Last week I got to surf with one of the most famous surfers in history- Mickey Munoz! He is now 70 years old and 100% on board with Pipeline to a Cure!
Mickey and I got to hang out and chat about my life with CF, he asked a lot of questions and wanted to hear all about the disease since he will be promoting it. I also got to hear some cool stories from all his surfing adventures and all of where life has taken him- what a cool guy! He was the first guy to surf Pipeline in Hawaii and is one of surfings biggest legends, I feel so honored to have surfed with him, wow.
I am so glad he will be involved with our event and I was blessed to get to know him- he was so down to earth, and has a huge heart, not to mention he rocks out in the water (thanks to Casey for letting me borrow his board so I could try and keep up with Mickey as he caught some awesome waves- it was fun to try a longboard!!)
Maybe i'll get to paddle out with him again soon, he's pretty awesome :)
