STAY WILD MAGAZINE: ALOHA DITCHES!

I haven't seen it yet, but, I am honored to be in the fall issue of 

Stay Wild Magazine. This summer I discovered countless skateable ditches while driving around Oahu during my day job. Ditch postings on Instagram like the photos below inspired me to pitch a "Hawaii ditch piece" to Stay Wild.

I got the green light from Stay Wild head honcho (friend and role model) Justin Scrappers Morrison.

So I called up one of my favorite photographers (and friend) Jianca Lazarus and two dedicated and radical skater broz Mike Sidani, and Johnny Noel, and we made a day of it. 

I hadn't skated that hard in 10 years.

I'm stoked that two photos of me made it into the mag. 

Below are a handful of shots from that Day of Ditches that weren't printed.

Thanks Stay Wild Magazine for giving us a great reason to skate and create.

Mahalo and Aloha!

Thank you Mike Sidani, Johnny Noel, Jianca Lazarus, and 

Stay Wild Magazine for the friendship and Ultra Positive Vibes.

Sincerely,
