    Awesome job out there. I've been watching your videos. You've been coming up big time brother. I was chatting about you with some others on another channel about how strong of a surfer you've become. You are definitely worthy of being on the tour. I'm honestly surprised as hell that was your first tour appearance. Keep up the hard work and the videos coming. RLTW 3/75

    I've been following you since you guys started, so when I was watching Sunset Pro Live and they suddenly said that Kai couldn't surf (I was worried his twins were coming early!) and that YOU were in, I was superrr stoked!!! You killed it!!! I too thought you beat out Kelly, but I love him too, lol But your attitude in all things is amazing. And it was so nice to see how proud your parents were too. I was like Where's Koa's helmet? lol Nice job!
