joe – Kai’s films are still worth buying as long as this kinda stuff is heralded as legit film work. Sorry film/edit guy

    19.

    By “trained” you mean Taylor teaching/giving Kai everything? Kai neville is nothing special. He wouldnt be shit if it wasnt for T.Steele and the best surfing cast in the world. Talk about some bitch having everything handed to them. Mate nobody would know/give a fuck who Kai was if he didnt receive all the handouts he did. Cheers to this video. True underground. This edit compares to nothing on the web. Last time i check this video wasnt sponsored by Monster energy drink, Skull candy, Nike and 20 other major corporations. Go back to work Timmy

      20.

      NO I mean film school – not a kid with another 7D and pro surfer for a buddy. I didn’t say Kai’s work was amazing but it has flow and works for a reason. He uses clever editing and filming techniques combined with common framing practices that go unnoticed to the untrained eye. Sure I agree, his films wouldn’t be worth all the hype or even be worth buying if they didn’t have the surfers or the backing….but what part of the entire film industry is not like that? Surf films or not? But this little webclip shows the difference between a kid with a camera and a film worth buying. It could have been amazing if the editor knew what he was doing. “True underground?”…..Put a clip on the net without a major sponsor backing it and now your regarded as an “indie” filmmaker….haha surfing is so behind. I’ll go back to work now. I’m stoked for Nick – because it looks like he’s consistent so that alone should get him in a few decent films.

    21.

    He has only been filming and editing for little under a year with no budget. Pretty amazing considering this. Can’t what more time and experience brings!!! I given an A+

      22.

      Can’t wait to correct the above comment.

23.

salty neck beards?

24.

great surf, pretty rad. sure see some Rasta looking like here. to tell you guys the truth, didn’t see anything close to dane, ozzy or julian. stop looking at the guys clothes and check out the curves, the body language, the body position. I didn’t see any carving here like the ones Dane does. But I see really technical moves and pretty hard turns, so, great stuff for sure!

25.

Impressive rail game, we all knew he could do huge airs, this just enforced how good he is.

26.

You guys used Dirty Beaches ? Get your own music, fags.

    27.

    hahahhahahahahahhaah what a retard

28.

good surfing without a doubt, but not as good as me. Im more powerful, with better carves, airs and Im unpredictable as fuck.

That being said this guys ripss super hard……..just not as good as me

29.

real star of this video is the wave

30.

Rosza crushes. He’s miles ahead of the bottom half of the CT, no diggity, no doubt. Comparison to Dane – O are def. legit, similiar style and power, but dane is dane. Backside finners to infinity? Check. Lofty boosts? si senorita. Rail game? ah yup. Difference between dane and nicky? Rozsa’s gotta kid to feed expect some sickness from him in the next 3 to 5.

out.

pimperish.

31.

So…gleaning a lesson from Dane and Nick, the secret to being a ‘cool surfer dude’ is hawaiian print button ups, facial hair, beer and dirty beaches…either that, or Rozsa is biting Dane’s style (albeit easier to do once you shred). Still though, when hipster shredding becomes formulaic in that it can be replicated with relative ease to great success, then does it still have impact?

32.

I think Rosza is fucking RAD! Not the best in the world but he’s def top 10! Most underground, underrated surfer of the modern shredding era. He blows away 3/4 of the Lost Atlas cast and so does this edit. Kai is Kai and Dane is Dane but Rosza and Papleo are one hell of a combo I must say.

33.

My dog could have been Kai Nevbev is he had Taylor Steele as his owner. If Nick was spono’d by Nike and his filmer was a tight pant wearing hipster you would all be praising him. Underground King No Question

34.

What have Julian, Dusty, Kolehe, or any of those over hyped/paid kids been putting out lately? Jordy’s last video was beyond horrible.. Kolehe just keeps putting out sub par video’s… whos really doing anything like Nick? Where’s the major sponsor? I have a feeling a big deal is in place for this team.

35.

I thought his last hg4 was his best so far but this makes my top webisodes of the year list. No doubt

    36.

    This one’s difficult I’ve only met Dane once, blrfeiy, and that was in a dark bar. I don’t remember him being super shifty and paranoid, though, so clearly his acting chops are teh bomb. I’m absolutely convinced he’s being harassed.On the other hand, I’ve never met Matt. Perhaps he really is that sexually creepy in person, in which case his so-called acting can’t compete with Dane’s Brando-before-he-ate-his-own-island-esque performance.I have to give the nod to Dane.

37.

too much hate. nice vid. thats all

38.

Well , SID AN NANCY , gives a thumbs up , great style , great surfing, keep rideing ur own path young man , its working well

39.

Speaking of Jordy, when’s that cunt gonna put out another vid anyhow? Real prick i reckon going 3 months without a single update

    40.

    just deleted his site and replaced it with salty beards. jordy didn’t put out a clip for about six months on his old site, then he launched his new website and doesn’t update that either. why have a site at all. fat bastard must be too busy pumping his model girlfriend.

