Brothers of SKill part II









The Joyce Brothers
  Its the JJ Family ...Mom, Judy Joyce .......Dad,Jack Joyce....1st son, James Joyce
.......2nd son John Joyce and I heard they're good friend's with JJ Evans as well.
Can I say support, this family is more then supportive of each other. Both son, when
asked, credited their family members when i asked who influenced and supported you.
Both brothers, credit each other for pushing each other in the water. James 20 is toughing
it out in Wilmington ,NC , studying at Cape Fear  and aims to get a degree in Marine Sciences.
John is 14 and one cool lil guy to watch and watch them both grow up is what we did.John has 
been a sponsored bodyboarder since he was 10 when him and his brother were picked up
by Custom X Bodyboards.They were noticed for their skill level and mellow disposition .
John and James both shred the gnar on the Bodyboard and on the skim .Both sponsored
Viper Fins and both are sponsored by Skim City, SlotStick. Lil John has gather support 
As well Skiming from Xtrak and Everglide and recently picked up for his boogie skills by
158 Surf N Skate.Both have been elected as ESA AllStar, James a few years back took two
trips to AUS with the allstar team and lil brother is following right behind him.Both plan
to take Skimming and BBing as far as they can.Both can be seen fishing right next to their 
father when not riding.Both log in heaps of hours at the beach all spring ,summer, and fall.
Both are very decorated competitors when it comes to skimming and Bodyboarding. Both
will carry the flag for the ones who came before them,Jason Woodall, Ryan Rhodes,Eric Drexler
Evan Foster,Bob Hovey, And even Space Cadet Chris Bean will all sit back and watch proudly
watch as they take it to the next level and inspire new up and comers such as themselves, for
there couldn't be better candidates then them.Proper Attitude and lack of ego has made them
superior family members , fishermen, riders, and ultimately WATERMEN.If you aim to have 
Kill Devil Skills.......you need to pay attention to these two!!!

Skills On Wheels...........Mikey Weeks




Skills On Wheels FOols.........

Mikey Weeks is one filthy Bastard from Kill Devill Hills,NC!!!!
this guy is a  staple in the diet of local talent.If there were
ever statues made for local ability and Super Hero Status ,Mikey
Weeks Would surely Have one and it would be unbreakable like
him. This guy may be able to set records when it comes to how 
many serious injuries one can endure and still rip with full function.
Mikey has grotesque medical bills, Hell you could probably call him
the Million Dollar Man. I've really have never met anyone who has sustained
the amount of pain and healing and still gets back out there and pushes it
just as hard as he did before injury. To be honest, Others are probably more
concerned about his next injury then he is, He doesn't let those kind of thoughts
into his head and that is what confidence is all about, Not anticipating the
possible negative outcome.  Socially, Mikey is celebrated , For he always 
brings the stoke and kid out in everyone. Mikey could care less if you think
he is silly , he's here to enjoy life and live it to it's fullest daily. His skills are
not limited to wheels though , he is also recognized as one of the best skimboarders here locally as well as avid waterman on
the longboard or shortboard.His good friends know he ain't scared to bust out the BoogieBoard or shred the bodysurf  . If  the
art of having fun was a martial art ,Mikey would Be a Shaolin Warrior........................
Wu-Tang!!!!!!!!!!!!!
