I'm in Line Up Magazine! Line Up Magazine Issue #15 On stands now! Peep my full page! Check out my interview by Lester Kasai in the upcoming issue #16 too! Culver City, CA Photo by: Kris Wedman You can find Line Up Magazine at most surf / skate shops and at the following stores listed below... About Keoni I hail from the Big Island of Hawaii and spent a lot of formative years in Virginia & San Diego (I think I'm gonna head back to SD soon). As for now, I reside in Los Angeles, Dogtown to be exact. Recently, I left the entertainment industry and Hollywood to pursue a career in skateboarding! So in July of 2007 I threw the suit and ties in the closet and broke out the Vans, t-shirts, shorts and skateboard. Last Summer, I started skating with the kids and crew at the Lincoln Ramp in Venice. Skated my first bowl/pool at The Cove in Santa Monica and tried my luck at vert at Vans and never looked back. Now you can find me at most vert ramps and bowls all over Southern California. I'm still in the very beginning of my career so if you ever see me skate you'll notice that I'm always on a mission. Going big is my attack! I've been paying my dues to put new tricks in my bag every single day I skate, but it's worth every slam! It's all paying off now. My current sponsors are: Gladiator Knee Gaskets Skate Designs Inc. Air Speed Footwear Dirty Shirty Ethix Clothing Yatzco Slip Tape Legends Board Shop SPAUSA Upcoming Press: Concrete Wave Magazine Breaks Magazine - Interview by Eugene Line Up Magazine - Interview by Lester Kasai I currently work in the industry handling the marketing and accounts for Skate Designs Inc. An awesome company from Oceanside, California. At Skate Designs Inc. I work under my mentor and main sponsor Dale Smith. He's the man behind Smith Pads and Scabs, but now focuses his efforts on Skate Designs Skateboards in which are cruiser boards and we also offer the The #1 Knee Gasket out there, the infamous Gladiator Knee Gaskets. BIG Mahalo to my bruddah, Christian Hosoi for his inspiration, his guidance and for giving me my first break into the industry. "Keep blessing everyone that crosses your path bro." Also, another BIG Mahalo to Dale Smith who has not only helped me so much as a sponsor, but as a life and skate coach. "With all that Aloha this guy must be Hawaiian." That's it for now, see you at the parks! You Can't Bring Me Down!
