THE CHANNEL OF BONES // hard to believe it’d been a full year since our last adventure across the Kaiwi channel. Felt so wild to be back on board, bobbing in the brine, and shouting on my other mother brother. Even more surreal to think that @kenny_kaneko and I used to dream about trips like these as groms… That’s the real “time flies” feeling. And while we spend most of our time in distant time zones, there’s really nothing quite like linking up to push a few limits, snap a few visions, and shepeard sea-soaked stoke with someone you’ve grown up with. Congrats, Kenny, on completing another Molokai to Oahu mission like only so few can do. 9 down—and a 10th already on the horizion. Big love to the young buck @kaisei__0119 for a stellar showing. At just 16 years old, safe to say he’s doing what our former selves would’ve simply laughed at… The future is bright. The fun comes full circle. So does the gratitude. A hui hou, Hawaii ♥️

Into the universe // @hendrix_frankenreiter absolutely ruling Redondo at this year’s @beachlifefestival ♥️ honored as always to lend lens and witness this young buck come into his own. Watch the thrown… 👀👑

Tumbleweeds & Chewing Gum 🌵 nothin’ like a little two-steppin’ thru the midwest with the very best to slap a smile on the dial. Congrats on the dreamy new single @lilymeola , she’s a beaut!

dreamy evenings on repeat // slow your roll

gone fishin 🎣 nothin’ like a new sled to awaken that inner grom. truth is… I’ve had my eye on this beauty for a miiiiiiiinute… everytime i’d pop into @hsssurf to grab a coffee and talk story, my eyes (and hands) would wander ///// another gorgeous @jeffdoclausch @surfprescriptions added to the quiver and lurking in a lineup near you // then again… maybe no where near you at some magic mysto with just me, myself, I… and a pelican passerby. big thug hugs to @mpesce @speederreeder for the alley-oop and stack of wax.

when the divine aligns // hard to put into words just how much joy was juiced in just a few days. all thanks to surfing and it’s infinite interconnectedness. pretty wild what bobbing around in the brine can actually do… such a simple (often silly, selfish) act, but somehow it simultaneously serves as the glue that bonds friends to the fountain of youth, turns heroes into homies, and—whether you ride a board, click cameras, or a push a pen—expands the perception of what is possible. this last week has been a perfect reminder of that power: warm water, less crowds, fun waves, and… two of surfing’s most gifted and dedicated storytellers @thomascampbellart and @taylorsteele pulling together their respective real world magic with the debut of YI-WO and the @solentosurffestival . The former being an avant-garde, analog adventure 11 years in the making and latter serving as surfing’s present-day, big screen dream springboard. So grateful to have gotten to play temporary local and enjoy both events in the best of company. Literally camping out to nerd out. So many friends, mentors, and influences in the same places at the same times, all soundtracked by a continuous chorus of laughs, hoots, yews and cheeeeeehoos. voice? torched. shoulders? dead. brain? buzzing. heart? full. I need a nap, an exotic surf trip and a rewind button to do that all over again.

beers & buddies // a few film favorites from a scenic summer strike 🌲

and all the things in between

ONE BUMP AT A TIME: Molokai to Oahu—a handful (of many) visions from a whirlwind weekend to link with my other mother brother, @kenny_kaneko , for his 15th Kaiwi channel crossing. Beyond witnessing a baffling display of human skill & will from some of the best in the business, this event provides such a unique look at ocean culture. Ironically, as surfers we feel like we’re always the experts on Mother Nature… a bit laughable considering so often our narrow perspective of surfing is limited to very thin, most tame, often crowded strips of modern coastline and shallow water. So refreshing—and eye opening—to see raw, open ocean in motion with waterpeople of all walks surfing endless waves. 32 miles of 5-7ft swell with 25mph trade winds, and the guy adds another notch in his badass paddling belt in 3hrs 45mins. But best of all, experiences like these extend far beyond stats and standings. The race alone is a sight to behold, but it always comes back to the people, the culture, and the energy—the Mana—as they say. It takes a vibrant village to make this corner of the world work, and I’m humbled and honored to be amongst it from time to time. Endless respect and gratitude for the mayhem and the magic. Huge, well deserved congrats to Kenny, Kaise & co, THANK YOU for having me—and to Uncle Noah & the Beer ohana for the help and hospitality. A hui hou, Hawaii.
