.View from the Volcom House – Doesn’t get much better than that!Kid Peligro spent the last 12 days in Hawaii for a long overdue vacation while his plans for the trip did not go too much as planned. I did not get a bigger wave than Makua Rothman, did not get tubed deeper than Kalani Robb and got crushed by Kai Garcia in training. I did have a great time with my hosts taking me surfing, training, barbqueing etc, so I have to thank my friends/hosts for all the attention and Aloha. Although there were too many to be listed in my thanks I have to mention Kai Garcia, Leif Robinson, JD, Makua Rothman, Kala Alexander, Darrell Stant, Scott Porter, Big Al, Jessie and The Volcom House. You all made this a trip of a lifetime. Big Mahalo!Now back to action.The Essential Guard Book Signing party and charity AuctionKid Peligro and Rodrigo Medeiros are celebrating the release of their book ‘The Essential Guard’ with a book signing and charity action.
