Written by bassist Jeff Ament, the clip features footage of Hawaiian surf legend Jock Sutherland, who was winning regional surf championships in the mid-1960s before the age of 20 and whose impact on the sport as one of the first tube riding superstars of the shortboard era led to the famed “Jocko’s” break on Oahu’s North Shore being named after him.
Now in his mid-70s, Sutherland still surfs and was inducted into the Hawai'i Waterman Hall of Fame in 2022.
