Notable:
Thumper won the ASA Am Vert title in 2002. Already in 2003, he has finished in the top ten at two major MSS comps. When he is not skating, he works in a skate park and sells seaweed to stores for extra money. Thumper is his real name; it dates back to before his birth, because he kicked so much.

"Being a vert skater in Hawaii is pretty tough because nobody else here skates vert."
