Joe Rogan Experience #1193 - Shane Dorian

yeah he's uh i think he's too smart he's too smart to talk to regular people
boom powerful big wave surfer how are you buddy i'm great we just got back from
playing a little
techno hunt we did man greatest thing of all time right i was just saying i i
don't care what the
price is it's worth it it's a it's a bargain at twice the price or whatever it
is yeah for people
who don't know what it is it's this game that it simulates bow hunting so what
it is is is a giant
screen that's made out of kevlar and then uh it's got us like a projector
projects hd images of elk
and deer you can set it up for a bunch of different animals but elk and deer
walk across the screen
and you shoot at them and it's like the perfect there's a we showed a little
video of shane doing
earlier it's really cool man it's a perfect practice for bow hunting because
one of the things about
bow hunting is you get nervous and the more you could do something like this
where you just shot
a perfect shot the more you could do that over and over and over again the more
it becomes ingrained
in your your your nervous system ingrained in your muscles ingrained in your
memory and then it becomes
natural yeah it's awesome yeah it's pretty dope we're gonna make this podcast
about 15 minutes long
and go back and shoot to her yeah that's what we're actually talking about
cutting off the podcast short
just for that so tell me about this movie man yeah so i'm in la for the
premiere the hbo premiere of the
momentum generation it's a it's a uh it's a sports documentary that uh that hbo
and robert redford did
so it's cool man it's it's it's really cool it's um it's a story about my
friends and i we you know we
all grew up uh competitive surfers and in high school we all sort of met each
other through through
competitions competing so this tells the story of how we basically how we met
how we grew up um and how
we became friends and family basically like traveling around the world you know
together as basically like
little kids with no with no chaperones on on tour around the world so crazy it's
a it's a wild story pull this
like keep this like a fist away from your face all right how old were you when
you first started
surfing uh i started surfing on a stand-up surfboard when i was five and when
did you start traveling to
surf when i was 12 i went to england for the the world amateur championships
wow so i was on the hawaii
team doing this traveling surfing thing yeah most of your life yeah wow it's
crazy that is nuts man
i've been i've been putting my surfboards in a board bag and you know walking
out the door with
my passport since i was 12 and going to so many different destinations around
the world literally
just for surfing wow nuts this is such a crazy way to grow up and that's the
cool thing about the film is
all of us had that in common and it's it's crazy the way the story's set up too
because
there's so many things in it that i didn't really realize were happening at the
time like like i came
from i came from a broken family alcoholic father you know kind of a radical um
situation at home and
then like a lot of us had like broken families a lot of us had that in common
so we sort of have
like this weird fucked up family dynamic in common so we all became sort of
like our own family on the
road so we we were competing for a world title we were all competing and going
around the world all
the time staying together so we became best friends like this nucleus of surfers
and we all just became
ultra close and then when things get got really serious with the surfing
competition and there was
a lot on the line with sponsors and money and big brands coming in the shit hit
the fan and then
we started like breaking up it got too serious it was almost like a band who
just couldn't stand each
other anymore or things got too radical or you know girls got in the way or
money got in the way and
so there was like this kind of like breaking up element you know throughout our
group wow i would
imagine when you're living like that those people must be so valuable for you
though people that can
understand your way of life because it's their way of life too because like to
to a regular person who
commutes every day and goes to an office and comes home like your life is alien
yeah it is i still get
like i still get uncomfortable when people ask me what i do for a living
you know like i'll like i'll be in like a normal random setting and someone be
like oh yeah what do you
do for a living i'm like no don't do not ask me that because nobody understands
you know it's like
what do you tell them i i tell them the truth but it's i just always tell them
like it's it's really
hard to explain but i serve for a living i mean what the is that yeah do they
go how does that work how do you get paid yes all the time and i just got i
have no idea well you
don't necessarily compete any longer right no just not at all ride big waves i
do i ride big waves
that's my focus and i also ride all kinds of waves i surf every day and you
know the waves don't get
big that often right when the waves are biggest i'm on it yeah for a person
that like is just meeting
you for the first time and doesn't understand surfing and is trying to wrap
their head around making a
living yeah riding the waves of the ocean it's like how why what wait a minute
no i went to accounting
school and i and i don't have there's not like a there's nothing i mean there's
there's not like
another category i can really point to to to make the point go quicker to there's
not like um you know
it's like there's basketball players and football players and all of them are
like scoring goals
and getting these brand endorsements from that from competition element so
because i'm a free surfer
who doesn't compete at all it's just it's hard to wrap your head around but
that's even harder
yeah basically i i you know i i uh you know i have a a large surfing profile
and so like i work with a
