Around 6:30 carne asada hit the grill and the Colapinto fam stormed Stance HQ.  

Among them was Uncle Rocco, the first strand of Colapinto DNA to ever hit the water. A natural promoter, Rocco took the stage and corralled all 500 guests in preparation for the start of Griffin and Crosby’s profile film, DNA: The Colapinto Brothers.

Rocco absolutely firing

Legions of rugrats swarmed the swag table to score DNA swag. Displays of strength and grom superiority were encouraged and rewarded with extra raffle tickets.

The DJ set flared and Tolago cans faced certain demise— shirt sleeves were soaked digging for the cherry flavor. 

A good afternoon for a session at Lowers

At sunset, the crowd moved into the viewing room. Griffin and Crosby posed with TikTok influencers and raffled off boards to the groms. Mitch Colapinto even encouraged a few vocal performances. Every-time surf theatric went live, voices cheered loud enough to shake the five freeway.

This grom did 65 push-ups for three extra tickets

The party continued at Landers, the local tavern, where the boys had a dance or five.

Meanwhile, those less rhythmically inclined partook in a timed foot race around the bar, which was elbow to elbow. Photographer Billy Watts took home the gold, setting a 25-second record. 

The best ever Wednesday at Landers

The doors closed shortly after ‘Fergalicious’ was requested and subsequently played by the disc jockey.
