Maui for a couple nights

After my Australia and Bali trip I came home to recharge my batteries and relax with my family and friends.  Whenever I travel I miss home so much and it was the best feeling in the world stepping off of that plane and onto Hawaii soil.  While at home I try to spend as much time with my family and Kolohe, enjoying great times together eating allkines, BBQing allkines, and smiling allkines.  Even though I was home only for a couple of nights, I try to cherrish every moment for sure because I would rather spend a second, minute, hour, or day here at home then not be here at all.  This is where my heart is and will always be.  I am now off the the airport leaving on my 3 month trip to allkine zones.  My first stop is going to be in NJ for the USBA contest next week.  I am amped and ready.  I will be back home sometime in December and it was great to come home even for a couple nights.  Thank you everyone for the support!  aloha!  Life is good!

Australia and Bali

         It's been awhile since I last updated my blogg zone, but a lot has been going on and yes "Life is Good" still for sure for guy hags :)  My last update was photos from a fun surf in Australia that was taken by Mitch Fong.  After that session I've been busy working with Sullyvision for a podcast that will be out in a couple of weeks for TURBO Bodyboards.  I've viewed the final product and I'm stoked how it came out.
         Kingy, Lester, and I did this video shoot for the new TURBO range that will be out very soon.  I'm pretty sure the new range will be out in the next couple weeks as well and let me tell you that this range is the sickest one yet from TURBO.  All of the boards look insane so make sure to get one especially my model zone if you wanna fly to the moon.  I'm just saying.  haha.
         On my last day in Australia.  Glenn Sullivan took me on his ski to do some tow outs which was my first time doing.  Mitch Fong came along as well to take some photos and got some cool ones of me.  The conditions or waves weren't really good for towing out, but we still had a go.  I really want to do some tows in some bigger beachies and fly for sure.  I got it down in like the 3rd try which was good :)  I was super stoked for sure.
        The past 10 days the TURBO crew of Ray Collins, Sam Strachan, Elliot Morales, Glen Sullivan, and I have been in Bali, Indonesia.  We went there not planning on getting swell or anything, but we did get some fun waves.  We also had a great time enjoying the food, bintangs, warm weather, water, smells, stink smells, piglet dog, orphanage groms, and just cruising.  The last day was the best day for surf.  Glen Sullivan was on it and got some good footage that you'll be able to see sometime somehow this year zone.  
        I'm back at home now enjoying family and friend times, but will be gone to another zone soon somehow.  Click "like" on my Fan Page to view more photos from my trips and future trips or just keep  this page as a favorite for my blogg zone updates :) Life is good!!!!!!!!  aloha
