Age:23 Hometown:Waianae, Hawaii Sponsors:Eighty Four, Hurley Years skateboarding:14 Travel: Outter islands, Canada, California, The Pacific Northwest, Minnesota, but there's no place like home! First skateboard:I think my parents bought me my first board for Christmas, can't remember what it was. I was just stoked to learn how to ride the thing. Fav spots:My favorite place right now is the North Shore. From Cholo's bowl, Banzai skatepark, to Graveside. It's a rad place. Experiences:I think the best experiences I've had skateboarding is meeting good people who have become some of my best friends. Fav skateboarder:Dan Drehobl, he's just a grumpy ol' man doing his thing on a skateboard. Thoughts on the Hawaii scene?Hawaii is a very diverse scene that seems to be growing more and more. I like to see how the different generations evolve and interact with the some of the original crews. Food:My lady's curry and rice! Music:It always changes but right now it's Johnny Cash Other interest: For some reason I like to build random crap. I just built a pots and pans holder for our apartment. Sure does clean up the cabinet space. Inspiration:This would be a long list if I could name everyone. Definitely Gaskell, Davis, Troy, Bremner, Rod. Kyle, Brian, Billy, all the 808 Tattoo guys. Of course the Familia Amor Crew, Sancho! Chun, Marshy boy. A lot of my peers that have made the move to California are inspiring me up here, Dyson, Santiago, Braxton. Any lastwords: see above
