True Story: in 1993 Ricky Massie got me a meeting with Quiksilver and Danny Kwock the VP of Marketing. I left his office and thought, well f#%k you too in tears! “I don’t need another California kid going to Hawaii thinking he is going to be a hero at Pipeline!” He said. The team manager Robbie Todd went back in after and got me $500 bucks, a ticket to Hawaii and some Quiksilver gear and stickers. “Good Luck man!”… Cut to living on garage floors, but I was on the North Shore, Hawaii! One day I was sitting under neath the bushes of the now Quiksilver house (which was my house 10 years later and I made it the Quiksilver House) watching 200 plus guys on a Perfect day at Pipeline… the guy next to me passed me a joint, I took a hit (?) and said how crowded it was. The guy next to me said, “it only takes one wave man!”. So I went out.. 150 people on the first reef, so I paddled out toward second reef. I ran into Noah Johnson @n04hj and he said there is a wave here halfway between happening! I left paddling and that wave came right to me, Noah J was caught inside and yelled, “go you fucker!”. Cut to two months later, I’m still sleeping on the floor of a garage at Alex Cox’s house at Rocky Point. I turn over a @surfer_magazine and there I was on the cover surfing Pipeline… my childhood dream came true that day. I cried tears of joy for an hour looking at that cover. It had been drawn all over, joint in my mouth, fart coming out of my ass and haole kook with an arrow pointing at me… I didn’t care, I was on the cover! So don’t let people break your spirit, follow your dreams and make it happen on your own accord. No one is going to give you anything, it’s up to you… #1993 #pipeline #hawaii #surfing #stillloveit #thankyou #southsideboys ?, @photogordinho / @donkingfilms
