Surfboard #2 Revival Part 1
I made a surfboard a few years ago that turned out like shit. Over ambition, lack of skill, and no patients all pretty much doomed Surfboard#2 from the get-go. The intent was to make a shortboard that was maneuverable but still had plenty of float for my fat ass. The board was born out of a [...] -
Pre-T-Day Face Shots
Holy hell shred was on this weekend. Pow pow and pow. So much pow, dudes were pulling all nighter drives up from Jackson Hole, sleeping in parking lots for Saturday am Stevens Pass pow missions. That’s core. I’m pretty sure the Northwest is the epicenter of snowboarding right now. It’s been a few years since i’ve logged [...] -

Mt. Baker Opening Day 2009

Baker’s opening day yesterday was no novelty. The mountain opened up with 60 some inches of a base, and sunny, bird conditions. There was plenty of snow coverage. Ya really didn’t have [...] -

The Stoke After the Storm
Man, last weekend was nutz. Some of the best surf i’ve ever had. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same. Saw a bunch of my friends get the _________ (pick an adjective) wave ever. Ear to ear smile, high5’s, and a lotta stoke. The pics i do have don’t do a bit of justice. [...] -
Maui Trip
Myself and a handful of friends hit Maui for a wedding/Halloween/surf mission. This time of year, the northside of the island is really the only side that gets swell. Nic, JR, Brock, SeanBro and myself all stuck to Ho’okipa which is about a 15 min drive east of the airport (JOJ). We surfed it [...]
