Volcom Pipe Pro - are dogs smarter than people? - kids volunteering - the best idea ever!

Yesterday i went to Pipe for the 1st day of Volcom Pipe Pro.

The waves were pretty good in the morning but the wind switched and had to stop the contest for an hour or so before it resumed.

it's always interesting to see people who are there to watch the contest. i've done this so many times and i'm at the beach all the time so i stay in the shades as much as possible.

i think the dog was smarter than it's owners here. the dog chilled in the shades (bottom right) while i saw the owners (the guy in green trunks and the girl) get sunburn. ha ha.

i used to work for these contests all the time. i think some people behind the scene don't get enough credits. these guys work over 12 hours a day days before, during and after the contest.

you know no one will try to mess with these guys. Spam and Kimo are the perfect security guys during the event. ha ha.

Saw some kids who are home schooled checking out the event too. (Kirra Seale, her mom, friend, Ryan Shanley)

If you go check out the contest, make sure buy some Pipe Pro stuff! Not only they are limited and cool but Sunset Elementary gets some money per sale.

These girls were volunteering their time to help out all day.

Good job girls! i ended up spending so much money there... these girls are good sales people. ha ha.

Check out what Yasuo (Mahina Maeda's dad) showed me. It must be the coolest trick for shooting surfing! thanks Yasuo!

I can see the screen super clear even in the sun and i can use it to keep my beer nice and cold after. ha ha.

They held the day 2 today but i had things i need to do in town so i couldn't go but i heard the waves were really good!

One of things i had to do today was to meet up with Vitamin Water.

They've been helping me out so groms can stay hydrated when we are at the beach.

Their new favor Stur-D is pretty good. Lot of kids are liking the flavor and it got lot of vitamins and calcium in it with electrolyte to get you hydrated fast.

Thanks Vitamin Water for helping me out!
