Matt Becker Checking In: Dec 2011
Hey Everyone,
Just got back from another awesome trip to Hawaii. I was there for a little under 4 weeks and had an amazing time hangin with my paddling friends over in the islands. I flew over to compete in the final stop of the SUP World Tour event on the Big Island, and did terrible in it ahaha…But it was ok because I got to see my good friend and fellow Harvest team rider Noah Yap made it all the way to the quarterfinals in his first event. Along with that congrats to my friends Zane Schweitzer and Kai Lenny for taking first and second! Anyways,after I lost out of the event I made my way over to the North Shore to stay with another friend Noa Ginella, where we got some surf and took a few photos. After scoring some really fun and big sunset beach on my last day on the North Shore I flew over to Maui to hang with the boys…
Basically the next 10 days consisted of surfing, paddlesurfing, doing downwinders, cliff jumping, eating, and repeating. We got some really fun surf, ate a ton plate lunches, and terrorized flemings (surf spot). I had a great time staying at my friend Slater's pad and also with Noah (Yap). It was just another situation in which I somehow scored a vacation to Hawaii, and am lucky for it. From there I flew home, froze my butt off trying to acclimate from the tropics, and am now waiting for the next big swell, or snow storm. Whichever comes first…
Cheers,
Matt B
