This guy is not part of #teamgivinithell. If he really wanted to give it hell, he would’ve done a floater.
# teamgivinithell So, we should’ve been in Central America — that’s the place for south swells, but I fucked it up. I was right in the #getshitdone part of planning a trip down there when I accidentally went on a party bender up in LA and failed to finalize any kind of crew or location. Let me tell you though, I raged and I don’t regret a minute of it: Dillon Perillo’s 21st birthday at Voyeur, a Texas-themed party for Cisco Adler’s wife Barbara (one of our Swimsuit Issue models) in Malibu, and closed it out with an allyou-can-drink Patron/Grey Goose/Belevedere night at Colony thanks to my friend Nick Severt. Very fun stuff and for sure better than planning a trip out of the country. So in California I stayed, and decided I was gonna give this swell the most hell anyone has ever given. When you’re face to face with a super hyped south swell (or any swell in Southern California), you should pretty much throw expectations out the window. Actually, just expect the waves to suck, and if you get anything decent at all you will be psyched. Just give it hell and see what happens. Blake Jones is a lifelong best friend and shares the overall hell-giving attitude needed to be a partner on this mission. Together we hit the road at 4:30am last Thursday. Bags packed, no schedule, ready for anything to come flying down the middle so we could knock that bitch out of the park. Here’s a little documentation of our journey, which honestly kicked ass. Big thanks to all the homies we met up with. You are all now part of #teamgivinithell for life. —Jimmicane

Chase Wilson lives on 54th St. He’s the main loc and if you ever see his house you know he is #notbattling.
Blake Jones on a windswell. South swell filling in behind him.
Big Thursday! Cody Thompson hunting the 2012 XXL award at 54th.
You would think Ale Moreda would be on the bomb and Cody boosting a slob, but no!
Damien Hobgood once called Fisher Heverly “Fisherly.” It stuck.
Not sure this was even a surf spot. It was just a rock slab to closeout on sand. Brian Toth gave it hell though.
Blake takes a 99-cent shower.

Kelly wanted in on #teamgivinithell so he texted Blake some words we later had to look up in the online dictionary.
