Our roommate/Dog, Kobi, has taken to shaping boards himself. Here's one of his latest board designs. He likes a wider board with a notched nose. He set this board up with jelly wheels and loose trucks for that "urban Cruizing" feel.
On a recent trip to Maui I became aware of a huge threat to Honolua Bay, one of the island's most beautiful spots and a legendary break. Developers are chomping at the bit to turn this pristine unspoiled area into another cliff covered by condos and golf courses.
I went to check it out for myself and ended up kind of saving the day by protecting Honolua Bay from this hideous skim board that was carelessly, or should I say cunningly, placed in the bushes, leaching formaldehyde, sick graphics, and other VOC's (volatile organic compounds) into the side of the cliff.
While you may be unable to play such a heroic role in the defense of this untainted land, you can learn more about the bay and contribute to the cause by visiting the Save Honolua Coalition's website. Think of it as an investment in your future. If you ever visit Maui you will want to surf here!
We finally did it!! It wasn't easy, but we finally won our first contest with help from yellow sticker brand as well as green-cursive-writing-shirts and black wave sticker brand! Talk about STOKED!!!!!! Fu@% Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! WE Rule!
