HSA event #4

so we had a HSA event at Rennicks this past weekend and i did alright...2nd i lost to kaito who was busting his usual air reverses . i came close, one judge giving me a 15.50 out of 20. only losing to kaito by half a point (16.00). the waves were pretty sick, like 2-3 but it seemed like everywhere but rennicks was catching the swell. Cole got 3rd and E.J. got 4th. now i think im in first for the ratings in jr. mens and i really want to keep this lead for the rest of the year (E.j. is in second now)

i didnt get to do open mens this time because i wasnt even sure if i wanted to do the contest. i had not surfed ing 2 weeks and i was kind of off my game, but i pulled it off kinda :]

hahaha i have a english project that im super behind in and so thats what im going to be focusing on during my furlough fridays, unfortunately.

Halloween is coming up...any ideas?

almost a month

this past month so far has been a lot of skating and a little bit of surfing. basically the break was all skating 2 days of surfing. we adventured to kaneohe once but stuck to crane and a'ala park for the skate side of the coin. i surfed some epic kaisers.

pictures up later.

sick...

ugh! so im sick, this sucks because fall break is coming up in a week, and i dont want to be sick for that!

classes are almost out for the first quarter and im trying to finish up any kind of work i can. trying to get the highest possible grades i can. im at 97% in trig/pre-calc!!! thats the only class im sure im getting an A in so yah, im proud. what of it?! hahaha i joke i joke. but not really.

sunday sand bar

surfed north with dane and alex. we surfed left-overs then ehukai-pupukea. there were some fun waves, just little drainers. Kaz showed up and we filmed for his webisode series NovusSwell.

HSA #3

so today was the third event of the HSA series, and it was at queens. i got 4th in open mens and jr mens. i should have done way better in open mens but the judges didnt see my other two waves. just one of them, so i had basically no fight chance at winning...

but all in all, it was a fun day at the beach.

finally i surfed...

so, i finally surfed yesterday. i havent surfed since saturday because i have no motivation to surf anymore, but i have a contest on saturday and so i need to get my balls straight and in the right place. i had fun, the waves werent the best but still fun.

my friend nathan finally surfed after like 2 months of a disappearance, i think he gave up on surfing because he broke his wrist around the same time i fractured mine.

okay so my foot is super sore and swollen, so surfing hurts. but im hoping today i get to surf good waves without the pain.

contest tomorrow! wish me luck :]

sandy six

the sandy six is a huge, i mean HUGE, six stairs at ala moana beach park. its super crazy...like i was scared to do it but i tried. akoni tried. kaimana tried. nick, terrance (terr bear), and troy fagged out. hahahaha. if i did think about things i wouldnt have done it, but i dont so i did. eventually we gave up just sitting around, so we went to the "3 flat 3 flat 3 flat 3" its pretty much exactly what the name is. 3 stairs short flat, another 3 stairs, another flat, then another 3 stairs, and a flat, and finally another 3 stairs. we skated it for a little till the janitor kicked us off the property. so it was off to ross/sport's authority.

i finally found a black V-neck shirt...its pretty hard to find. so akoni and i got them. we were just walking around and around looking for nothing, but anything. its quite fun, like window shopping. then at sport's authority they like changed everything up. its soooo much better now, they have everything out. and it seems super awesome. hahahaha yah then we chilled at in4mation, recently renovated into a chill spot/store. then home for some grub :D

i think im gonna start...

blogging from my travel industry class. its the only time im at a computer and i have nothing else to do but this. so i might as well do it.

the weekend was pretty epic.

Friday: was skate from like 4-12pm and we were just maama jamming it, so it was akoni, kaimana, and i just skating crane park on the little black rail that we have. then we decided it was getting boring and so we went to look for a couple spots to hit up...we started skating down kapahulu, found a pretty sick wall thing to gap onto a large step that lead to a bench then the sidewalk. then we found a wall by the bank of hawaii, which was like a 4-almost 5ft drop from the parking lot, and we do that. then headed to taco bell for some grub. skated to paki and then hit up jefferson elem. school. caught the bus through waikiki then went to washington middle school and skated the 3 and 4 stairs. i tried to lip the handrail but it was a horrible fail. everybody left and i ended up just skating this random park by myself.

saturday: went to north shore because we thought the waves were going to be pretty epic, which they werent!!!!! it was flat, and we surfed ehukai finless best part of north shore that day. then we surfed gas chambers which was pretty hallow, but there were a bunch of little girls regulating, and im not going to fight for a tiny wave from a tiny girl. so we dug out. went to the pali. there is this 45ft rock cliff and a pond/stream at the bottom and a mini waterfall. we were all jumping the rock which was like a 3 second free fall, which is super crazy if you have ever been in a free fall. craziest adrenaline rush, right next to base jumping. but yah, we filmed a funny video called the pali prowler, which is about a insane murder...well just look for it on youtube soon. you'll see what its about.

