After our morning workout on the third day of the Top Coach trip Tony Horton told us a story about getting approached on the plane ride from California to Hawaii by a guy in a hooded sweatshirt and dark sunglasses. Tony said this guy came up to him and was like “Are you Tony.” “Yes,” says Tony. The guy continues on with something like “I’ve got my whole crew doing the P90X workout and its awesome.” Tony did not know who this guy was until he introduced himself as Rob Dyrdek. Here is Tony talking about meeting him.
I’m guessing Tony does not watch Fantasy Factory or he would of known who Rob was. I watch it when ever I can and would love to get on the tennis ball launcher sometime. I really enjoy how he turns the fun he has with his life into a business. Every time I watch the show I’m mentally taking notes about how I could do what he does and make it apart of my life.
We heard that Rob was in Kauai with Laird Hamilton shooting some upcoming episodes for Fantasy Factory. They were trying to teach skaters how to do tow-in-surfing. From what I saw when I was there I don’t know how good the waves were for that. I only remember one day where I saw jet skis pulling people into waves and those were not that great from my view. Robs Twitter account and Lairds website confirm the lack of waves.
On our last night at the St. Regis a fellow Beachbody Coach told me that Rob was in the restaurant eating with Laird and that he got his photo with him. I walked down to the restaurant with Andrea to take a look and sure enough he was there. Rob was eating already and I decided to not interrupt making me an A-Hole. Being rude is not my style. So I snapped this photo instead. Its not a great one but you can see him. The wall got in the way blocking Laird.
