Sorry

Hey sorry I haven't posted a blog in a while. My internet at my new place doesn't work well, but to make it up to you all I posted THREE!!!! Enjoy and leave a comment!!!!

Hooked!

CRAP!!!! Well…..I don’t know how to say this……..ummm…….well….ok I will just tell u. I HAVE AN ADDICTION. No its not drugs its something far more addicting……………SURFING.

Me on a fun right at Pupukeas

I cant really tell all of you how much I have grown to love surfing. It is my new passion. There is nothing that I enjoy more at this moment that a good northwest swell at Pupukeas or Rocky Point. I also have the problem that none of you (that I know of) surf much so I don’t know if you will understand how I feel about it. It is so fun and so relaxing and so therapeutic you have no idea. One of my new best buds in the world is Toni Clark.

He is from Tennessee and is a really good surfer.

Since I got here we have been surfing together and have been having a blast doing it. We even have gone night surfing a couple of times. You cant imagine the thrill of ripping down a wave in the moonlight with the Waikiki skyline in front of you. ITS SO AWESOME. Surfing also makes you forget any problems you have. Especially when you do it in killer orange short shorts.


If me or Toni are having any kind of a bad day we just look at each other and say…..Well lets go surf it off.

Rippin Sunset in the short shorts

Several times when the swell is good we have got up before sunrise to go dawn patrol surf just so we could get the best waves before the others get there. Sitting on your board watching the sunrise or set over the waves is a near euphoric experience. I have gone tandem surfing with some cute chicks (this is two people on one board and is way fun). I also have mastered the headstand on the longboard which also is a blast. So basically I am hooked. If any of you want to make me happy at any time in my life its simple…….help me get to some waves, preferably Northshore oahu.

A Fun drop at Pupukeas

I love Nevada with all my heart but it can be hard on someone with a love for the ocean…….there just isn’t much oceanfront property….lol.


Climbing Lifes Mountains

I remember when I was about four or so and my babysitter Christy Nance came over to watch me and she brough along her little brother…Skylar. He had a Nintendo, and to a four year old a Nintendo is about the coolest thing that there is……..and therefore, its owner is too. In short, this was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between me and Skylar.

We decided we had to do something great to celebrate my return from the mission and we decided on an epic trip to Hawaii. Skylar came to visit these last few weeks and they rocked. WE DID A TON. We swam, we hiked to two waterfalls, we cliff jumped and even jumped off one twenty footer naked at night with a group of friends, We camped on the beach, we danced at a fun school dance, we went to pearl harbor, we hiked the insanely steep “stairway to heaven”, we surfed, we ate shave ice, we kayaked, we fished, we explored some smaller islands, we night swam, we night surfed, ………in short we did it all. One of our favorite thing we did was hike chinamans hat, a small island about a half mile off shore.

See we climbed it and decided to pretty much forget the normal trail and climb the hardest part.

Still we were victorious and after kayaking to the island, making a steep climb we reached the top.

See that’s been our story. Me and Skylar have been climbing the mountain of life since the beginning…..and we have done all of it together. Good times bro!

The Island Invasion

So these last few months I have been on this island enjoying my time all by myself thinking that nothing could end this wonderful island peace I continually feel here. Still I did not know that my parents were plotting and invasion. The decided to deploy there worst agents to destroy my peace.

My little brothers Ian and Forrest.

Suddenly my peace was shattered and all hell broke loose!

Actually it was the adventure trip with three handsome devils exploring every crack of the island. We did everything. We swam, we snorkeled, hiked, we jumped off rocks, we camped on the beach, we surfed, we visited pearl harbor and had a blast together.

Also Ian and forrest were the talk of the campus among the girls and two hot chicks from Sweden were all over them.

Ian also dished out a few solid losses to overconfident tennis players. Forrest and Ian both picked up surfing quick though were sure to whine about there sore nipples….hahaha you get that when u first start surfing.Basically it was brother time of the best kind and we enjoyed ourselves to the max but alas not all good things last forever and it was time for them to go. Still we had fun and the memories are not soon to fade. Surely this wont be the last time that the Hansen boys take this island by storm.
