Busy Week

           Hello All,
 Sorry for not posting for awhile. I was in Hawaii. It was lots of fun but I won't bore you with the details. Basically, Now I know why there are no professional skaters that come out of Hawaii. There are only a handful of parks on the island Oahu and none of them were anything sort of comparable to what we have here in SoCal. I made sure to pack my board just in case when we left. I'm glad I did. I hit 3 skateparks. I can't quite remember the names of them. There was the 1 skatepark that stood above the others and so did the riders. As we were touring I spotted a skatepark on the side of the rode. Mostly bowls, a spine, and a couple ledges. But it was super fun. As we walked into the park I saw a guy come flying out if the bowl, grab his board and make the shape of a cross with his body. That's right, he did a Christ Air atleast 4 foot out of the bowl. But the one thing that this park had in common with the other skateparks on the island was no transitions.
          Now I don't know why it didn't have good transitions, but it was like a wallride on every banks, quarterpipe, and halpipe. And this was at all of the park. Another park I went to was on the coast and it took alittle bit of time to find and to be honest, It wasn't really worth it. They just thought that they could take a black-top basketball court and glue a few ramps and ledges to it. There was 1 feature worthy of praise and that was a wallride to ledge that was really fun. I banged my leg up pretty good trying a front 180 of and kicking my front leg too much. But other than that, it was a decent park.
         The last park was how do I put this.... Impossible to get into. That's right. I saw it and got all excited that I would get to skate it. It had a spine, some banks, and a mini-pipe. But when we got up to it there was a huge fence and no way in so we had to leave. Obviously I was dissappointed but atleast I got to skate a little.
       As for the surfing, There were NO WAVES AT ALL!!!!! We circled the island and even on north shore. No waves. And if there was anything there were swells that would push you into rocks when you're snorkeling. But I would have surfed if I could but alas, I could not.
      Fun Trip and a long blog post. We got back home at 3 in the morning last night and my dad being the best dad ever took me to the Vans Skatepark in the City of Orange. More about that trip in the next post.
