Not the wake up call I was expecting this morning. This one was much better. Ramil and his wife Carmen are now the parents of a happy, healthy little baby boy. Huge congrats on the new addition guys, I know you’re totally stoked.

I got the call about 10 minutes ago (it’s around 8:30am) and Ramil’s never sounded happier. Carmen gave birth at 2:45 this morning after about 45 minutes of natural labor. He said she was a real trooper everything went well, she’s already up and walking around giddy as hell. Just like she should be.

I can’t wait to meet the little guy. He’s gonna be outsurfing us all in about 5 years. Ramil’s already said he’s going to be on a board in 6 months. Yeah, us surfers are crazy.

So, welcome to the world little Manrichi and the biggest congratulations to the Manrichi family! I wish you guys all the happiness in the world with this little guy. Ramil, you better get used to getting around 2 hours of sleep every night.
