  • Costa Rica, Part 3 – Tamarindo/San Jose

    Costa Rica, Part 3 – Tamarindo/San Jose

    Otter and i had a few days left on the Costa trip.  Rather than stay in Mal Pais, we devised a plan to drive to Samara. Getting from Mal Pais to Samara during the rainy season (of which we were in the tail end) required driving quite a ways inland and around a little mtn. [...]

    Costa Rica, Part 2 – Mal Pais/Santa Teresa

    After about four days in one place i started getting antsy and decided to bail.  Pavones was hands down the mellowest place we hit on the Costa trip–and leaving when it was overhead didn’t seem right but we bailed anyways. Alex the taxi guy picked us up at 4am and we b-lined it to the [...]

I know math is hard so here’s a handy table i calc’d that breaks down estimated cost to various surf spots in WA, OR based on [...]

  • Doodfest in the High Sierras

    Doodfest in the High Sierras

    I had the insane opportunity to go on a “work trip” for VholdR Cameras to the Sierras and do some snow camping with Snowboarder Mag and Leeward Cinemas during their shooting of “My Own Two Feet”, a full length feature snowboard film. It’s a Eco conscience film that doesn’t use snowmobiles, chairlifts or heli’s, hence [...]

  • Oahu Surf Recap

    Oahu Surf Recap

    The Oahu trip was so fun. I’ve never been to the Northshore before so it was all new to me. Most of the people on the trip (12 dudes) had been there before and/or grew up there so we pretty much had the place on lock. The one thing that wasn’t on lock though was [...]

    Well boys and girls, it’s been an amazing winter so far. Tons of pow and epic days in the mountains. So good that surfing has been nowhere on my radar. I did manage to go surfing a few weeks ago and noticed that i’ve pretty much lost all upper body

    Erizo de Mar and Olas

    I was lucky enough to go to Mexico for a little surfing last week. The wife and I were staying in Troncones just north of Ixtapa. There was good weather, and good waves. On the third day I went out for an afternoon session. It was smaller, and the take off point was in the [...]
