Oahu warm up

               Wow Oahu has been amazing!  I came here last week Friday in search for waves to warm up for the Encanto Pro, hang out with some friends, and just enjoy the good times on Oahu.  I stayed with my good friend Alan Lamphere and he and his family always take care of me and I couldn't be more thankful.  Also, Keoni Haina took some really cool photos of our sessions and also did the drive to North Shore and back where we surfed 4 days straight.  The waves were really fun and it was epic to catch up with some old friends and share some waves and laughs.  We were blessed with waves and amazing sunsets.  It was insane!
                 I am leaving for Puerto Rico today and I couldn't be more pumped!  I'll be staying with a bunch of Hawaiians and I'm ready and amped to compete.  Thank you everyone for the support!  Below are some photos of my nice Oahu warm up.  Follow Keoni Haina on his instagram @epiphany_keoni Also, thank you to my sponsors The No.6 Bodyboards, The Foam Company, NVCTA, Dasecret Sauce, Reeflex Wetsuits, and SURGE Wax.  Mahalo and Aloha!  Life is good!

Maui. No place like home!

            This is the longest I have ever cruises at home in 5 years somehow, but it's a nice change and I love being home.  There hasn't been an IBA contest in awhile so I took advantage of that and stayed home and soaked up all of Maui zones for sure with my family and friends.  I've been going on hikes, enjoying waterfalls, salt water pools, good food, doing lots of fitness, eating shrimp, drinking coffee, doing allkines and enjoying allkines!  Maui is my home and it's where my heart is!  
             I will be leaving tomorrow till the end of the month on some cute trips and I'm excited to start traveling again!  Below are just some of Mauis magical zones.  Enjoy the photos and I hope everyone has been having good times!  Life is good :)