sunday: was my chill day. just laundry, watch football, watch the dew tour. and sleep :] what a wonderful way to end an epic weekend.

sorry, its been a while...

so i have been getting really busy lately. i have had surfing and skating on my platter, and school on my mind, all the time. im trying not to fail in my AP english class, but im not doing so well, as of right now im getting like 35% but with this newscast project we are doing, its most definately going to come up.

surf has been pretty good lately, like 2-3, up and down, but over all uncrowded fun :] i had a contest last weekend at Queens Beach, called "Come Surf with the King" and i got 3rd, losing to cole and kaito...again! im getting tired of losing to these youngens, and i always feel like i can never get a second good score, its like fighting with one hand tied behind your back. so im woking on that. but congrats to those guys. my brothers good friend, Justin, made the final. he got fouth and won a surfboard! so stoked for him. he is supe happy too, because it was the first contest that he actually had to surf to make the final. it wasnt a shoe-in for him.

skating has been petty awesome too. i havent really gotten hurt, except fo yesterday. lately me and my friend akoni have been skating at crane pak, and we have been bringing a rail, which is extreme fun because its waxed perfectly, and also a quarter pipe, and a kicker. its like our own mini skate park minus the crowd. its just all people we know, so its like total domination. yesterday i hurt my foot and now im walking funny. my big toe on my right foot looks like a chode, hehehe jk. but its kinda swollen and little bit bruised. i think its spranged pretty bad, but good enough for me to keep skating and mst importantly walk. i hurt it trying to tail stall shove-it out on the quarter pipe at crane. i got really close, but all my weight landed on that one pat of my foot...hurts but whatevers.

my friend kylen hurt his foot too, but he had to get stitches and he has a hard time walking. but he will be fine in a couple more days, hopefully better the next suf contest on sunday. but yah his was a surfing inscedent. but yah, hope it gets bette buddy!!!!

oh yah, i joined soccer! i decided to join because akoni was joining and it would give me more motivation to keep my grades up...double plus! Zing! hahaha but the coach of the socce team at my school, is one of the coaches for the suf team and the marine science/physics teacher, and i have messed with him so so so much, so i think he is going to get back at me with running and push-ps and sit-ups, etc. this is going to be rough :[ but im going to be super fit for surfing, its going to be geat cross training :]

well, idk when the next time ill do this will be, so till then

adios muchachos!

skating-surfing: wed-thurs

wednesday i went skating at Aala skate park because there was a demo and stephen jonoski and dylan rider were there and they were crazy. they are sooooooooooooooo good, stephen skated so smooth and dylan did the craziest tricks. there were a lot of people there and the crowd was getting kind of ridiculous but akoni, kaimana, kaulana, and i found the back section quite fun. we were just chilling practicing our flat land and the little slope stuff.


thursday, i went surfing at kaisers and it was fun sean, satar, alex, justin, and dane were just chilling in the bowl, taking over as usual. the waves were fun, i landed a bunch of tail wafts. but i cant grab still because of my wrists :[ but this is teaching me how to not rely on the "safety grab" so when my wrists are 100% ill be all over it!

school is very boring, im gonna skate then i have a sample sale to go to with Kaz, then idk maybe hit the streets in waikiki. let me know if you want to chill. hit me up!

lost again...

so on this monday, i find myself pondering, thinking about anything and everything, just analyzing life. i cant help but do it when i have a solitary moment to myself.

i ended up surfing after school, which both of them were gay :[ i havent been statisfied with anything in the last few days. i need something new in my life, i need fun and excitement.

my wrist is getting better, it isnt numb anymore and it isnt super sore. i have feeling in it and i can kind of bend it without the wincing pain.

i just realized i forgot to say check out BAYVI clothing, they are my clothing sponsor and there are some amazing people behind this brand of clothing. they are so supportive in anything i do and Ron (the owner) and Leila (the wife/co-owner) have a kin sense of style for all kinds of different lifestyles. just check the site: bayvi.com there is a blog for the team and whats happening around the BayVI seen. but check it for yourself.

