SXA Backyard BBQ in Mililani

Mililani is to Hawaii what Long Beach is to So Cal. Especially when it comes to skateboarding. There's a lot of humble underground talent who have quietly made an impact far outside of Hawaii whether it be from skateboarding, music, building motorcycles, surfing, or whatevs. Some of my favs that come to mind are Dyson Ramones, Jarold Webb, Sancho, Darin Lee, Ian Okui, Emil Lacuesta, and Willy Fruean. This past Tuesday we held an SXA BBQ at the Mililani Skatepark for my friend Rex Sakamoto who now lives in Oregon as well as for Marshy as he makes his way to the OC to further pursue his tattoo career.

Dyson and The Marsh Man!

The BBQ was just to be a small kine midweek pupu kine shin dig for these guys but it ended up being a little bigger than we thought. When I showed up to the park it was completely full and there was no parking. When I asked what was going on my friend told me that everyone was here for the BBQ. WTF? I wasn't prepared for this! It seems that some of the younger homies got excited and spread the word via FB and other social media avenues. In the end we were able to feed almost eveyone. Some more than others but it's all good. I heard the term "No aku birds" yelled out at one point and had to laugh! Goodtimes as usual!

SXA Delroy!

SXA's newest member Braddah Keegs aka Keegan Sakamoto. This braddah is gonna rip on a skateboard or maybe even a surfboard when he grows up. His daddy and his Uncle Basil are both rippers!

This was all I prepared for the hundreds of people that showed up for the BBQ. Everybody had to share one stick!
It almost turned out to be an SXA camping sesh as you can see by the blankets in the background. Big mahalos to Kellie Cabral for showing face. Kellie was visiting from SF and heard stories about how ono the food was from the SXA BBQ so she decided to stop in and see for her self! Have a safe trip back Kellie!
