Today was the release day of FITTED's Surf Pac, Nelson Ahina, Ezekiel Lau, and Keanu Asing's hats.
i took Zeke down there to show support and check out how things are going to be.
FITTED opens at 11am, we got there at 10:40am and this is what we saw!!
30+ people waiting in line to get their hands on the super limited hats!Zeke was helping out letting few people in the store at a time to avoid chaos.
Nelson showed up to support too!
How cool is that! you show up to buy hats designed by FITTED riders and they are there greeting and helping you.
Keanu is in Cali right now for a contest but if he was in Hawaii, i know he'd been there too!
I was impressed how everyone was waiting outside until they were called in. i'd been running in the store demanding my hats! ha ha.
see how nice and calm inside and people waiting outside not complaining?
it was little sad to see a person wanting certain size hat and that size being sold out tho. but hey, they should've been there earlier! ha ha.

Kewalos local Travis and Charlie showed up and waited in line and Travis got the last Zeke's hat!
Zeke's hat was sold out around 11:35am and there were only couple of Nelson and Keanu's hats left!
It was such a great experience to be there. A business supporting Hawaii's young surfers and BECAUSE of that, people lined up to buy their products.

the kids (Zeke, Nelson, and Keanu) won because they got great exposures and learned how these hats are designed.
Customers got to get their hands on limited edition hats designed by future surfing world champs. (yes, i really think these kids can become champs, they are that good and they are all good kids.)
FITTED made money (as any business' goal) supporting their riders.
everybody won today. so stoked for everyone!
thanks FITTED for supporting young Hawaiian surfers and giving them opportunities not many can experience!
Remember Brady Oshiro? THE wedding photographer i talked about last week. He was at kewalos testing out his new equipment while i was out shooting Nick Mita and sent me this photo.
i guess years of swimming and playing water polo is paying off. i didn't even know i come out of the water that high. i'm behind the wave so i bet my butt was out of the water on this one.
Thanks Brady for sending me the photo. i love it because i look skinny and the photo makes me look like i'm in shape! I look good! ha ha.
Had a great day and the weekend is not over yet!
