Disclaimer: still not a content creator. 🤣 Just sharing a little messy glimpse of something I was really honored to make — 45 cups by hand for the U Surf Cup, hosted by Daniel Uchimura and sponsored by Shutaku. 🤙🏽🌊

The cups were given as finalist prizes and as gifts to some of the people who help make the event happen. All 45 were made by hand in the middle of everything else life has going on. They may not be laser-perfect, but every one was made with heart, soul, a love for creating, and a love for our community.

The U Surf Cup has been such a blessing to our family over the years. All of our kids have participated in one way or another, and this year we had two out there competing and one volunteering— who I probably wouldn’t even have photos of if a friend hadn’t captured them because I was too busy being in the moment. 😂

Every year I’m amazed by the aloha in this community. The love shines bright, the stoke rides high, and there are smiles everywhere you turn. There’s a reason this event is such a favorite for so many of us. 🫶🙌🩵

I loved getting to play a small part in giving back through the finalist bags, especially for these incredible groms. So many of them I’ve watched grow through the years — started out smaller than me and now most of them are taller than me. 😂 Watching them grow, progress, and keep showing up with so much stoke is such a joy.

Congratulations to every competitor and finalist. Keep ripping. 🤙🏽

Huge mahalo to Daniel and May for pouring so much into this event, to Linda for keeping everything running smoothly with a smile, and to Ezra for bringing the energy as the MC and surf commentator the kids look forward to hearing every year.

So grateful for another beautiful U Surf Cup and even more grateful I got to create a little piece of it. 🌊🤍
