About the Channel
What do you get when you mix a camera, a WRX STI, and a surfboard?
This channel documents my journey—building my car, learning to surf, and capturing the process through photography and real-world reviews.
It’s about progress, passion, and figuring things out one step (or wipeout) at a time.
Expect videos on:
🚗 Subaru WRX STI mods, installs, and maintenance
📸 Hands-on gear reviews & creative photography
🏄♂️ Beginner surf updates from LA’s beaches
🎥 Life lessons, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the occasional win
If you’re chasing the fun of figuring things out—you’re in the right place. Subscribe and join the ride.

I think I have a problem… 😂
First it was a down pipe.
Then headers.
Now an up pipe.
At this point, I think I’m just going through a pipe line. 🤦♂️😂(dadJoke)
New video is up! 👀🔥 https://youtu.be/2Zh7W6DIfn4

I DID IT AGAIN… 😂
So naturally… I bought headers. 🤦♂️
The video is up! I show you what I picked up, why I chose them, and what’s next for the STI.

OH MY GOSH 😂 I am SO glad I had the other camera rolling as a second angle because the main camera was completely out of focus! 😭
Would’ve been a VERY different video without that backup camera 😂📸
