Wow, what an insane event. I can’t really put into words how much fun i had surfing and spectating the last few days here at the pipe masters. What a dream come true to surf firing pipeline with only one other guy out. My heat with Gabriel was so fun and such a great learning experience. So grateful for an amazing year and this was the cherry on top ..read more

This was a huge day at pipe! We were sitting in the yard and had seen a few people paddle out and sneak a few waves. When the lineup was empty again we decided to give it a go! It was so much fun surfing with just a few good friends out at firing pipeline ..read more

Well what can we say!? When Mick Fanning calls you and tells you Snapper is going to be firing and to come surf with him and Joel Parkinson, two of your childhood heroes, you get just a little bit excited. We had the most epic session sharing waves with these guys. Some waves were paddle waves and some waves were step offs. My favorite memory was seeing Joel pull into his last wave as I paddled over the shoulder. It was one of the best waves i’ve ever seen in real life and I was screaming at the top of my lungs. We ended the day at the kirra pub drinking beers with all of the boys reminiscing ..read more

Here’s one session i had in hawaii riding the new CI Bonzer 3D model. It’s a really fast little board that you can surf in a unique way. You can really ride the board forward and get a ton of speed but then step back and turn it on a dime. It is really smooth feeling as well ..read more

The first year we started youngwisetails we made “The adventures of the young wise tails.” Perry edited a few classic videos with parker and I throughout a few different trips. We were traveling together a ton at the time and we would laugh our asses off and surf a ton. We were watching this when we first got over to hawaii this year and we got psyched to start doing some more similar style videos. Ryan is working on a current Hawaii episode, but in the mean time we wanted to throw it back to this video. Us hanging in Hawaii, Reef girls, and pumping Pipeline. Are you kidding? We were pigs roll ..read more

Fired up the 6’8″ CI today and surfed some solid Sunset Beach in Round 3 of the Sunset Pro. There were a few good waves, but a lot of wash throughs! I didn’t have a great heat but got a few mid range scores and got through. Super stoked to have Parker caddying for me and Mr. Ryan Perry here hanging!!! It might be finals day tomorrow!!

I’m super excited about working with the James Brand. James is a brand originated by a legendary group of people from Oregon/CA focusing on making killer knives and owning the every day accessories of our pockets. I’ve carried knives for a long time and just found them super useful in my day to day life in and out of surfing. The idea behind James is to explore all of the other elements of our lives besides what we are “known” for. Obviously i love surfing and i spend a ton of time doing that, but outside of that i love family time, fishing, music, and cooking. Among other things. Before I hea ..read more

It’s been so fun to be back hanging on the north shore! It’s pretty wild to think that i’ve been over here every season since i was 12 years old! The waves haven’t been epic north shore conditions, but there’s been plenty of surf every day! Here are a few photos from a session out front by Ryan Miller and Trevor Moran ..read more
