Patagonian Adventure

This video from Kepa Acero via VSTR.com has been catching some attention on the webs lately. I can see why. It's pretty much the reason we go on missions like this one. Treasure! Nice work Kepa.

The Denali Experiment

Check this video of Lucas Debari & Sage Cattabriga-Alosa summitting Denali last spring during a North Face expedition.

Here it comes...

I'm not really ready for winter yet. Looks like it's coming early ready or not.

Check out the Duffey today:

Duff!

Last but not least of the Living Legends from Push.ca - Dufficy!

Dew Bowl

Check out the bowl the Dew Tour has this year.

Holy shite! Skating is radder than ever!

The tour will be in Portland in August. Good excuse for a summer road trip.

The Living Legends series continues over at Push.ca with Kale Stephens. Check it right here or over there.

Chilean Volcano Goes Off

Surreal pic from the volcanic eruption going on in Chile over the last few days. This is the same volcano Shin, Lucas, Xavier, DCP and crew tackled last summer with splitboards.

There's a good collection of eruption pics here.

Red Fang

Red Fang make videos that are worth making. I love this.

Living Legends

Push.ca has been posting a series of videos they call Living Legends. Each video takes a look at a snowboarder or skateboarder from back in the day who's still in the game somehow today. I've been helping them out with interviews lately. Dennis Bannock was the first to get posted a while back. Check out the latest edit with Shin:

Keep checking Push.ca for new posts every couple of weeks. Or maybe check back here. Gawd that site's hard to get around.

Bones Brigade

Check out Glen E. Friedman's posts on Peralta's latest documentary. Looks amazing. Can't wait to see it.

"In case you haven't heard, Stacy Peralta (former Z-Boy and more recently award winning film maker) has begun his latest documentary, looking back on the crew that got him to pick up the video camera for the first time. A film that is going to take a look at the years and lives of the original "Bones Brigade" that he so masterfully put together in the late 70's and the through the 80's, as well as the time and the sport itself, what it went through and how it survived a complete commercial breakdown and then flourished."

Burn Units

Gigi and bros lighting up the night. Dig it.

Xavier & Lucas in Japan

Check out this recent Time Line trip to Japan with De Le Rue & Debari. Looks like they scored. From what I'm hearing, everyone is scoring over there this year.

Orca Surf

I know, I know. It's almost Christmas, I should be posting about snow and all my plans for the season. But I'm not. I didn't get over to Vancouver Island this fall for my surf pilgrimage so I've been fairly obsessed with waves lately. Last month these pics of orcas surfing in NZ got uploaded to the interwebs.

Photos by Michael Cunningham. More pics here.

They reminded me that I had some video from an NZ trip of an orca doing the same. Well not quite the same. This recent session had much better waves. I had been meaning to dig out that old miniDV tape and digitize it for a while. So here it is.

Hope you're all getting some waves (frozen or otherwise) wherever you are.

Perfect Beer Commercial

Mexican waves & beers. I think Taylor Steele just made the perfect beer commercial.

This one's for Tom.
