At The Ocean
Some film photos taken down by the beach. It's been a little cold and gloomy here, lately. I'm wishing for another one of these sunny beach days, to enjoy some sunshine and salty air.

Wow, what a weekend it was! How was yours? We hope you were lucky enough to be in Texas because
the guys and gals down in Corpus Christi sure know how to do things in style.
From Hawaii to California, the UK to Japan, and the East Coast to Texas...there exists a group of certain
people that you are fortunate to meet. Regardless of where you're from, there's always a certain connection
when you meet people who love to live life. Passionate about what they're doing.
When it comes to Texas, we couldn't have been more honored to partner up with Brian, Jeremy, and the

Many thanks are due to Shawn + Katie + Chad of BAYVI, and Jeremy + Brian of Covered Up. Covered
Up Surf and Skate is a sick core shop down in Corpus run by guys who know their stuff. (Not to mention
they've got a surf team that can make a draining five footer look like a walk in the park.)

Check out Covered Up Surf and Skate here .

Hawaii on film
Doesn't this look like the perfect day?! I'm living vicariously through these photos taken by Nicole. The last photo is of Stairway To Heaven. I've always loved staring up at that staircase from the highway.

BayVI Riders at HSA Contest at Kewalos
There was a HSA contest at Kewalos over the weekend and BayVI riders did really well, AGAIN!
Cole Yamakawa took 3rd in Jr Men division. I must say, this is by far the toughest division going against some of SURFER's Hot 100 surfers. Cole surfed solid beating them coming in at 3rd! Congrats Cole!
Our team rider and shaper Brice Yamashita took 3rd in Master division too! He surfed solid going against surfers who are doing some QS events. Congrats Brice!
Brice is an amazing shaper too. Everyone who rides he's board always got nothing but good things to say about his/her boards.
3 of top 4 surfers in Jr Men division & 2 of top 4 in Boys division sufers were surfing on Brice boards! Now that's a solid proof that Brice shapes great boards!
Order your boards from Brice at www.BriceSurfboards.com !
What can i say about Hana Harrison... She just rips! I don't ever surf with her because she makes me look like a kook out there! ha ha.
Hana took 1st in Womens division, AGAIN! I forgot to get her photo with yet another trophy so here's her photo i took free surfing!
Congrats Hana!
HSA Hawaii State Championship is starting tomorrow at Ala Moana Bowls. Good luck team!

Wade Tokoro in SF1ST Magazine
I love frequenting our local Japanese bookstore and magazine shop. They've got an endless collection
of magazines and books, and going there never gets old. (Not to mention that nextdoor lies the best
curry restaurant ever.)
Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise this weekend to stroll in to the bookstore and see Shaper Wade Tokoro
featured in the most recent issue of SF1ST Magazine. What a sick shot. Deep + committed at Pipe:
You really will not come across many people in this world like Wade. Throughout the years, he has been
a mentor, an inspiration, and an entrusted friend for which I am deeply grateful. Maybe it's because he's
from the Eastside . Guys like Wade, his brother Kerry, the Mijos, and a handful of guys from the Eastside
can be some of the most down-to-earth, respectful, and humble guys you will meet. They let their surfing
do all the talking.
Six years ago, I remember sitting down with Wade, and sharing with him the ideas of BAYVI before it was
even born. He helped provide feedback on the beginning BAYVI logo sketches, helped house our teamriders
when they were small, and provided guidance and support throughout the years. It is without a doubt that
our progress in Hawaii and Japan would not be possible without guys like him.
The next time the Triple Crown comes along, make it a concerted effort to see whose surfboard everybody
chooses to ride on for the most critical contest of the year. Champions and contendors Mick Fanning,
Andy Irons, Joel Parkinson, Sunny Garcia, Minetou Ushikoshi...the list goes on and on. It's no surprise
that the world's best surfers choose to ride Wade's boards. His boards rock.
If you're in need of a high-performance board, and would like to get a custom-shaped board directly
from Wade, give the man a call and contact him at:
www.tokorosurfboards.com
I still remember my first Tokoro board. Lightning fast and turned on a dime. Consistent quality and
performance.
Thank you to Wade, Kerry, Darin, Jason, Chad, Bert, and many others along the way.
