1987 Astroboyz Surfing Mark Occhilupo PSA Grade 10 Gem Mint None Higher Card #NNO of the 1987 Astroboyz 180 Card set. Marco Jay Luciano "Mark" Occhilupo is an Australian professional surfer and winner of the 1999 ASP World title. Occhilupo was born on 16 June 1966 in Kurnell, New South Wales. He began surfing at the age of nine and won his first amateur schoolboys' contest at 13 and followed up with two Cadet State Titles. In 1984, at age 17, Occhilupo's high performance standards took him to the top of the ASP ratings. At Jeffreys Bay, his powerful and aggressive style were an advantage in backside surfing. Occhilupo hovered around the top five in the rankings, and was becoming popular in the United States when Tom Curren was at the peak of his career. The two were rivals in surfing's biggest spectator event, the Op Pro, which Occhilupo won in 1985 after beating Curren in a three-heat final and again in the 1986 Op. Aspiring to be an actor, Occhilupo played himself in the 1987 Hollywood Cult-Classic, North Shore. This card set was created and released by Herbie Fletcher and the Astroboyz. These cards were distributed mainly in Southern California in sealed 4 card packs and displayed in Surf shops and convenience stores. The entire 180 card set were randomly distributed in these packs throughout these retail locations and came with a few surf stickers in each pack.
