F16

Keanu stopped by couple days ago for me to check out his board he used in New York and Lowers. The F16 has been good to Keanu. He had won some events on this model in the past and it’s great he is getting results now. Reo was giving Keanu a hand with cleaning the wax off his board. Thanks to the Asing Ohana for taking care of Reo! Aloha

Pray for Japan

Aloha
Reo and I went to test some boards for ISA in Peru at Bowls today. It was nice to see #1 local Reid and his wife Yuko in the water. We also saw Kirby who just got back from Japan. He told me how it was and he and his team did a lot of good there. People still need help and please keep the people of Japan in your prayers. Thank you and have great day! Aloha

Jon has pushed me into big wave surfing and i really appreciate all he has done! He has been there through good and bad. Thank you Taba!

Kirby Fukunaga

Hello
Here is Kirby the day before he left for his mission to japan. I’ve known Kirby for a long time. I’ve made him boards in the past and we split the peak at pipe and Backdoor in the mornings. Kirby is a true hero to risk his own safety to help others. He is an inspiration and I’m proud to call him my friend. Please keep him in prayer!
Aloha!
