Wetsuit Explosion
When i started surfing i bought wetsuits that were on sale, discounted or via some deal. It’s crazy how expensive wetsuits cost and until win the lottery, i’m gonna stick with the same cheap program despite “you get what you pay for.” One of the first wetsuits i bought was an Xcel 5/4/3 Infinity. For [...]
No Leash, No Skill, No Clothes, and Blood
The other week while sarfing down in Mexico myself and half our surf-gang were eating lunch at a local restaurant. Mid-chow some gal rolled through the restaurant and asked if any of us spoke English. I thought it kinda odd to ask us if we spoke English since we were yapping loudly and pretty American [...]
How To Ruin Surfing For Yourself
I’ve meet people who have surfed all over the world. Some have been lucky enough to live in places with warm water and consistent good waves. When we’ve talked about PNW surf there’s always some comment about how lame wearing a wetsuit is, or the cold water, or the shitty surf, or the long drives. [...]
Things I Did Not Need To See Before a Surf Trip
Probably could have done without seeing the following things right before going on a Mexican surf trip: …and the video below from this post on GrindTV. ps. AND i’m flying out on Friday the 13th. Crap…

Summit East Expansion Update
The guys/gals at the Summit at Snoqualmie are ripping right along getting Hyak (aka Summit East) back in business for winter 2010/11. Two new chairlifts, one of which will be replacing the old Dinosaur Chair are slated to be open this coming winter. The two new chairs will “provide access to 150 acres of skiing [...]
Crystal Mountain Park Logo Design Contest!
Crystal Mountain is calling their new jib only park that will be open this winter 2010/11 the Sasquatch Jib Park. To commemorate this complete 180° they’re having a design contest to come up with a park logo. I’m guessing they’re low on funding, because unless you hire some fresh-outta-college-kid, graphic design work isn’t typically cheap. [...]
La Niña Update
The Climate Prediction Center/NCEP just put out an updated La Niña report. Still up in the air, but according to most of the models, it’s looking like we’re headed for a ‘moderate to strong’ La Niña winter. The temp/precip impacts for the US are typically weak during the summer/fall but are slated to ‘strengthen considerably’ [...]
Lapidas. Otra Vez.
Myself and a handful of friends are heading to Mexico in a couple weeks. Same place i went last mex trip. Managed to use miles i’ve been collecting for a few years to get a ticket for free. Pretty rad. Pretty lucky. Really stoked! Swell looks promising. Or at least it’s been pretty damn consistent. [...]
