\nremember this kid i put on my blog over and over? well, i met Garut Widiarta back in 1994 when he was only 6 years old. even before he started surfing, i already knew he was going to be a champion. a relative to bali surf boys Ganti and Bol, we use to play around in the shorebreak at kuta reef and i knew he was going to follow in his cousins footsteps to become a great surfer. when he turned 10 years old, i got him sponsored by TSSC and Dove Wetsuits. i took him his first new board and rash guard and that was the beginning. i watched this kid grow and grow throughout the years. he stayed at my house in hawaii, i took care of him in hawaii, he took care of me in bali. it’s been a pleasure watching Garut go to the top of the top in indonesia.
