10. Marissa Eveland: My Hero

Marissa Eveland

This girl can do it all. She schools me at pretty much everything fun: shortboarding, longboarding, bombing parking structures, spear fishing, riding bike, cliff jumping, cave diving... etc. 

age: 20

hometown: Mililani/Sunset Beach, O'ahu

rocking the: Love Galore!

college: Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego

major: freshly declared Liberal Studies

pets: 4 dogs (Wookie, Leah, Daisy, and Bear), 3 puppies (new litter, not yet named), 1 lamb

siblings: 4 brothers, she's #3 out of 5

favorite day of the week: nothing beats a typical Sunday at home... church, grab food, gas chambers surf session or just laying out at the beach, barbeque or kahuku superette fun for dinner and just hangin out with amazing friends and my family

Every time I'm with this girl we have an adventure. Whether we're surfing her homebreak or jumping Waimea rock in the middle of the night, I can guarantee myself some achey muscles in the morning. Marissa has got a great heart. She's patient and observant, reserved, but also has one of the best and loudest laughs I've ever heard. Cheers Marissa! 

SHAKA TO YOUR MOM.

These pictures were taken 10 minutes after we woke up and 10 minutes before we headed out to Pupukea for a 4 hour! longboard session. I had never experienced sunburn until that day. Also note the black poster behind me with M-A-R-S-S-A in pink letters. 

That's an amazing montage a la Marissa Eveland with picture of her growing up as a surf star. Her room is overflowing with contest trophies. 

i like bragging about my friends.

one more thing, kids: you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose. 

lala-love,

Miss Amy