lot of brands and that's just the kind of the way it works it's just sponsors
yeah yeah now this movie
this documentary do they have footage of you guys from when you were really
young oh yeah yeah they do
is that weird watching that stuff yeah very weird because we're all in our 40s
now we all got kids and
yeah for most of us except for kelly kelly's still going he's 40 46 years old i
i i saw him on your
show the other day it's pretty classic but so so he's like a focal point in the
film he's he's part
of the momentum generation and um and so he there's incredible footage of him
when he's you know nine
years old or 10 years old and he's in florida like a little rat like a little
sunburned rat and um
it's neat you know i mean i mean we all had that in common that's we we all
grew up in in different
places and then we all fell in love with surfing you know separately and then
we all just became
super tight so wow it was a great it's it's great and then now we're all like
best friends again
because there's no there's no points on the line or world title on the line or
like brands getting in
the way or girls getting in the way we're all we're all you know yeah we're
finally growing up
that i mean that had to be strange though to be so tight and then everything
sort of get bottlenecked
by the pressure yeah anything serving how much pressure could there be but you
know we're all
trying to make a living right it's like you know that was our dream to like
surf as much as possible
and see the world and that's the only way you could do it for us whenever there's
competition there's
got to be massive amounts of pressure whenever there's someone trying to
achieve something or
someone trying to rise to the top of a profession and you're surrounded by a
bunch but you also must
have pushed each other too and it must have been beneficial to have people like
you around as well
i i think it's it's part of it's just you know i think it's like part of our
our like human dna
to you know to be naturally competitive i think especially men i think we feel
like we have something
to prove you know like where we stand like compared to the other guys whether
it was like in the caveman
days or or like the hunt you know the first hunters where it was like they're
for sure they were there
they were competitive to see who could bring home meat for the for the tribe
yeah and then it just
you know kept going from there and and and now we we we compete with whatever
we're into and
you know for us with surfing we became hyper competitive and especially me like
from the
time i was like maybe 16 or 17 until the time i was like my mid-20s i was like
super competitive
where i want to rip people's heads off in my heat like i would like visualize
horrible horrible things
happening to them while i was competing against them like what and it flies so
crazy how that's gone
100 gone from my my being now i can't even imagine doing that i'm like the most
relaxed
non-competitive person i have no competitiveness left in my body well i've only
known you for what four
years or something like that in those years i could not imagine you having evil
thoughts no towards
someone you seem so chill i was a talker were you really oh yeah i i i remember
i was surfing against
this guy damien hardman and and he was like an australian world champion he was
like an older
generation we were from the young like new school generation we were coming up
and there's these
established guys who didn't want to you know like be dethroned and there was
this guy damien hardman who
was a badass competitive surfer but he was a very like tactician conservative
you never fall
he seemed like a nerd to me you know what i mean i was like this raw kid from
hawaii and this guy was
like so presentable and professional and i just like resented it and i was in a
heat with him and he
got priority which means that he had first right of wave and i just needed a
tiny little score to win
and he basically sat on me which means he uses he used his priority to chase me
around the lineup and
sit on me and keep me from getting a wave and let the time run out and the
whole time i was like you
surf like a girl you you surf like a little bitch like i was like totally
talking him and um did it
work did he get you he got me because he wrote the time i i i i basically
cracked and started like
getting emotional and he loved it he went i got this guy beat he started to
talk me he loved that i
any any he actually came up to me later and goes i love it that you're that
passionate i love it that you
got that psyched and that emotional where you just started like trying to like
insult me he's like
that's my goal when i'm in heats with people is to get them to that point you
know it must like
that's that's good there's got to be a lot of parallels the fight world right
huge yeah well it's
also when when you can get someone emotional then they're fighting in
particular is so dangerous and so
when you lose you're not just losing like someone's taking a piece of you you
know because they're
fucking you up they're not it's not just beating you on points i mean they are
beating you on points
sometimes but they're punching you in the face to beat you on those points you
know they're kicking
you in the body they're fucking your legs up there's there's something about
that that's
so intensely emotional so when you're fighting if you're fighting at your best
you have to be in like
this sort of flow state this sort of zen not thinking about anything but what's
happening and
reacting and just going on your training and your instincts and if you can get
a guy to be angry and
emotional it will severely impair for most fighters severely impair your
ability to perform most fighters
they lose they get tense they tighten up they look to wind up instead of just
letting things flow
we're talking about this guy style bender who fought this weekend that guy
flows like when you watch
him fight he just flows i mean he walks into the octagon dancin
