Seeing Success in your Friends...

I knew this kid since he was in kindergarten and even back then he was blowing my mind with how consistent he was at kickflips. Now as I look as this video of Matt you can see he has come a long way from kickflips, now he is shredding crazy....give it up for Matt Chaffin everybody...respect....oh and I apologize for the music...not my choice...

My first original design...The Narwhal...

Two of my good friends are out here from Cali and we have been hanging out pretty much non-stop.  We all work in some shape or form of the surf industry, and since the waves were horrible we decided to go and shape a board.  Ricky Lesser (rickylesser.com) and I went over to the shaping room and got weird.  While in there I decided I was going to morph 3 different boards into one and make it a work of art:) here is the result....

Spelt Narwhal wrong...hahha sorry...and yeah it is a twin fin board, with a single fin box in the middle, so you have options




first of my designs that will hopefully encourage you to buy a board to support a few kids...

Referring back to Feb 3...Relaunch of a Legend

So last night I was invited to go hit up the V_Lounge (verticaljunkies.com) and while we were kicking it outside my friend Vanessa's buddy Pinky Taylor (pinkytaylor.com) showed up.  I just wanna affirm this guy and say Pinky you are a class act and I'm so excited to see your art book coming out....you might know his art from being one of the main designers for ...LOST (lostenterprises.com) and Volcom (volcom.com). Here is quick glimpse of the night:)

Thoughts are in the water...

First off I wanna say I got 2 boards for sale

The blue one is 5'2" x 18" x 2 1/4" and the green one is 6' 6" x 18 1/4" x 2 1/4" both are single concave and fully awesome :)


Second off I am editing up some stuff for BAYVI.com and NOVUSSWELL.com and naturally I am really into what I'm doing so I forgot I had put a pizza in the oven...this was the outcome :/

The Re-launch of a legend...

I have recently decided to start shaping surfboards under my INTER-Act label again...The purpose and goal of these boards have always been to give back to a world that has given me inspiration.

1. All proceeds are donated to 2 causes
- Fahad & Shahadat


Fahad (pictured left) is a young surfer from Bangladesh, who although extremely smart is from a lower caste, Shudras (agriculturists, service providers, and some artisan groups). His brother Shahadat is an entrepreneur even though extremely young (16), two years ago he started selling shells on the beach to tourist. His business has grown so that he now has 2 other street kids working for him.

During my time there both of these brothers impacted me, Fahad with his youthful innocence, Shahadat with his care for people outside of his family. I promised myself that I would help both of these kids break through this "caste" system that holds them down. So with the money from these surfboards I will be sending them to school, getting them a personal tutor, and supporting their hobbies, Fahad loves surfing, Shahadat is an amazing soccer player.

Club: "Wherever We Are!!!"

So the other night was my good friend Cass' birthday. We decided that we would go down to Waikiki and basically have a moving dance party. An even better side to this story is that I got my roommate to pick up a "few" people...18 that is in the back of his truck...here is a peak at what happend...
