Today I surfed with my friend Noah at Waikiki beach.
Half way through the session, I look down and see my you know what hangin out of my board shorts. I start crackin' up thinkin' oh no...
There was this pretty Hawaiian girl about 10ft away from me. I wondered if she saw. I wonder how long I was sitting like that.
Now that I think of it she was really quiet and looked a little freaked out.I thought it was the velcro so I made sure it was sealed tight. I catch a wave and see my it hangin.' out again. I'm like ooops! and try to put the velcro back together. I paddle back to the top of the line up only to see my whole package out even worse-full on exposed. I start laughing again like crazy thinkin' oh no! ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahah. I couldn't stop laughing as I realized I had a huge whole at the seem below the velcro section. I must of looked crazy laughing and holding my crotch seam together. An older surfer asked me what was so funny and I told him that there was a huge hole in my board shorts and my dick was hanging out. He laughed a little but was sorry he asked.
I caught a couple more waves legs tight together and my hand on my crotch then called it quits.
I'll never forget that one.

Hosoi Q&A
Two weeks ago I got the chance to interview my teenage role model Christian Hosoi. He is probably one of the biggest influences in my life. It was dope to meet and correspond with him. I was bummed that the editor changed my headline and some of my words in the intro... she changed my headline from LIving in Victory to Christian Christian as well as changed skateboarders to shredders... those were the two main changes that bummed me out. But I called Christian to tell him, and he said it was cool, so I didn't make a big deal about it with the editor. I was just stoked to see it run in the paper. Next time however I will make sure to let an editor know to inform me before he or she makes changes.
Been a long time.
3months since I've posted a blog. Time flys.

Last night had some art in a skate and surf art show held by Fifty Fifty and Oasis Skateboards. Left around 9pm to eat dinner with my lady Marisa.
Today I had a rad day.
drove Marisa to work at 9am.
woke up my bros Luke and Mikey.
tried to motivate them for a North Shore mission to catch waves and skate.
but they wanted to work on art projects.
so, some coffee and "last night"stories and I cruised to NS in my ford station wagon.
Surfed Ehukai Beach Park a wave over from Pipeline. The waves near by are similar, but don't throw as hard and fast so they end up being real fun. Caught some rad ones.
had two beers in the cooler waiting for me.
solo mission.
was tight.
came home.
painted the upper trim of my neighbors bedroom for 45minutes for 30 bucks, dinner and beer.
das dat and now here I am.
Signing off
