If anyone has been able to escape the craziness of the last few weeks (see: U.S. capitol & racist jerks), you might have noticed that there was a bit of a cat fight at Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore between two insanely talented surfer girls. Local Pipe charger Moana Wong took off deep on a […]
Summer-like conditions are suddenly taking over SoCal—February is famous for that. But don’t worry! It will go right back to being chilly and, despite the warm sun, the water temp is still hanging out in the 56-58 degree range. In between spouts of manic weather, let’s talk ‘kini season, shall we? California’s quarantine madness can’t […]
I have changed over the years. And this year is no exception, if not the biggest year for some growth and I couldn’t be more grateful. Cleaning and reorganizing always feels good, but sometimes from the proverbial dust, you dig up certain memories that you completely forgot about and have lingered in your boxes and […]
As part of my day job, I often have the privilege to work with really talented people and students. One of these students just happens to be a super talented videographer and has quite the YouTube and Instagram following. Recently, undergrad student Celina Bahandari created a video as part of a project for Panasonic and […]
I saw the news first (& ironically) on Instagram from friend’s posts… “RIP Surfer Mag” What? No. No way. My heart sank and I immediate pulled a few issues I had saved out of my archives.

I confess: Over the past several weeks, I’ve been surfing. What was a few times has now returned to my routine. It had been over two months since I got in the water and the first time back felt weird. It felt wrong and odd, I felt like some kind of social recluse committing a […]
With some beaches slowly opening, the crowd is anything but slow to get to the sand and salt water. A good thing or a bad thing? If I’m coughing 5-to-10 days from now, ask me how I’m feeling. Despite shameless “quarantine 15” snack guilt, I recently trekked to the beach to partake in some of […]
Quarantine getting you down? Grab a coconut (with some disposable gloves and a mask!) at your local market and take out that pent up aggression! Bonus points for eating a healthy snack. :) I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts! And I don’t know how to get into them–I often hear something like this when […]
For past several months, COVID-19 has spread across the nation and the world as a serious infectious virus killing thousands in its path. The virus has caused not only an economic recession on a global scale, but also major closures of all kinds—including business, entertainment, events, restaurants and now—parks and beaches. The adult in me […]
