SUMMER LOVIN' 19/06/2010
 
I don't even know where to begin. It has been awhile since I updated my blog and I apologize for that, however I have been super busy and lovin' life! I will not go into great details for the past two months, as it would take way too much time, so I will just focus on the recent occasions. Also, thank you to all my friends and family for your support this year. My dreams are coming true and I am loving life happily. Mahalo.

The USBA hosted The Sport Chalet US Open of Bodyboarding on June 4th-6th in Huntington Beach. The weekend was filled with good times, lots of hard work, bodyboarding and it was so great spending time with my friends I rarely ever see. Congrats to Jacob Romero, for earning the Men's Pro trophy. You killed it guy!

On an unfortunate note though Matt Hamilton, a DK rider, had a stroke in his DK Semi Finals heat. He is doing much better now, but is in rehab. Alex Gero and I put together this website, in order to fundraise for him and his family, as they are in need of financial support. Every dollar counts, so please be generous and donate what you can. Thank you. Please visit: www.chewyham.com Also, I am helping put together a fundraiser for Matt, so keep your eyes pealed for an update on this event.

Also, June 16, was my Dad's passing 6 years ago. So he has been on my mind more than often lately. Daddy, you are missed but your heart and soul lives on through me and your family. I honor his positive attitude, his strength to NEVER GIVE UP, his on going laughter and smiles, his tears, his ability to be an amazing Father and most of
all, my hero. We love you always and forever. I love you more! xo
