So I've been on Oahu for almost two weeks now and it's been nothing, but good times! Eating good food, hanging out with my good friends, catching up with my old friends from international zones, enjoying some epic waves, hiking, laughing, smiling, having fun, fishing for sharks, seeing allkine rainbows, shooting with my Gopro at Sandys, and enjoying epic moments have been some of the things that I've been doing here on Oahu.
Even though the waves haven't been too good for the Gopro IBA Pipeline comp, my friends Alan Lamphere and Miles Kauhaahaa where ripping their heats. Alan won his first two heats and is now in round 3 when competition resumes. Miles Kauhaahaa won his first DK heat and lost in his quarterfinal heat. You can follow them on their facebook athlete pages at
Alan Lamphere and
Miles Kauhaahaa. Lots of Hawaiians also did really good in the comp as well. Let's hope and stay positive that we can get some okay waves for the comp and the Hawaiians can dominate the zone.
Other than that, it's been epic times here on Oahu! I'm loving life and enjoying my time here. I'll be here till the end of the comp then i'm back home on Maui for sure! I can't wait to get home, but for now I'm going to have fun and enjoy my time here on Oahu zones. Hope everyone is doing great! Life is good :) aloha and mahalo!
