Back Home and ZINKA till 2010!!

The day before I left to come back to Cali I got to stay with my friend Nick Seymore in town. We got some really fun waves at Makapu. It was my first time surfing there and there were tons of good local guys killing it. My friend Justin got a bunch of water shots that day and sent me some.

The day after I got home to Cali I knew there was gonna be some fun south swell and I headed to Wedge. It was such a blast! I surfed from 7am-2:30pm straight with only a 15 minute break to catch up with Alternative Surf owner Ron Ziebell. It was so cool seeing him there and catching him up on all the stuff that happened on my trip.
Carlos and Matt Byzak were taking some water shots, and matt sent me one of them.

I think this was Matts first time using his housing and all I can say is he is a natural

The next day I got to get some lunch with one of the men who had a huge influence on my life, Mr. Twal. He is to this day my favorite teacher I have ever had and taught me so much. He inspired me to do my best always and to go after my dreams. He also showed me that anything is possible by pushing me in school and making me earn my grades and getting a 4.00 gpa! Twal is such a legend and everytime I hang out or catch up with him I am literally try to be a sponge by learning from him and take all his advice. He is blessed with a super rad wife and will be having a new baby in the next week! Big BIG congrats to the TWAL family!!!

The cool thing about Dads is that they tell you things straight! When I got my luggage at the airport and my parents and I were walking to the car talking and my dad said that my hair looked horrible and that I had to get a haircut right away so I listened to my dad and cut the mop down.

I dont think anyone likes new haircuts but hanging out with my really funny aunt nancy makes it that much sweeter!

When I go on trips I usually wind up sleeping on couches, grounds, just anywhere I can. In hawaii I had a little pad brent let me use for the ground and then got promoted to a bed at the end of my trip. I always go and see my chiropractor to get re-aligned. Everyone there is super nice and they always have the newest Sports Illustrated magazines which is rad

My back feels 100x better after getting re adjusted! Thanks!

Since I have been home I have been surfing everyday and usually twice! I even got a super fun day at creek with Phil Harnsberger which was super fun. Already thinking of the USBA contest that will be there in May! Along with many tennis matches at night and working at Alternative Surf the loads. Its been so rad to catch up with so many friends! I can't wait for some more swell. I also got to babysit my niece Cassia with my parents! She is sooo sooo funny!

I also signed a two year deal with Zinka which I am really looking forward too! Everyone there is so nice and super cool. They have amazing product and some really wild sunscreen colors! My manager Russ created a great plan for both them and I which should be sweet!
