Check out my brother Jason’s latest shed project…. a fat 5’2′ twin fin surfboard…. I think it looks beautiful and love the Loveism logo he designed.
“I cant rave about it too much yet as I haven’t had good waves on it yet.
But pretty stoked for a first foam board.
5’2” x 21 1/2 x 2 1/2
outline is kinda George Greenough kneeboard x bob simmons
Foil, rails and fins bob simmons inspired (s deck, pinched rails, hull entry, chimed rails)
hense the name is an anagram of sim (mons) and VELO (georges kneeboard)”

Even though Rory didn’t keep to the contracted leaving time (two hours late) haha… yesterday was still and epic tour in Rogers Pass with Keith, Rory and a couple more. We toured straight up Balu Pass and then carried on behind and skied down to the highway. I’ve not been getting out touring too much lately and am not very tour fit, so was wrecked by the end of the day. Here are some photos from the journey. Merry Christmas people.

Not Balu Pass but sunset from Revelstoke resort the other day

Getting dark as we reach the highway. Tired, cold, hungry, happy

In the last month I’ve gone from mountain biking and hiking to hiking and skiing. The hiking pics below are from the Hermit hike in Rogers Pass, where a month later we would be skiing knee deep pow at the same elevation. Oh Canada….

Had an amazing last month filled with hiking biking, Salmon Arm Roots and bules, good food, people and weather. The start of summer was a bit rainy but eh last 6-7 weeks have been amazing. So here are some random photos from missions during the last month…
