Local Motion "surf into summer" kicks starts the summer with a great surf event. Enjoy the video by Novus Swell.

HSA State Championships

Aloha,
If you didn't know Devin and Nicole surfed in the HSA State Championships at Ala Moana Bowls this past week.The conditions at Bowls couldn't have been any better... 2 -3 feet with occasional 4 footer rolling through.

Nicole surfed in the Girls 12-13 division. She surfed in one of the first heats of the day. The waves wasn't in perfect form yet, but there was some good ones to be had. Nicole surfed really well in her heat and was able to advance to the semi final. In the semi's, she was once again surfing really well but didn't get that one wave she needed to advance to the finals. Over all she was stoke with her finish. But she said it would have been better to advance to finals. That's ok... you did great and especially when your having fun out there!!

Devin surfed in the Menehune shortboard division which is the 11 and under. He advanced through four rounds and won a couple of heats in the process before the semi final. In semi final Devin ended up posting his highest score of the event, a 9.5! He was stoke with his score, but he was even happier with the announcement that he had won the semi. Then it was time for the final. The final was stacked with the best surfers from a cross the state and some great waves to be surfed. So the stage was set. All the kids surfed really well and it was just a matter of who was going to get the best wave. Devin had some great medium size waves but not the one he needed in the end. He just missed a solid four foot wave that could have possibly been a very high scoring wave. So he settle for the next wave that didn't open up for him in the closing seconds. After surfing four rounds and a semi final,  Devin ended up placing "3rd" in the HSA State Championships final!!!

We are super stoked for Nicole and Devin and their accomplishments this season. 

"Our surf Family"

We want say thank you to Nicole and Devin's sponsors, friends, and family for the support and believing in them. We cant say thank you enough.

Surf Week Update

All I can say this crazy week has come to an end and now I can finally rest. 

It all started early morning Wednesday with us working on the Hawaii 5-0 set as extras. It was a great experience to be apart of it, but I would not do it again. 

Then we jump right into the Hawaii NSSA Regionals Championships on Thursday thru Saturday. It was a great event held at Kewalos in 2-3 foot surf. Devin boy had a great showing by advancing to three out four division finals.

Open Mini Grom............3rd
Explorer Super Grom....2nd
Explorer Menehune.......6th
In the fourth division the open boys he advanced to the Repo and place 5th. 

Then on Sunday we finished  up the other half of HSA at Makaha. It was a solid 3-4 feet with some off shore winds. So it can be said the kids scored a great surf session at Makaha. Devin made the finals once again and place 3rd. 

The week prior HSA, Nicole surfed in her girls 17 and under division and advanced to repo round.  Though she didn't make it to the finals, she was surfing really good.

Well thats the update from a crazy week. Now it's time for me to get some sleep.

Yah right!!!

The Hardware!!!

Freestyle Watches

Devin just received another set of great freestyle watches the other day. I tell you what when a box comes in with his name on it he's all smiles. After opening the box he was stoke to find a gromtide and shark watch that he likes to wear while surfing or just cruzing around.
If you haven't got your new 2011 freestyle watch, what are you waiting for. This years line of watches is sick as always. As you can see in the 2011 catalog in the picture. Go to my links and check out the freestyle site to find your watch.
I hope you find your watch. Till next time.
Aloooha.

Up north again

Here we are again on the north shore for a little surf sesh and dinner on the beach. What a life.

Hump Day Surfing

Aloha...
Here we are on the north shore of Oahu for a late surf session at Ehukai. Of course the kids are out while I have the camera duties once again. I can't complain to much because I enjoy watching them surf. Or at least I think so. Hahaha
From the looks of things the HSA turtle bay contest will be canceled once again for the second week in a row. Oh well I guess we get to free surf all weekend instead or clean the house. What to do.
That's it for now....peace.

Ransom Cru Member

Congrats to Devin boy who is now part of the Ransom team.
If you don't know what Ramson is, they are a sick surf wax manufacture. Its by far my favorite wax to use on my board for awhile now. They also carry other products (deck pad, leashes, day board bags for 5'0 and up) that you can see in Devins picture. We have been doing this surf thing for awhile now and Ransom has board bags and other items that is actually made with the grom in mind.
So check out the Ransom website in my links to find out more about them.
A big MAHALO goes out to the Ransom Cru.
Congratulations Devin Boy!!!!

