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!

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.
