The stoke is real with young Kainoa! At 13 this kid is a stick and has the perfect smack talking attitude to back it up. Fits right in! And he wasn’t shy letting his dad know who was kicking who’s ass this afternoon. Year 2 with the boys and it gets more fun each and every time. Days like today are what it’s all about.
