SECRET SPOT

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR SURF ON THE NORTH SHORE. HERE IS A LATE SEASON SWELL IT WAS SOLID 8- 12 FEET AND VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WERE SOME SOLID SECOND REEF BOMBS IN THE MORNING. THIS IS ABOUT 6 AM AND THE EARLY MORNING CREW IS ON EVERY SWELL THAT HITS THE NORTH SHORE. HAVE A SAFE DAY!

SF1

THIS IS ONE OF OUR MODELS SF1 THAT I TESTED THIS MORNING. THE BOARD FELT GREAT AND IT WAS REALLY EASY TO RIDE. THIS IS A GOOD SUMMER TIME WEAPON FOR 1/2 FOOT TO 4 FEET, DEPENDING ON THE SURFER. STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEW DESIGNS. ALOHA

MICK FANNING'S QUIVER

HERE IS YUKINORI ''DA MAN'' PACKING UP 8 OF MICK'S WEAPONS FOR THE EVENT IN CHILE. APPARENTLY THE WAVES THERE ARE VERY POWERFUL AND HOLLOW. A FRIEND OF MINE SAID IT IS SIMILAR TO PIPELINE BUT A LITTLE MORE DANGEROUS! GOOD LUCK TO MICK AND PRAY NO ONE WILL GET HURT. ALOHA

JON MOZO

THIS IS A PICTURE OF JON MOZO AT PIPELINE AS A MEMORIAL. HE PASSED AWAY OUT AT PIPELINE IN 2005. I WAS ACTUALLY SURFING THAT MORNING AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY OUT THERE. I WENT IN AND STRAIGHT TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT TO WORK I HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT JON. MY HEART SANK! I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT MY FRIEND HAD PASSED AWAY AND I WAS JUST THERE!

I REMEMBER JON MOZO GROWING UP SURFING ONE OF MY FAVORITE EAST SIDE SPOTS. I WOULD ALWAYS SEE HIM RIPPING THIS PLACE AND HE WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE OF THE BOYS FROM THE AREA. HE WAS VERY HUMBLE AND QUIET IN THE WATER. I DID SOME WORK WITH JON AND HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GOOD AT WHAT HE DID.

ANYWAY AS YOU MAY KNOW HE HAD BECOME A WELL KNOWN OCEAN PHOTOGRAPHER AND HIS WORK WAS ALL OVER THE ISLANDS AND PROBABLY THE WORLD. PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER HIM BY HIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO'S BUT I WILL REMEMBER HIM AS A HUMBLE, GENEROUS, KIND AND ONE OF THE MOST NICEST HUMAN BEINGS I'VE MET! JON GAVE THE MEANING OF THE ALOHA SPIRIT!

P.S. PLEASE CHECK OUT HIS WEB SITE http://www.jonmozo.com/

IT SAD WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 32 VICTIMS AT VIRGINIA TECH. REMEMBER THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YOUR PRAYERS.
