Kolohe Andino’s Lowers Photo Journal – Day One

Last week, we had superstar Kolohe ‘Brother’ Andino give us the rundown on his home break, Lower Trestles, and who he thought would win this year’s Hurley Pro there. Awesome kid that he is, Brother’s now kindly agreed to flow Stab a daily photo journal from the event. He may have missed out on a spot in the contest, but he’s been hanging in the competitor’s area, watching all the action and firing off a few intimate photographs with his iPhone for us. Seems that his talents don’t just lie in decimating lips, huh? All photos by Kolohe Andino. The two Lowers locals on tour, Patty Gudauskas and Brett Simpson, watching with Mitch Crews. Brett don’t look too impressed with Kolohe’s paparazzi steeze. Patty Gudang again, readying ze gear. Now that’s focus. Parko does the media thang and Jadson washes his sled after their round one battle (of which Joel was victor). Julian Wilson, post-win. Kid dominated round one with the highest combined heat score. Kolohe gots a good eye, no? Owen Wright, the man who could, who may, put a stop to Kelly Slater’s world title dominance, warming up dem long legs.
