What do you know about bro tanks?

Just spent the last week in Maui... it was amazing, nuff said.

A few things to sum it all up:
- Swam in the Pacific Ocean for the first time
- I showered once the whole trip, unless you count the showers at the beaches (Brigham didn't shower once, I let him down)
- I went surfing and discovered that my shoulders are not in any shape to do so
- I love snorkeling even though I didn't see turtles at turtle town (saw them at other places though)
- I wore the same outfit everyday the whole trip consisting of board shorts and a bro tank
- That same bro tank's outline is sun burned on my chest
- If water gets in your sinus cavity it will flow out at any random time no matter who's watching
- Saw humped back whales full on breaching over and over again
- Helped the rest of the crew limit their vocabulary to "bro", "statement", "fact" and "what do you know about..."
- Went on the Rambo and the Bamboo hikes consisting of swimming through dark caves, rock climbing, jumping and tripping off water falls (scared a few people with that one)
- Picked up a hitch hiker.
- Drove/rallied the road to Hana
- Watch the sunrise from the top of the world
- Got rocked by 10 ft + breaks on Big Beach
- Avoided Little Beach
- Ate Hawaiian BBQ
- Went to church and saw the congregation sing and say good by to a family moving away (Sheena cried)
- Watched Kham snorkel with his iPhone in his pocket at Molokini
- Ate taro pie
