k.s.

the best pool skater EVER to emerge from the
hi. islands: k.s.
his natural talent and instinct to conquer any concrete bowl has set the benchmark for all to follow. no pool too steep, he has the "spider man" super power to climb anything. still on top of his game. original team: alva, cutter trucks, bikefactory, jams & h.s.p. our brother for decades.

cheers,
RHPS
