So last Monday night, Kaboe hits me with a text saying Red Bull is lighting up Pipe and peeps were going to be surfing it. I headed down there armed with a pouch full of Mickey’s grenades to kick it with the boys and watch some night surfing. Little did i know (um, clueless) Jamie O had won the Volcom Pipeline Pro that day and a massive celebration was going down on his plus sized lanai (aka deck) right in front of Pipe. I swaggered on up and a chill night @ the beach quickly turned rager, fueled by way too much Red Bull vodki. Here’s a few pics.

We scored a Go Pro Board Cam from Santa Claus this year. Unfortunately on the third day of use a Bwarevillian pulled in too deep and lost it! But here are a couple of shots we got before the loss. The Bigger board is a 6′5” Bali Joe Custom triple winger stinger channel board. And the short board is a 5′2” Chuck Andrus custom single fin.
Since 2002, VA rapper Mad Skillz has done a year end wrap up track which sums up all the major events that happened throughout the year from politics, national and international news and, of course, the music industry. Here’s 2009 and welcome to 2010!
We’d like to take the time out to big up one of our designers, Landon Osamu who has been our main designer since the beginning. He’s really helped to take our crazy, out there concepts and ideas and turn them into something real. Landon is also responsible for cranking out flyers for many of the concert and club events here in Hawaii. Here’s a few samples of his work. Feel free to hit him up if you need design work or just to tell him what a good job he’s doing:
This past Sunday we shot the third and final installment of the Where’s Waldo print ad campaign right in front of B-Ware headquarters at Rocky Point up here on the N. Shore. Our theme this time was birthday beach party gone bad. Some new faces and some Waldo Ad vets showed for the shoot, which turned out to be an amazing finishing piece of the campaign. The ad will run in the next Contrast magazine. We can’t show it yet, but here’s a video recap done by our friends at KJK Productions. Thanks to everyone who came out.
