Unloading stuff I’ve had in storage.
Aloha From Long Beach
Almost exactly ten years to the day. This one caught me off guard. Thought we were just going to see Nelly get his black belt. Stoked to level up with my braddah and to get promoted by Chris Gutierrez. Even more special that my family was there to experience the whole thing.

It’s been a long time. Way too long but I am grateful for this moment. Sisters.

Vintage Patagonia Anorak from the 90’s. Purchased this from the Patagonia store in San Francisco near Fisherman’s Wharf. I’ve had this for over 30 years.

The next batch of shirts are from Royal Hawaiian Pool Service. They’re printed on Red Kap Work Shirts. Got these from Grant Fukuda.
Fitted x A’ala Park Boardshop tee. Got this from Ola from Fitted when I went back home to visit in 2017. Designed by the Fitted team.
This was a collab tee that we did with Fitted for the release of a Vans Era Pro shoe that we worked on together. Fitted Off the Wallos tee designed by the Fitted team.
Fitted Aloha TA. This tee was a play on the Alva logo. I’m pretty sure Cuzzo conceptualized this one.
Fitted x Eighty Four Skate x Spitfire Wheels. This tee was from a collab we did with Spitfire. Not sure what year it was but I’m pretty sure this was the first collab Spitfire did with any skateshop in Hawaii. There was a wheel that accompanied this tee that I will post later. Designed by Ola and the Fitted team.
