Quiver
Being born and raised in Hawaii and now a resident of New York City, it is important to have the right tools for travels and seasons in or out of Hawaii and New York. I travel as much as possible and love to have fun regardless. My quiver in New York City consists of a 24″ BMX bike, A snowboard, 6’3″ Mayhem Lost Fish Surfboard, 6’4″ Chino Magallenes Fish, In4mation 8″ skateboard and a SLB cruiser with OJ Iis and travel bags.

I gotta say that surfing in New York takes dedication cause it’s quite a production getting to the beach from Manhattan using its public transportation. I definitely got strange looks on the subway to people saying “where you taking that thing?” East River?. Living in Hawaii and New York has gotta be the best of both worlds.

Traveling
Life is too short. I’m gonna try and rack up as many stamps as I can in 2009. Travel and leisure magazine best describes all I want to do in my life besides designing clothes and art.

Health
Don’t get me fooled! I love eating and eat a lot too. Eating right, staying hydrated and healthy is an important balance for me mentally and physically.

Nike+ Kicks
This has to be one of the best forms and functional shoes to date. A microchip embedded in the shoe that helps you count your miles either running or walking. I had to get two of these, one for running and one just to rock. It’s pretty darn comfortable and only weighs 8oz. Love them!

In4mation’s Nike+ Challenge
In our New York Office, we set up a company challenge for each month. Employees who ever rack up the most miles will get a gift or days off during the end of challenge. We strongly believe to stay active, stay healthy so it helps bring down stress levels working in the hustle and bustle of New York and this industry. Check out our chart for the month of August!
