On Saturday, May 5th, 2012 a gathering of fine individuals came together to play in the sun and shorebreak. A plethora of handplanes littered the beach and everyone was smiling and having fun. The video is a short view into what went down and some of the reasons why bodysurfing is so stoke heavy.

RIP MCA.

Decent editing of cutty city street footage and a solid beat basically makes any clip thought provoking.

Felipe Loureiro of Team Nytro sporting the Matuse Superfrog Dojo Tri Suit during the Spring Sprint Trialthlon in Mission Bay on May 6th, 2012. Felipe finished 5th overall. Big ups to the entire Nytro team for using our Superfrog Dojo Tri Suit.

Love and other drugs.

Gotta love that HOVA beat drop.

Big fans of point-of-view-porn. Obviously.

So what does a Hawaiian born North Shore local do as summer hits Hawaii? Head to Alaska of course. Michael Kew phoned Daniel and he was in for the trip. Scott Dickerson of Surf Alaska provided the boat and logistics to score the best waves. Kew said, “Water temp was 37, didn’t see another human for the 10 days we were aboard the boat, waves were pretty small but fun and clean, and emtpy. Being a Hawaiian, DJ seemed to have zero problem adjusting to the frigid water temps, but it’s obvious that his Matuse gear played the major part in that.” Look for a future article from their trip.

Worst fight scene ever. But the guy from Cobra Kai looks like a real-life version of the puppet, Gary, in Team America.