Nicole's Birthday Race

At Podium Raceway for Nicole's birthday race. She took second against Devin. It's her birthday but her brother still didn't let her win. Hahaha. To bad big brother Jordan didnt race with them. That would made things even more enteresting. Jordan ended up racing against the big dogs and came in second.
It looked like a lot of fun out there racing. The kids validated that by there smiles on thier faces.  If you ever get a chance... check out Podium Raceway and get your race on.

The race is on!!

The results

Once the racing was complete, the kids work up an appetite. So we went to Nicole favorite place to eat Genki Sushi. Of course I won that race by having the most plates in front of me. hahahaha. Now to top it off we went Grandma's for some ono cake and ice cream. 

What a great day with my beautiful daughter on her special day. Happy Birthday to my Nicole!!!

Peace out Homies!!!

We are at Maili point for the VQS. Devin and Nicole are both entered in this contest. If you make the finals you are qualified for the main contest on the mainland. Unfortunately Nicole didn't advance from her heat. But she tried really hard. Keep it up sister. As for Devin, he was in the finals. Now we are waiting for the award ceremony to see where he placed. Either way great job devin!!!

Killer video of the kids on Novus Swell

Day two of the surf trip.

Alooha,
Well it's now day two if the Blanco's surf trip. It started with a drive to the east side. Once there things didn't look that great for the kids. So we had to make decision where to go to next. And here we are at old fateful "Kewalos". It's about 1-2 feet and ripable. Well that's what Devin, Nicole, and Tia are doing, ripping it.
After this session, we need to stop and get some ding repair stuff to fix some boards. Then to top it off, we will hit another late session at hau bush.
What can I say... Another fun filled day with the Blanco's. Chee hooo!!!

Hanging with the Blanco's

This is day one of the Blanco's vacation. We are at pyramid rock and it's firing (4-6 feet Hawaiian). Jordan and Simon are out there battling the conditions. Hopefully they get a couple of waves. Devin, Nicole, and Tia decided to sit this session out. That was a good decision on their part.
I don't know what up with this weather (lots of rain) right now but it really sucks. We need the rain but this is getting carried away.
Well people you have a great day!!!

Here's the scoops from this weekend.

Aloha Gang...
Well first of all the HSA surf contest was cancelled due to lack of waves and the weather. I have mix feeling about the contest being cancelled.  Devin doesn't get to compete and surf. But I get to do things around the new house. The house part can go either way. Hahaha... Good news, we are almost at a point where we can call our new place "Home". And I cant wait for that to happen.

In between taking the kids surfing(very rare) and house work, we made our way to "Blue Hawaii Surf" Pearl Ridge to meet our friend Joel and the rest of Hurley Surf team. It was great event...Hurley and Blue Hawaii provided free stickers, posters, and hats. what a great way to start my Christmas shopping. Just kidding. If you do get a Hurley hat from me, I bought it. hahaha.

Also the Blancos are trying to fly home today. but we need to see if they get out. Hopefully they do!!! Once they finally get here, the surf sessions for two weeks is on.

Well gang that about it for now. Will keep you posted.

Devin and the Hurley Cru

No surfing just shopping

The conditions aren't the best for surfing today. So we decided to start our Christmas shopping finally. Of course we had to make Blue Hawaii Surf at pearl ridge our first stop. They have a great deal for the kama'ainas...10% off!!!

Something Different...Skating!!!

Aloha...
I am back after a week of moving into our new house. Devin got to surf a few times this past week up at north shore and our spot Hau bush. So today he decided to skate. Here we are at the Hickam hanger skating. Well he is and I'm watching.
Before we hit the skate park, we were at the Air National Guard family day event. Where there was a lot of food to be consumed. I can say I had my share. Hahaha
This has been a busy day so far. Not sure if we will make it to the north shore for the RVCA BBQ and volcom skate demo. But we will see how things goes after Devins skate session.
Till that decision is made. Alooha!!!

Aloha...

Aloha...
I hope everybody had a great thanksgiving!!!
I know it's been a few days since my last posting. We have been kinda busy with moving to our new house. We are almost settled in to appoint where we can start doing the stuff we love, "surf". Hopefully we can hit the beach tomorrow. Key word... hopefully.
I will keep you posted.
Mahalo,
Karl Brue
