Kolohe Andino 50 yards deeper than everyone and making it.

Ian Crane took a liking to Macaronis and did some massive airs. Slob with pop.

One of the most enjoyable surfs of his rather young but well-documented life.

Ranging from cutback theory to foreign policy. Dino is a curious man and I really like hanging out with him. I don’t always agree with him and I often wonder just how a man can think exclusively in terms of surfing, but I am thrilled he’s here.

The wave before Kolohe blew his chin open.

Even the water was bluer than usual.

Hard to believe you can still get these waves to yourself if things go right.

Ian Crane is a funny character. He wanders somewhere between bashful and playboy. Awkward and suave. His grin is nonstop. His style is very reminiscent of Cory Lopez and there is a very good chance he will emerge in the next two years: his style, charisma, and flair are all in place. He’s ready to go.

Taj Burrow on an afternoon he’ll remember for a bit, even after all the good trips he’s been on, this one tickled him. Wonder why…

When we asked Kolohe why he wanted to make a video, he said, “So I can go surfing with my best friends again.” A feel-good moment of just that. Luke Davis with Kolohe in the lip.

Kolohe seemed to make it a point to dig his fins in as much as he pulled them out.

Tanner Rozunko is team jester. “My best friends are like the X-Men of surfing.” He said. “I don’t even know what it’s like to have friends who don’t surf like these guys.” But what Tanner doesn’t know is how much the entire group looks up to him. Tanner is their window into the beyond. He is in a band. He skates incredible. Reads about famous musicians and always has an abstract observation or information to relay to them.

Tanner was way too late for this wave, but the best part of surfing with your homies is going anyway.

Thats’ a good indicator that this is a good wave.
