"I start the morning with a few bananas and a Triple Venti Mocha. Then I'll paddle from Sunset Beach to Haleiwa and back – a 15 mile, 2 and a half hour kayak in my surf ski. That’s followed by a half hour swim and a session of pushups, pull-ups and sit-ups for about 30 minutes."

Mike describing a typical morning’s workout.
