Arnold interview

B.H: What is surfing to you?
Arnold: Expression of lifestyle, it means everything to me.

B.H: How long have you been surfing?
Arnold: I have been surfing for 25 years. I was 12 when I started surfing. Before that we would use boogie & paipo wood boards in Ewa beach. Haubush, Lots and canals is where I started. This sewage pipe ran out to the reef in the boogie/paipo days. We had a big back yard where we would camp & Max Madieros brought me to the north shore to surf Velzyland and west side at Yokohama bay. I traveled with Buttons and he set me up with Local Motion before 9-11-2001. We took a trip to Austarlia and visited Surfer's Paradise to Byron's Bay & ended up in Bondi. We were suppose to be in Western Austrailia but my friend broke his ankle and we ended up hanging out and ending the trip at Sydney.
