Let's face it...half the reason we're tombombs is, not only the inspirationl women, but the very influential boys and men in our lives. I for example, have been blessed to have been raised not only by my fabulous, tombomb-original mother (click company for more), but also by my dad...a man's man who, when handed his daughter at birth, decided she could do anything her older brother could do...if she wanted to. He was there to teach me anything I wanted to learn; how to play catcher, ride a dirtbike, shoot a gun, shoot hoops, tie the most awesome knot in the world (that's a trucker's knot), and ... bake. We baked brownies, popovers, cookies, portuguese sweet bread, and last but not least..the ever-popular Christmas bundt cakes. Seriously...we take some of our best traits from the men that have helped us along the way. I've been lucky to have, not only a radical dad, but my brother is my best friend and my favorite person to idea-launch with on coffee benders. And bonus! I married one of the most handsome, lovely men on earth, who encourages me to charge big waves and opens the door for me too. Let's hear it for the boys! (PS. This photo is of all the manly men that came out to support us at the last Tombomb Wahine Classic!)
