Hawaii in March?

// March 4th, 2010 // Uncategorized

Guess what happens when you go to Hawaii for a week in the middle of the snowboard season? You get ZERO clips…

Volcom brought me and a few other team riders over to the Pipe house on the the North Shore of Oahu for five days to shoot a Daily Habit for Fuel TV that will be  featured on Volcom week.

Get on an airplane headed straight to where an alleged Tsunami was going to hit a couple hours before I arrive..

Surfed Pipe..only head high but I’m horrible at surfing…got a wave but also went over and felt reef..Beast

Stayed in the Infamous Gerry Lopez Volcom Pipe House..

Had an amazing chill little dinner at “The Enforcer’s” house (Kai Borg).

Volcom pretty much “owns it” on the North Shore… actually they do own it… so when you go there with them you are instantly in.   I had a Sedat with some cool ass Makaha Locals while watchin dudes get “shacked” on the westside.

Wiamea was hitting

Almost found myself swimming back to shore 10 miles off shore in the middle of the ocean on a deep sea fishing trip gone psycho… 10 to 12 foot seas on a little 20 foot boat. Got rock steadied to say the least.

Finished it off with a North Shore BBQ at Volcom pro surfer Gavin Beschen’s compound with some of his homies, good peeps.

Guess you could say I got the whole North Shore experience.. Worth it? after putting in 10 years on the freezer burnt grind.. Hell yes it was worth it, experience of a lifetime… Thanks V.CO and all at the Proving Grounds!
