MICK FREE SURF IN BRASIL

THIS SHOT IS OF MICK ON THE NORTH SHORE. WE GOT SOME FOOTAGE OF MICK RIDING ONE OF THE BOARDS WE MADE IN BRASIL. HE SURFED ON HIS DARREN’S IN THE EVENT. HE AND DARREN HAVE HAD A LONG TIME RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS BOARDS. I’M JUST HAPPY THAT I’M FORTUNATE TO BE BUILDING HIM A FEW BOARDS.

MICK WORLD CHAMP!


THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO THE FACTORY AND HEARD THAT MICK HAD WON THE WORLD TITLE! I WAS SO STOKED AND HAPPY FOR HIM! I KNOW THAT HE WORKED HARD AND WAS REALLY FOCUSED ALL YEAR. HE DESERVED TO BE CHAMP AND IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A NICER PERSON! I WOULD SAY THAT HE IS ONE OF THE NICEST, HUMBLE, CONSIDERATE PEOPLE I KNOW. EVEN BEING AS TALENTED AND FAMOUS HE IS STILL DOWN TO EARTH. HE ONCE TOLD ME GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. HE MUST BE VERY GOOD!!!

SURF

IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TO GET SOME SURF IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITIONS. IN HAWAII WE DON’T HAVE MANY WAVES LIKE THIS BEACH BREAK AND IT HELPED ME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SHORT BOARDS. NEXT YEAR WE WILL DEFINITELY BE IMPROVING ON BOARDS FOR THIS TYPE OF SURF. TRAVELING IS A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE PLACE, PEOPLE , CULTURE AND SURF.
