Nine-year-old grommet takes us on a Hawaiian adventure most kids (and adults) can only dream about.

INTRO: Like most surf obsessed grommets Kyuss King lives to ride waves. When told he was going to Hawaii for a holiday Kyuss took it upon himself to write a blog each day he was away. It was a big deal going to Hawaii you see – not just because of his young age – but because he was staying with 1988 world champion Barton Lynch. So from base camp at BL’s house (nestled behind Sunset Beach) join us daily as Kyuss takes us on a fun filled Hawaiian adventure most kids (and adults) can only dream about.

Note for Parents: This is a grommet specific 10 part summer holiday special with totally kid safe content.

Name: Kyuss King // Age: 9 // From: Byron Bay // Thoughts on girls: Rascal’s // Fav wave: The Pass and Duranbah // Fav surfer: Bruce Irons // Starsign: Gemini // Results: Under 9’s Club Champion 2009 / 1st BL’S Blast Off / Oddity: Wide cartoon character like feet.

DAY 2 – Rock Piles

Big sleep in till 10am… super jet lagged… All of us.
As Barton had told me the waves had built all night and were pumping with solid 6 – 8 foot sets at some magnet spots, we road our bikes and checked all the breaks down to Rock Piles. Rock Piles was pumping so we stopped there and watched some locals charging some pitching 6 – 8 footers… Heavy waves…  Not ready for that yet.

The waves and Rocks of Rock Piles making Kyuss look very small.

My brother Rasmus was going around collecting all the broken boards at Rock Piles… Our room is all ready full of them.

I had an accident on the bike on Day 1 and the sore from it had gotten infected and was getting worse all day… Mum and dad freaked when they saw it and we spent the rest of the day driving around trying to see a Doctor around the Haleiwa area… No doctors could see me.

Dad was freaking and wanted to get it sorted and checked… We ended up back at the House and Bartons mate called “Buddy” took me and Dad to the emergency Hospital in Kahuku, we were there for a while, got checked and got some antibiotics, the doctor said it was going to be OK and said I could still surf – I was stoked and we headed back home.
9.30pm baked beans and straight to bed…. Dad hit the beers in relief.
