Following his release from prison on a drug conviction from 2000, Christian Hosoi takes to the sky in his home state of Hawai’i.

I predict big things from Mr. Hosoi with his renewed energy, new focus and a newfound appreciation for freedom. When Christian started skating—before he became an icon in the 80s—he skated for fun. If you look at the above photo, you can tell he remembers that.

If you’re old like me and you prefer to skate something a little bigger than a popsicle stick, support Holmes and order this board. I’m going to. I did and those bastards still haven’t shipped it. I even paid for two day shipping so it would be here by the weekend. Fuck!