weekend

so this weekend i had a contest at straight outs...sigh, i thought, but then it turns out the waves were really good. tuns out i have a stress fractures in my left wrist and sprained my right wrist. but i decided to surf the contest. i did 2 divisions, open and jr mens. i didnt do so well in either of them but i have a legit reason. but i made the semi finals in my jr mens, had a really gnarly heat with kylen and cole. i ended up groveling for 8 out of the 15 minutes in the heat, trying to push kylen as deep as possible. cole kind of bailed on the plan, but hey what can i say, heat is a heat. i got third, i blew it on the set of the heat on my first turn. kylen and cole both made it to the final (kylen 2nd/cole 4th). my open mens heat was really rough, my makeshift cast kept coming undone and it was dragging me. i was having a really hard time catching waves and ended up getting third in my first heat :[ i came really close to making it but i couldnt get a set, both my waves were just meager insiders so there wasnt much scoring potential. but all in all, it was a really fun day. oh and i got to meet sally fitzgibbons, she is the youngest girl to make the WCT (world championship tour) for surfing...she's a professional hehehehe but she was super cool and seemed like your typical teen, seeing how she is only 17ish, but she has an epic life, travel, surf, and just live life to the fullest.

sunday was my chill day for the week, since the rest of the week is going to be hectic. i just cleaned house and did some shopping.

broken

okay so yesterday was a little crazy, we went to aala and makiki and for the most part i was skating with 4 possible fractures in my left hand and two spranged wrists. sleeping last night was hard, i couldnt find a comfortable position for my hands. so i kept waking up, and as a result this morning i was uper cranky. school was even worse, i was grumpy and both hands/wrists hurt so so so much. on top of that i had everyone asking what i did to my hand, so it was like answer the same question over and over and over again. I was also planning on running for homecoming king but my plans changed due to this hand. instead of going to the meeting this afternoon i went to the doctors to get this dreaded hand checked out. and guess what?! they cant even tell me til at least tomorrow :[ so idk if im going to get a cast or not. lets hope not because that means no surfing and the waterproof casts are super uncomfortable. so im MIA for the next couple of days and i might even have to not do the HSA contest on saturday if they hold it. its such a bummer injurying yourself. but yah at least we have a 3 day weekend!!!!! shootz!


watashi no kouun wo inotte kudasai

wrap up

okay so i ended up skating today because the tide was super fat and i needed a break. i went to aala skatepark and makiki. i messed up my wrist...bummer, both of them :[ i need your sympathy, PLEASE! hahahaha but i need to surf the next couple of days because i have a contest on Saturday...i need to beat kylen!!!!

from school

so this is so boring...im in class blogging :[

economics is a pretty boring class, i havent really learned anything. but its useful and i need the credit.

i have to go to kaimuki library right after school to do a project for english. i am so far behind in english, i have like 10 points out of like 245 already and it ridiculous. I need to learn how not to give up on my work.

ceramics was fun today. i had a clay fight with my friend Akoni. he has the gnarliest collar bones. they like pop out and they are kind of crooked but they are cool. so the story was: someone in another class made a pistol revolver and so we took it shredded it into a bunch of clay chippings and i took my sake shot glass and shredded that. so we had like a shit load of shavings and sawdust that we started throwing at each other. this went on for about 30 minutes without the teacher noticing. he is super clueless. and so i was walking around with clay everywhere til lunch. oh yah we left the mess there...hehehe sorry to who every had to clean it.

now im in an air conditioned room full of computers, supposedly researching the anglo-saxon period. but im doing this.

i think im going to surf after the library if i dont go to the airport to meet a friend.

oh shnap!!! im going to the kaimuki library!!!! that means im going to be by jewel or juice!!!! acai bowl here i come!!!! im seriously addicted to those things and jewel or juice makes like the best ones. im so down to go there anyday so just let me know.

tapa nakada nabaga boonda!

Again with the blogging...

Okay okay so yah this blog thing seems pretty sick, so im going to try and be like kylen and try to keep up with this new age web stuff.

so i moved to the big leagues. i stopped the myspace blogs and i got my own space :]

Today with a wonderful day for anything outdoors. it was just really really really really hot. so instead of skating, which i planned to do, i jumped in the water for an epic session at ze kaiser bowl mang. it was Alex, justin, darian, and kyle...the usual S. Groms (S stands for sh!t) hehehe oh and satar. we had a fins free competition. that means, any trick that involve the fins coming out of the water, airs, throw tails, chop hops, anything, just get those fins out of the water. satar ended up winning with a massive tail whip snap thingy. it was almost an air but not quite. i almost had him with a throw tail off the bowl, but it got super shallow and i bailed on impact.

school has been super hetic. im trying to drop my AP Lit class but my teacher wont let me because im obligated. but im failing and i think i should be able try something easier if the level im at now is too much for me right????

oh yah sorry colby, i was too lazy to bike it down to the park so i just hit up kaisers because of the closeness. colby has been trying to get me to go out and shoot(photoshoot) with him for sometime now. and everytime i flake out. i really have to work on a lot of things. i need to reform myself. starting tomorrow i will do it and keep you posted on it.
