      Dude great content, dude can you please make your videos longer, dude if you made your videos 25 minutes or 30 minutes people will still watch a man and will appreciate so much more that we get so much for that. Hawaii because I plan on visiting there one day and it's nice to get the lay of the land and just see what the North Shore scene is all about how epic the waves are. Thanks for sharing all the good stuff man. Happy surfing from Virginia Beach! :-)

      Keep your head up man, you could definitely win one of the Pipe contests next time easily. Just bad luck that last heart. Try and find a way to channel your anxiety before you paddle out next contest. Emotions can make or break you. you seemed super angry the way you cut the vlog after the interference and you just seemed super anxious, excited and nervous all bottled up. Before the contest. I mean day two you were singing Moana. Your a great pipe surfer and your fans would love to see you win pipe masters or Volcom pipe pro so keep charging. Win or loose just think of being out at pipe with only a few guys in your Heat and have fun.

    I paddled out, got smashed by 3 set waves
    Got dragged down the beach and got smashed by more set waves
    My leash broke, I lost my board
    I then came in and sat on the beach
    Then I went home

    I took my nephew camping for a week so I bought a box of Caprisun for him. Hadn't had one since I was a grom and it tasted different. Read the box and they took out most of the sugar and loaded up the Stevia. Not a fan of the updated recipe.

Pretty powerful...and you get to bring your girlfriend to work (bonus!!). 🌴🍀✈️🌎🏄🏿 Your surfing was great...waves were difficult this year.

Tried to learn surfing at sunset or pipe on a short board (which was retarded I know) and had the ass of my board shorts ripped off from being drug across coral taking one on the head. Looked like I had on ass less chaps. Keep up the videos, you're living the dream. Stay genuine and be safe brother.
