Time for a change?!?! & My Inspiring Anaheim Crew

So i was working all day on my computer today. Started at 9am and it's 4am now... so tired.

while i was working, i was watching the ISA World Jr Championship online. I think it's time to change they run the event.

It was so irritating to watch Hawaii's Isaiah Moniz's heat. 3 men heat, 2 from USA and Isaiah. 2 USA surfers were blocking Isaiah the whole heat. Isaiah couldn't catch any decent waves.

i know other teams, even Hawaii, use this tactic but it was just really hard to watch. Isaiah's been surfing really good and i know how he surfs on those kind of waves from watching him for years. Isaiah would've advanced if he wasn't blocked the whole heat.

so is this a good way to crown a world jr champ? i know other great surfers went down the same way Isaiah did.

only other sports this happens (that i can think of right now at 4am... ha ha) is NASCAR. it's an "individual" sport but they have teams (different car makers) and often times helping each other out.

i just hope the surfing industry see this and make some changes. all i want is fair game, where the best kid can win.

if i were in the same position, i'd punched them or something. Great job Isaiah for keeping your cool and surfing great at the event. Hawaii's very proud of you!

ok, enough complaining. i want to talk little about my Anaheim crew. I'm amazed how talented my crew at the Anaheim house are.

Bill's an amazing bass player and super talented graphic artist. He's company Nawa Media's been doing great and he got some big name companies seeking him out to do work for them.

Thang's (aka Tom the barber) the man when it comes to haircut. He's the best barber around and i know people drive miles to get their fades from Thang. every time i try to get my haircut from him, there's like 3 hours wait!

and Brian's a genius when it comes to music. He wrote some hits internationally and he's the one who wrote me the Novus Swell intro for me and i only gave him less than a day to write that!

He just wrote a song for True Religion Jeans and it's on their site right now. the craziest part about this song he wrote was that the video was given to him already edited, so he had to write the music to go with the video instead of them editing the video to go with the song.

oh, and he knows so much about music history, politics, and world history. He's going to be my phone lifeline if i ever go on a game show. ha ha.

So they are my Anaheim crew, 3 guys doing what they love and doing great. They inspire me a lot. I need to work harder so i don't look like a doosh bag when i visit and hangout with them.

on going ex duty... ha ha

Got a call this morning from my ex, Christie, cuz her car wasn't working. I went over there to see what's wrong with her car.

I got it running but didn't want her driving it before change some parts so i ended up fixing her moped too so she can go to work.

I guess my car duty keeps going after our relationship... ha ha. i don't really mind tho, it was nice seeing her. looks like she's doing well!

Weekend fun!

I had a great weekend even tho we had Kona wind all weekend and tricky waves. Saturday, I was up in North Shore all day. we surfed our "secret" spot, and played on the shore break at Ehukai Beach in the afternoon.

There were some sand bars so some groms were surfing and some were getting pounded on the shore breaks.

Reef Tsutsui was just leaving when i was getting in the water. looked like he had a great day surfing outside and bodyboarding inside all day!

Seth Moniz showing us how to standup on a boadyboard on a wave breaking on the sand.

Once in a while kids who are surfing outside will connect all the way to the beach. I tried to run up to them to snap some shots.
