The pre-dinner post workday “deck beer” is one of my favorite beers. @805beer Making a happy crew 🤝

Walking through the kiawe trees and fields of lava rock before the sun is up, we can hear the south swell pounding. My brother @zaniac1 and I half run half trot down the trail with our boards, food, and water. We know we’re in for a really good time, and froth levels are high. 4 hours later, back on the beach with a couple broken boards, and a few sketchy swims through the rip current under our belts. We’ve got smiles from ear to ear and can’t stop laughing. Thank you to all the locals for being so welcoming and cool, and thank you @_kimonokaoi_ for the picture, you da man 🙌. Days like that are the result of so many years dedicated to surfing, and the payoff is worth every second. Let’s do it again @zaniac1 ✊.

10 years ago in the lane lot @buell_akow asked what my favorite color was, I said green. Ryan walked over to his truck, grabbed a green wetsuit and a sticker, and said come by the dugout sometime. I was stoked ! Had a lot of good times hangin with Ryan @mattrockhold and @jamieshortdawgjones over there. Just 3 doods tryin to run a wetsuit company. Hours of bullshitting, jamming over to the lane for a quick surf, good times in the dugout. After a 3 year hiatus with another brand, I called up Matt and Ryan to see if I could drop by @buellsurfshop and purchase a new suit and say hi. Matt says no way! You can’t just buy a suit, we want you back on the program haha...Again, stoked! Just wanted to say thank you Matt, Ryan, everyone down at @buellsurf for being so cool over the years and supporting every opportunity I’ve had. Screw the money, the scene. To be able to go surfing with friends and have some brands support you and what you love is the dream. Cheers @buellsurf 🤙 || @805beer @proliteint ll

Damn Bob you did it again. A twin fin with a plus one option, squash tail, and combo’d with a slightly lowered tail rocker. Looking for maximum gas pedal effect 🏁 thank you @pearsonarrow 🔥 . || @805beer @proliteint ||

Some photos from over the years taken by @audrey_lambidakis . Check out the link in my bio. Thank you Audrey 🙌. Surfing on a mix of boards shaped by two of some of my favorite personalities in the surf world. Joe Bark and Bob Pearson @barkboards @pearsonarrow || @805beer @proliteint ||

Hard to believe the contrast between what I was was doing on July 11th ( freezing my ass off fishing in Bristol bay) vs August 11th. So good to see old friends and hang on the beach with this fine lady. 🏖

@hfnooney is rock n roll 🤘✌️

Another sockeye salmon season hammered out. Windy and cold, rainy and cold, foggy and cold, it was a two sweatshirt season ( means you’re wearing two sweatshirts and maybe a vest under your raingear). This year was a slog, between the elements and constantly fixing stuff, these two videos kind of sum it up. I’m grateful we scratched out a decent season. Later on this day it was gusting 50 knots. Good times !

Holy grind. After 22 consecutive 10-12 hour days in the boat yard, the Pickin n Grinnin is in the water. A new drum, stern console, new and revamped plumbing for both the refrigeration system and our hydraulics, is the top of a long list of projects. Demoing, layout, ripping shit apart, fabricating, welding, more glassing, installing, and repeat. The amount of hoops me and my 66 year old pops jumped through was nuts! Next up we’re taking off at 4 am to head down to Egegik river with our whole crew. Right now we’re allotted 12 hours a day to fish but I think that will be upped shortly. All you can do is grit yer teeth hang on tight and say let’s go!!!

I’m not quite sure why I got so lucky as to have my very own Hannah, everyone should have a Hannah. It’s awesome. Being gone away for 2 months is hard, but coming home is that much more sweet. And since I will most likely be out of service on that special day, here is a very happy pre 30th birthday wish for you. Thank you for a full memory bank to keep me company on the boat. Keep it up hot stuff ! ❤️

Happy Father’s Day ya salty dawg !

There’s four things that are necessary for keeping morale up during a Bristol bay fishing season. Lots clean socks, coffee, paper towels. And also some beer after many long grindy days. @805beer keeping the crew of the Pickin n Grinnin fat and happy 😃 thank you !
