I am very lucky to have been featured in the new film ''HighWater''

Last night was a special night for me. I was at the first screening of the new documentary film that I am featured in about surfing in Hawaii called HighWater. It is from the makers of Step into Liquid in which I was featured in as well. It was screened in the LA Film Festival at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre to a packed crowd. To me it is an honor to be a part of Dana and Wes Brown's new film. Surfing continues to be a very special activity for me. Watching myself on the big screen made me feel very special and I felt proud of myself to be able to still do what I love the most, SURF. Following my dreams and being in a feature film movie has shown me how important it is to dream big and work hard. Two things that I try and do. Sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't. But with this new film HighWater, I definitely dreamed big and worked hard to make my part in the film the best I possibly could. I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did.

''Nice Yellow''

Today a few friends of mine and I went on a little fishing trip out to the Channel Islands. The weather was absolutely perfect. There was no wind and lots of sunshine. Being out on the ocean is such a special feeling for me. Just feeling the ocean breeze on my face is so clean and refreshing. We really had a fun time together. A few hours into our trip I hooked up on a nice size yellowtail. It was very powerful and almost ripped the fishing pole right out of my hands. I called out to my friend Jesse to take over on trying to reel it in. Twenty-Five minutes later we were all treated to a 26lb yellowtail. We all had huge smiles on our faces and gave each other high fives. Fishing is such a relaxing sport for me. I love it.....

Capitalize on Possibilities

''Everyone has obstacles and insecurities on a daily basis. The measure of a man is how he deals with things. Jesse is all about possibilities....What can be done? What can I do? Why not? How will I make a difference? How can I contribute......TODAY! These are questions that we should all ask ourselves...Jesse stands tall in my book. Every time I think of him, I am inspired to do more.''

A day with the boys fishing in Malibu

I was really lucky to be able to go fishing with a few of my friends in Malibu yesterday. Just being out on a boat in the open ocean is so peaceful and beautiful to me. We went out on my friend Jesse's 14ft boat and went up to point dume to go fishing. At first we weren't catching anything, but we were still having so much fun out there. About 2hrs into our fishing trip we were drifting along some kelp beds and sand allies when BAMMM, I hooked up to a 6lb Halibut. I had the biggest smile on my face. I felt like a little kid at the candy store. I was so excited to catch a good size fish. We kept fishing for about 4 or 5 more hours and had such an amazing time. It meant so much to me just to be out on a boat with a few friends and having a great time together. I cant wait to go out again.
