Bonifay Banter Ep. 011 - Sam Brown and Luca Kidd - La Familia Edition 2
La Familia is back in the studio this time its Bro Stock Champ (Luca Kidd) and the Australian Wizard (Sam Brown).  Luca just won Bro Stock a few weeks ago and its amazing to hear the boys talk about how it all when down, the feeling that comes from winning Brostock, and what it means to him to finally get a well deserved win. Sam Brown tells us about some good Aussie stories and what La familia means to him. There is also a little 15 min intermission where we have the latest pro-tour winner Maxime Roux also part of the la familia crew in the studio to tell us how that went down and what it feels like wining his first pro event.  Guinness’s were drank, stories were told, and parks and Shane had such a good time with the la familia crew on this episode of Bonifay Banter

-The Bonifay Banter 

 It was so damn fun hanging with Daniel Mlies and Massi Piffaretti from the wake crew, La Familia. We dove into some mind-bending tricks they think could be winning contests a decade from now. We also chatted about the new lake house Tyler Higham just snagged down in Winter Haven, Florida AKA the new La Familia headquarters !
Daniel, who’s the mastermind behind the camera and produces all their contention see from La Familia , he offers a real unique perspective on the crew. And during our chat, Massi whipped up some custom massi drinks for a halftime treat. Trust me, this is one you’ll want to listen to and watch over on YouTube. Daniel even shared some wild footage  that really gives color and  bring their crazy ass stories to life.

See you in the studio.
