Haleiwa International Open

On christmas eve they had the 44th annual HIO (Haleiwa International Open)! the waves were in the 4-6 foot range with some occasional bigger sets and everyone was ripping!

 

This year I placed 3rd in the Japan Mens division along with JUSTICE FAMILY team rider taishi kawabata.

 

Cant wait for next year!
