Sorry guys no post for a while. Not sure if anyone is really reading this site but just in case, here’s the sitch: Just setting up base on the North Shore of Oahu for this winter season. Posted up at my good friend Jamie O Brien’s house for as long as he will have me. I got some great boards, courtesy of Rickland Surfboards (http://www.ricklandsurfboards.com/) Good swell tomorrow coming, hopefully we will score some waves and shots. Aloha and stay tuned

Well things have been hectic lately so i haven’t really been keeping up on my blog like I’m supposed to. SO here’s the recap: rushed off to Bali for a swell that never came, but still got some good waves. Came back and then immediately launched into a Tahiti trip. I scored the best waves of my life with great friends and amazing barrels. BTW this is all possible thanks to Ocean Current for sending me to all of the exotic locations. After getting positively shacked for 2 weeks, I came home looking forward to a rest. Of course, just as I’m settling down, I get the devastating news that my Grandpa in Nebraska is sick so I take off that day with my dad to the Midwest just to learn he passed away while I was in the air. It was a tough time for me but it was great to get out to see my family and shoot guns and do all sorts of other redneck activities. Now I’m home cruising breaking in some new boards courtesy of Rickland Surfboards, and just waiting for a new swell to pop up, anywhere in the world, I don’t care, I’m there. Aloha

AFter chilling on Kauai for a couple weeks its time to hit the road again, this time to Peru. My surfboard shaper Rickland is taking me and its gonna be a great trip. More reports fresh from SOuth America to some. Just want to give a shout out to Ocean Current Clothing for all the support on the trip, Rich for organizing it, and Electric Visual for all the gear. Adios!

After 2 months, 6 days, and 13 hours I am home on Kauai. Oahu is my favorite place in the world but I always get a bit homesick and nothing can compare to Kauai. I have just been hanging out with all of my friends that I haven’t seen in a while and also scoring some great waves right here at home and shooting with Bob Sato, one of the premier videographers in surfing. Another cool development is that I am going on a Rickland Surfboards team trip to Peru which should be amazing! Stoked on life and everyone around me! Life’s looking really good.

Wow I love this place. Waves,chicks, the whole shabang. It’s been a while since I last posted and everything has been crazy, but a good crazy. One day the Eddie almost ran but the waves were not consistent enough so I actually had a chance to paddle out and surf real Waimea. I only caught one wave on my 9’6 but it was most likely the best wave I have ever gotten. I was so scared but somehow that thing came and I got it. Pipeline has been amazing of course, so many good waves and I love it over here but I am getting a little home sick. It seems that when I go home to Kauai its like I’m just visiting and Oahu is my home. I may spend more time over here but Kauai is and always will be my home. It’s so sick over here right now tho because no one is here except a bunch of body boards and they aren’t too much of a problem in the lineup. Nathan Florence  and I paddled out to a random second reef over a mile and a half out and go some  15 ft.bombs by our selves! I have been driving a Cadillac Escalade,  raced my friend on a 50, and stickered up a bunch of new boards. Yup I am pretty much living the life and I am so thankful to be able to do this.

I have been on Oahu for about 3 weeks and I am having a blast. Rich Laudner of Rickland Surfboards came over to shoot me and deliver some boards, magical of course. Pipelines been firing and I am getting barreled left and right. Most of the pros have gone home so its easy to catch waves. Yep, its pretty much magical over here. Living with Jamie is the best thing in the world and I am the luckiest kid alive. Thanks to: Ocean Current, Electric Visual, Dakine, Rickland Surf Boards, Jamie O Brien, and of course my parents. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to live this dream. Thank You for reading my blog and be back soon.
