VicCity and Article

I am currently sleeping on Brandon Wrights couch while writing/shooting for an article that will hopefully be ran in Foreverskim Mag. Yesterday myself and Brandon hooked up with photographer Jacob Gilchrist at Gonzales beach for some knee high wave action. From the sounds of it he got some pretty killer shots. Saturday we are headed up to Port Renfrew for a swell session. So far myself, Bradon, Tron, Hattie, and Mike J are slotted to head north. There could be a few others who are joining us.

Here is one picture of Brandon I snapped while riding at Gonzo.


Until next time

Surrey Living

The sun has been out way too much to blog on a regular basis. I have been riding my bike and skim tons lately. Life has been pretty good.

I have got a few co-workers on skimboarding. Through teaching them the basics I have been spreading the stoke.

Peace and love ya'll spread the skim stoke.

THIS WEEKEND!

Wish I could go, but I have to work. It is going to be a hoedown of a throwdown!

Whitaker Delivers (Again)

An epic session with Scott. Thanks to Mo for coming out and snapping some photos. It was a super sketchy tide, as fist sized rocks were sticking out of the shore break. But the wind swell was up, so we could not resist.

Check Akwa Industries for more photos. They should be uploaded onto the blog tonight or sometime tomorrow. Here are two gems from today:

Day off

Today was a good day. Long story short I got the day off work. Tide was low around 1 in the afternoon. I headed down to a spot suggested by Kyle Lynch (Tydle Mag) on SkimBC. It was definitely worth the drive! Free parking with little to no traffic, cannot ask for much else. Furthermore there were more tidal pools than you could hope for! I scoped a few pools and decided to set up my set my jibs. I brought down a little rail and a 3 foot piece of PVC pipe to session.

The session started poorly. It was one of those days when you wish you stayed at home, as frustration mounted as I could not keep my board below my own two feet. Bails were a frequent event.

After having a lunch break I decided to stick it out and keeping chugging along like the Little Engine The Could. Finally I started landing tricks. It felt so good to persevere through my initial frustrations. Ended up dialling-in my backside and front side tricks on my box.

Anyways, I unfortunately have to work tomorrow. Will post a few pictures tomorrow!
Nighty night.

Whitaker Super Post

YO yo yiggidity yo

We had an epic session on the Sunshine Coast last week. I noticed the wind warnings mid-week, and boy did they deliver. Check out the Akwa Industries Team Blog for all the photos, but here are a few of my favs. Props to Casselman for coming out and shooting.