41.

I cant believe some of you fools… He has nothing on Dane. Dane invented this guy, gave him the path hes now taking, doesnt have the aggresion or intensity of Dane at all!!! Surfs really good though but come on..?

    42.

    ANd by that reasoning Slater invented Dane, and Archy Slater and so on and so on.Both soften hands while doing dishes, thats the important thing.

43.

really not digging them penny “skateboards”

44.

I think a lot of these posts are written by rozsa ball washers.

Tell me guys, is it hard to type and wash Rozsa’s bals at the same time?

45.

Rad. Kinda sucks when people compare him to dane tho. its fucking dane……………… Rozsa is Rozsa

46.

he’s casual like ando, but with a little more urgency. didn’t reef drop him then re-sign?

47.

These comments are amazing!
There is some seriously trivial discussion on here.
People are analyzing the integrity of the filming, or originality of the surfing. It’s so ridiculous.
Who cares? The dude surfs with flair and steez, and the clip is rad.

    48.

    The you will love an excerpt from Oldmate above. Quote; “Dane’s slobs are boned to perfection ”
    ….Boned to perfection….Fucking hell.

49.

why are people comparing nick to dane? this video has nothing to do with him. dane doesnt even exist in any of nicks video’s…why? maybe people need something to bick about. nick is nick, nick surfs like nick, dane is dane and dane is obviously a freak so stop comparing two completely different people. who cares if they are doing the same thing with their careers. maybe people should take notes on how to make a comeback from this kid if anything. i read his story in t.w.s and this kid seems to be in a much better place then where he was at prior. im stoked for nick he has come a long way. stop comparing apples with oranges. period

    50.

    i’d say that dane exists in nicks vids in a big way. indy image, extended trip to mexico laying it on rail, dirty beaches sound track… come on

51.

Nick has steeze for days. He isn’t Dane and doesn’t need to be. He’s Nick. Here’s a question to answer though:

Right now, is Mr Rozsa the best surfer in the world who’s never surfed a WT event?

    52.

    Mitch Coleborn? Maybe in fiji, that’d be cool huh

53.

average at best ,both the surfing and filming,scene it all before stuff !!!

    54.

    besides dane, who is putting out anything even close to this on a consistent basis? I cant name 2 guys!

55.

Besides The Holy Reynolds & God of all that is surfing (slater) I think Nick is #1 right now. Especially as free surfers go. Yes 2Johns is fucking gnarly, same with kolehe and gabe (both freaks ya) but those guys still have a lot of evolving to do. RIGHT NOW nick is entering his prime and there’s only a few other wave riders i would rather watch. Keep is up young man the future is bright. Overcome those rough moments and keep putting out some of the best video’s to ever surface on the internet! Cheers

56.

Internet Hive Mind going on here. Everyones’ clips are starting to look & sound the same. And all you idiot punters on here trying to compare peoples’ surfing based on a few video clips really don’t have a clue.

57.

judging by the sheer amount of comments here the dude is doing something right. But yeah… don’t compare him with dane.

58.

Rozsa is like Dane light. His films are Dane-like, his surfing similar but I didn’t care 2/3 into the film. You wait for Dane to blow your mind which he does with regularity- like watching Kelly in finals. His films are also second to Dane’s but head and shoulders over the corporate crap Stab runs when nothing is happening.

59.

why did surfer mag take this vid off their site ??

    60.

    remove

61.

read the shit all these idiots have written.. get a fucking life

62.

wilko should watch this

63.

DR shits on this guy and everyone else, who the fuck started these absurd comparisons??

64.

50 Air revos don’t make you great it makes you a one trick pony

    66.

    true story. still want to see more tho!

67.

I like the part about how everyone has an opinion on this video and no one has an opinion on why they care so much about surfing. It seems the corporate surfing conglomerate has created a parallel surfcentric universe where all that people do all day is wank off to surf porn and brag about who shreds who. The surf Illuminati are laughing all the way to their local Orange county Banks as surf inebriated premadonna’s shell out coin to support their favy brands executives cocaine addictions, who think it’s a good idea to make people like Andy Iron’s public icons for the youth. I’m gonna put my joint down right now and edit this fine comment so I don’t sound like a globalist hating neo hippy. UH oh no disrespect AI just in case your reading this from heaven or maybe hell either case u rule and pass the peyote

68.

dane high, does the craziest thrills ever.. even drunk he rips.. that’s why he can’t stand the ct

69.

“Wasting Time”- Jack Johnson pretty much sums up this whole thing, and every other amature debate.

70.

owning!!!!

71.

great form

72.

Nick kills it and Chris does great edits. Comparisons aside, he’s figured out how to surf for a living and help people along the way. Pull your heads out you wankers.
