JAWS TO JACKSON
This past week big wave charger’s Ian Walsh and his younger twin brothers, Shaun and DK were in Jackson. These guys push the limits of the sport riding the biggest waves on the planet and it was awesome to see them stoked on shredding. We got after it riding the tram, sled shredding and scored a day of cat boarding at Grand Targee thanks to TGR… good times for sure!

Beach Happy 1993
When I got back from Chile I had a nice surprise on my desk among the stacks of junk mail and bills. Wooly sent me this original copy of Beach Happy. This was our So Cal “scene zine” back in the day… brings back some fun memories for sure.

Peaks to Pointbreaks… Chile 2012 Part 1
Transitions for days
Down days never looked so good
Chile has the best of both worlds… A land of parallel mountains and coastline.
I left Jackson predawn to make the drive to Salt Lake to catch my afternoon flight to Chile. 2 sunrises and 2 sunsets later we (Curtis Ciszek, Seth Huot, Blair Habenicht, Scott Sullivan and I) arrived in our home base in southern Chile. I watched the first sunrise over the desolate Wyoming landscape and go down durring a layover in Dalles TX, rise again in Santiago as we were landing, and set again near the end of our drive south.
Our main objective was to shoot the 2013 Volcom Outerwear. We we’re prepared for that as well as for getting in the water on the event of a down day. We brought our standard riding gear, backcountry gear, including Mountain approach skis, verts (snowshoes) surfboards & wetsuits, rented two 4×4 rigs and had no plan other than being on it when and where the snow was good and go coastal when it wasn’t. Our luck was good as we arrived to the first clear day after a significant storm dropped around 3 feet of new snow in the mountains. We got to bed early exhausted from the long days traveling excited for the days to come.

Summer sucks…
Not really, but I miss riding powder.
Here’s a page from the new TWS September 2012
These next few photos were taken on a really cold day in April. Travis Rice, Dustin Rasnick and I hit up the Snake when the spring run off just got going. In between snow flurries we rode the wave and avoided hypothermia by the fire.

Back to my roots
The vast pacific breaking on arid land. Burning skies, hot concrete and saltwater. Home for next few months visiting family and friends where I grew up.
A sharp contrast from the shade of the Tetons.
