Hawaiians Dominate World Contests….

169


good morning. yesterday i was watching 2 contests. the tahara pro in irako to the left, and the rip curl pro in bali to the right. it was a day for the hawaiians in both small shitty beach break waves to epic 100 yard perfect barreling lefts….

dustin cuizon kicked ass, pulled airs, and ripped up the waist high waves to win the tahara pro. check out the shaka….

while bruce irons was half way around the world pulling into 5′ barrels beating fellow hawaiian fred patachia in the final to win the rip curl pro. it’s about time the hawaiians start to get some results. i’m tired of watching kelly slater and the australians winning everything. i hope this is a confidence booster and hope more wins are to come. hawaii needs another world champion…. and so does japan….

gosh how time flies. a big project was in the making about a year ago that i was invited to. it’s coming up next month but i can’t talk about it too much. all i can say is that i will be somewhere in the indian ocean standing in the front of this huge boat holding my surfboard in one arm, my speargun in the other, my camera around my neck, and my a beer in my mouth. it’s called “DREAM SURF TRIP”….. shit, i can’t wait. bon voyage….
**and last, check out CHIAKI’S BLOG for a clip of the fireworks saturday night in chigasaki. pretty sick…
