Thanks to everyone that motives us to keep trying, especially to Kai Barger, Matt Meola, Kain Daly, Tanner Hendrickson and the rest of the Maui crew. Inspiration runs deep on the Valley Isle. Its amazing that so much is accomplished by such strong group of individuals on such a small part of the world.
