We just caught up with Mason Rose today and asked him what’s up on the rock. Mason’s been there for a month or so and wrote a little report for us to share with you guys. Also check the photo gallery below the report.

Spongercity: Hey Mason, howdy ? What’s up in Hawaii ? Any cool stories ? what you’ve been doing ? weather, waves, sessions, nights ? Your thoughts on the pipe comp ?

Mason: Aite you aliens who be one dimensional on the island of Oahu i wanna share my thoughts on island styles.

Surf, eat, cruise, surf, eat, cruise, party and sleep then do it again, basically this is how it is on the island of Oahu Hawaii but everyone has their version, there experience, their story – this is mine.

Have been here in Hawaii for a month, well this is my 14th time, I have local people i call family, i roll with my crew and i respect the place to the fullest, one day i’d like to live here and make it my home.

A lot of people just stay on the north shore and camp out because they’re forced to but for me i just roam from one side of the island to the next chasing the swell only the locals know about and for me I’m blessed to have that opportunity and i make the most of it…

My daily routine always starts and ends with a wave check and swell forecast so i know where i need to be and then jump in the car and go get some.

I’m also juggling an event (shadow wars), work back home(creative arts director for a company) on top of trying to get waves and coverage for my sponsors www.turbosurfdesigns.com

About the pipe comp, Kainoa McGee is my boy, and he has done alot for the sport, you could say he is our backbone but this year we forgot this and we didn’t hold a spot for him in the pipe comp and maybe it was a miss understanding, a mistake to say the least, i know he is pissed but i hope he recoils and does enter cause i know since then he has been offered a top seed in the comp and entry waivers etc…but other than that the comp will be killah…it always is but i feel this year it has a better structure and grounding to it…the riders are dope and i can’t wait to see the crazy moves!

I got to get out of here and go surf but check some of the pics from my trip…surf, parties and good times! THIS IS HOW I ROLL IN HAWAII!

PEACE
M
