The gig was up this year as Cory Lopez, Julian Wilson and Kolohe Andino we’re all on the traction company Blackline that just, we’ll we don’t know the exact details but everyone has moved on.
Kolohe Andino today signed on with the San Clemente brand Astrodeck owned and operated by the Fletcher family (Herbie, Dibi, Christian, Nathan and Gresyon).
Who broke the news to us? Sent from her iphone while bronzing in the sun. “Kolohe make sure you cover that pretty face with sunscreen now before you go for a surf”.
The list of surfers would be endless who have ridden the Astrodeck pad.
