Somehow

DK Wars Maui

Last Friday DK Wars came to Maui somehow.  Christopher Taloa and crew put on an epic event and it was cool to see all the boys ripping it up on the knee at Pakuz.  Maui legends such as Chado, Wizard, Landlord, Pilot, and Evan Kaaihue also showed up and put on a show.  Also, a bunch of groms, locals,   and outer island DKers where ripping for sure.  I participated in the team category, but we somehow lost.  Congrats to team Family Affair for winning the team division and Evan Kaaihue and Cole for winning the individual category.  It was a great day with good times and good vibes.  Below is a DK sequence of me spraying the man himself, Wonton, shot by Dylan Lee.  haha good times :)  Check out http://www.dkwars.com/ for allkines.

Haleakala Sunrise

Yesterday morning Richard Lornie, creator of "Chout" and "Chout The World", and I went to Haleakala to check out the sunrise.  It was a beautiful morning and the sunrise was epic.  If you've never been to Maui before, it's a must to go check out for sure.  Below are some photos from the sunrise shot with my Gopro somehow.  aloha

Las Vegas Vacation

My girlfriend Robin and I went on a mini vacation this past week. We left last Thursday and came back this past Tuesday 1-24-12. We cruised the strip, gambled, watched a Cirque du Soleil(Zummanity) show, went to the Hoover Dam, and cruised The Grand Canyon in the snow somehow. We had a blast and it was nice cruising with Robin in Vegas because it was her first time there and she will be heading to the Navy sometime this year. Our highlight of our trip was watching the Cirque du Soleil performance, but we also had a good time at The Grand Canyon. The visibility was pretty bad at the Canyon, but it was cool to be there while it was snowing. I never had the right kinds of clothing for snowy weather so I was freezing for sure. Anyway, we had an awesome time in Las Vegas and I couldn't be happier spending it with my love for sure :) aloha and mahalo! Here are some photos from our trip.

On the plane, on our way with gopro.

Robin stoked for sure :)

Invert at home

Below is a frame grab of an invert I did at home on January 4, 2012. It was filmed by Shea Sevilla. This was the biggest swell to hit Maui this winter and everyone was on it. My good friend David Phillips https://www.facebook.com/dphils came over from his home island to catch a few waves as well. Shea Sevilla was shooting with Dphils video camera and captured a bunch of sick clips. Everyone was ripping and I was stoked to finally get some big rampy waves. Maui grom, Kahekili Labatte really impressed me by going huge on this day. Let's hope we get more big swells somehow. Thank you everyone for the continuous support. I appreciate it :) aloha and mahalo

Tanner McDaniel visits Maui

12 year old ripper grom Tanner McDaniel from Kauai came to visit Maui this past weekend. He was staying at my place and he had a good time for sure. It was his first time bodyboarding here and he competed in the Paia Beach Fest. He also got to surf some good Kahului Harbor and Honolua Bay which was epic! Tanner ended up placing 1st in the Menehune Division and 2nd in the Juniors. The Paia Beach Fest was a warm up contest for him because he will be back for the USBA regionals which will be held in March. One more thing, I was super stoked to see so much groms ripping this past weekend at the contest. Maui is holding so much potential for sure. I have had so much great memories of competing at the beach fest over the years and I am stoked to see it going strong! Mahalo to all of the staff at Paia and sponsors for keeping this contest going. Aloha :)
