Underdog Day

238

even thought the weather isn’t the best, it’s still pretty dam good. good enough to take a late evening cruise with some friends.

ice cold beer can’t be beat.

we ended up staying out until the stars twinkled.

meeting new people is cool. different people from different parts of life. but we all have one thing in common, which is to have fun!

ok, if you were watching yesterday’s contest, you would have witnessed one of the biggest comeback and upset in Pipeline history. Jamie O’Brian won so many contests at Pipeline. he looked unbeatable especially after getting the perfect 10 point ride. but Joshua Moniz pulled it off in the last minutes. so yes, the underdog won!

nobody likes to lose. and to lose to a kid must hurt. that’s why i quit competing. haha. i’m sure Jamie will have some sleepless nights for the rest of his life. thanks to Joshua Moniz.

good to see all the pros and legends paddling to to congratulate Joshua.

Water Patrol Kaiborg escorting the winner to the beach.

nobody could wait to congratulate the champion. even i couldn’t wait. haha.

i was drenched with salt water and beer. but who cares. i dreamt about this day and nothing else mattered!

good to see Kelia back in Hawaii to congratulate her younger brother.

Joshua Moniz will now join the list of Volcom Pro Champions such as Kelly Slater, John John Florence, Jamie O’Brien, and more….

if i didn’t drive down and see what i saw in person, i would have regretted it for the rest of my life. this will go down as one of the Top 10 moments in my entire life! and the good thing about it is, more of these kind of moments will happen…
