A Day in the Life of Matty Wong. It was a pleasure to come out and fish and learn so much from you. Jumping in the water and photographing a fat shibi prior to being gaffed or dispatched was pretty nuts too 💀. If you’re superstitious about bananas on boats like I was.. just send em to Matt … he still catches😂 .Thanks for having me ya fish mongrel!

I’ll never forget the moment those flowers dropped and landed perfectly around Clyde during that Eddie’s opening ceremony. Something powerful was being said & felt there…

This is what’s surfing has always been about for me - the culture and community. It was fun to fun to film surf events, sponsorships & commercials but nothing compared to just enjoying Mother Nature with others that wanna just ride some mountains.

Rest well Uncle Clyde! Enjoy those green alert waves up there 🤙🏽 lots of prayers of comfort & peace to the Aikau family.
