What are "your" kids up to?
Greg's son, Pat's nephew,
Matt Holzman puts on a commendable performance for his first time surfing huge Pipeline at the 2012 IBA Pipeline Challenge. Matt was scoring 9.7's and 10's and pulling last few seconds "hat tricks" advancing through to the 6th round. He pulled a 10 in his last heat but wasn't able to manage a second score to back it up.

Agree with the rock, epic Matt
Wonder where he learned that!! Not in Ireland, but on the other green islands. We're growing surf champs like the Cuba grows baseball players.
Go Matt.
