LIFE

So things are tough at times... sometimes its all not so clear but we must remind ourselves on the constant that it is LIFE and Family that matter most...

Spend that extra moment to say hello, or just be nice......
My good friend Isaac and long time DWF team member for LIFE had some lung surgery...
Issac Keeping it Surfy:


SO HEAVY... here are some shots of the brohog handling what needs to happen...
Thank God for good doctors... It s the little things that make all the tough stuff worth while...
Glad my friend made it through and got the problem in time and on the road to recovery... So stoked...

Here is a shot from last nite.. My friend Sterling invited me over for a well needed surf at San Onofre..
So stoked to hang out with friends.. I needed that positive energy and mix up my routine..

Hotel rooms and Motor Inns

Finding myself in shady hotel rooms..
photo shoots are done right when ur in sketchy situations.. hahah..
the more abstract the better for fashion... sometimes the hotel life is just one many don't know about... It's tough, its great when you get new sheets...

Skateboarding Makes Me Happy!

If you know me, i dont get hyped on new clothes.. i wear the same clothes and only own a few pairs of jeans and shorts/trunks.
BUT....
This smiley shirt gets me HYPED!! Went down to Sector 9 yesturday and got some new wheels and a few accessories that i needed..
Thanks team for the support and help!!! Still skating.. YEAH new wheels... and a smiley shirt!! haha

Lowers

New project for Surfline starting tomorrow..
I'm shooting everyday the same time for a month in the same location...
should be a good time and fun experiment.. I have always wanted to do this and now im gettin paid!
hahah.. stoked.. thanks for the work!!!
