last year's luau.

last year, I put all the photos and stuff from the luau on instagram. it was a great time. kind of small and low key. caught up with old friends, made new friends. it is amazing how these gatherings change from year to year. every year is different. yet every year friends and family enjoy the Surf A Pig lifestyle!!!!

I thought I'd post up the video TJ made of last year’s luau and the flier Jason Arnold made of last year’s luau.

we are not going to have a luau this year (all the virus hysteria).  instead, I plan to focus resources towards next year's. I plan to promote next years luau super early and consistently. in an ideal situation, friends from EVERYWHERE would make it. it'd be amazing to see some friends from here, Japan, Australia, Italy, UK, Netherlands, East Coast, Oregon, Texas.... this next luau (2021) will be our 10th. I'm going to try to do it right. stay tuned.

LUAU 6 !!!!!!!!!!!

well, here we go. stoked to be able to pull another one. what a year it's been!! (we have new member to the family arriving by the time this goes down.) i'm so grateful for the support from my wife for this stuff. i truly appreciate all the support and camaraderie from all the participants. so stoked on the friendships and memories that develop here.  

details: we have a campsite near trail 5 up on the bluffs. the pig is served near mid-day Saturday June 24. 

this year we're going to hold this "miscreant melee" of sorts on Saturday from 6-10 a.m. down on the beach. the structure for this miscreant melee is as follows. show up with your board and a white (or light colored) shirt at 6 am (or as close to it as possible). we'll paint a letter (or two) on your shirt (I'll have a can of spray paint). some of us go out and surf for an hour, the crew that doesn't surf watches. then we switch places for an hour. we cycle through this twice. two groups , surf two one hour sessions. collectively 3 categorical champions are decided on. 

category 1) trim  

category 2) turn  

category 3) nose ride   

--- the champion of each category earns a jug of suds. said champion shows up next year with a full jug thus keeping the event alive. we're back up under the shade of the pepper tree talking about _______ by 10:30 a.m. hungry for tacos!!!! simple. 

this thing doesn't have the pomp of a handwritten (with a paint brush) exclusive "invitation" list. nope, we're not that cool. just participants participating in fun stuff. hope to see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
