It was the Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships in Wisconsin last weekend. I had a good ride but didnt advance as I fell once just after the 3/4 buoy so I missed out on a few tricks. Rusty Malinoski was named the victor.

Hi,
Left for California last night at 9.45pm. I’m in a Barbershop Chorus called Vocal FX and we won the NZ Nationals last year so we are off to compete in the International Chorus Contest being held during the Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention. Will let you know how we get on.

On the surfing side of things heres random shot of me one day before work when the waves were small at Lyall Bay. . .

Well, after seven long years, I’ve decided to leave my long time sponsor Etnies Footwear to ride for Vans Shoes.

This decision doesn’t come lightly, but it’s time for a change, and there are some projects that are going to be coming up soon with Vans that I’m excited about.

Etnies were my first sponsor, and I would like to thank Marcus, Larry, and Justin at ASM for hooking me up over the years, and for all the good times!

So, my current Sponsor Roster for 2007 is:

Colony BMX Company, The Shadow Conspiracy, Vans Shoes, Mountain Dew, Burger Fuel, Oakley Eyewear, Protec Helmets, Triple Six Distro.

Thanks to everyone for their support, it’s muchly appreciated! I now have a full filming setup so expect some new footage soon…

Cheers, Haimona

Hey Crew,

We’re just up at Snow Park filming the second episode of MDTV. Snow Park NZ opened today with 100% covereage, “the recent dry weather and ideal cool temperature have created perfect conditions for snowmaking and the guns have been blasting for nearly two weeks. The groomers have been busy compacting the snow to create a good firm base.”

So if your in the area come check it out.

You can still view MDTV Episode 1 – Coronet Peak Opening Day here.

Sweet,

Hey crew,

Leroy Christensen, Tim Pierce and myself headed up to Snowpark yesterday to check the snow, new colors and rails.

We met up with some of the Terrain Park crew including Mad dog, Lewis Frontboard, The Kennerly bros, Joe W, Matto Smith to name a few and all is on track for opening day on Friday.

We will be covering the opening day with MDTV and NZsnowboard.com so it’s gonna be sick.

And after riding there will be a massive party up at Snow Park at the Woolshed so you all should make it happen and get up there. It’s gonna go off!!!!!
