Repairing my Akwa City

My Buddy: Frederico

When I was traveling in Portugal I met this guy named Fredi. I was sleeping on the train headed to Lisbon, minding my own business, and one of my travel buddies ended up chatting him up. In turn, we ended up crashing at his place in Lisbon for a few nights. He was a fab guy to stay with, showing us the ins and outs of Portugal's capital. It was an amazing few days the say the least.

Myself Alan Fredi and Kevin in Lisbon

At the time Fredi was working on getting into a Swedish visual arts school. He showed his bits and pieces of his growing portfolio, it was super impressive. The quality and originality of his new work far exceeds any expectation. I suggest you checking out his website, it will not disappoint: http://blankvisual.com

Where Have I Been?

It has been almost a month since I last updated. Tons has happened since then. I packed up my life in Victoria at the end of April and moved to Surrey to live with family for the summer. My family lives in 'BirdLand' near the Guilford Mall. I would rather be on the Island for the summer, but I got a wicked job working with Dillon Consulting doing salmon habitat restoration. It turns out that Crescent Beach is only 15 minutes from where I work, so I intend on skimming lots after work. Below are some pictures from the skim spot at Crescent I took on Sunday. It has mad potenial! There is also a spot inland a bit further that may workout, will be checking it out soon!

I am headed back to the Coast this weekend for mothers day, so I hope to fit in a skim and mountain bike ride. Will post pics for sure!

Bunggee Sesh

Last weekend a crew of us ventured up to Port Renfrew to try Brandon's new toy, the Bashee Bungee. We knew it was going to take us a while to get the hang of it. Bryce Casselman was nice enough to come along and snap some photos. I posted some of my favs below, but check out his blog for all the goodies. CLICK HERE

Tyde Mag

Tydle Mag just wrapped up the 2009 Flatland Catalogue with boards and soft goods from all your favourite companies. It resembles that of a skateboard/snowboard product catalogue, covering all the products that are being put out by the industry for that given year.

Check it out!!!!

Simply Amazing

Easter Session

Got out for a blustery Easter Skim session with Bryce Casselman. Super windy and choppy. We skimmed at 'Totem', which is a new spot to me. Not the cleanest of beaches by any means, but you gotta work with what you are given.

Check out all the photos out on the Akwa Industries Team Blog.
