In the words of The Drums, I wanna go surfing!
If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll know I’ve just got back from an epic trip to Mammoth with my friend, Ben Kilner.
Two whole weeks of sun, beers… oh and lots of boarding! I’ve spent most my life going from hotel room to hotel room , flight to flight desperately seeking the best snow around.
This year I’ve been focusing on editorial coverage, I’ve been spending a lot more time with Monster, DC and Action Camera’s. As good as it’s been to develop those relationships it does result in me missing the snow! So, I guess you can tell what comes next… Saving!
I’m on a mission to get out to Whistler, Canada. It’s one of my favourite places to ride, it’s renown for its snowparks and its glacier. By the end of the year I intend to be able to land a double cork… without any broken bones ;-)
Riding isn’t a cheap sport, so I’ll get back to you and let you know how I get on with my trick once I’ve started saving!
In the mean time, while the snow settles, I’m setting myself the team task of working on my summer sports. I’m a massive surfing fan! I managed a cheeky long weekend in Devon last weekend to hit some waves. You can check out some of the pictures from that trip here.
It won’t come as a shock to you that I’ve had The Drum on repeat… in their words – “I wanna go surfing!” I can’t wait for the weather to pick up, second day of summer today though and it was boiling – I think it’s going to be a good few months!
Then, hello winter for some epic snow… and a double cork or two. In between the surfing and the shredding I’ll do my best to keep the blog posts coming, I can’t promise anything those as I’ll be busy learning a new trick or two and saving some more pennies for some new toys!
