Craig Kelly

Here's one of my favorite photos. My brother took it years ago. A huge blow up of this shot hung in his living room (well, Don's living room) in Whistler for years. Nine years ago we lost one of snowboarding's greats. Maybe the greatest. Cheers Craig!

“Nothing beats snowboarding at a mountain that offers the right lines. Whether it’s hopping rocks, jumping cliffs, board-sliding the nearest strip of metal or wood, simply carving a nice bank or popping an air over a small knoll, freeriding is where it’s at. Whenever the conditions allow, my snowboarding objective is to use the mountain to its fullest potential.” –Craig Kelly

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.

Kelly Slater clinches his 11th World Title at the Rip Curl event in San Francisco. Has any athlete ever dominated a sport like this?

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:

Today was the last day of summer. Seems like it barely got going and then it was done. I managed to get back to the Island at the beginning of the month for a few days of camping on the beach. The weather was perfect. Pretty much sunny and warm the entire time. Oh - and waves too. Thank you Surftember.

Ready for the hike to the beach.

Beach camp.

Mid morning beach walk.

The locals were around, but we never met.

Oh ya - waves too!

Beautiful and empty.

Five days later.

Duff!

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