BoardBlog
If other parts of this site are more equipment and guide oriented this is my boardblog, this is my creative outlet, this is where I post everything and anything related to my life. It is a place where you can follow my latest surf adventures while I try and reach that imaginary goal of having 100 surf days in a year. 100 surf days in a year sounds pretty average for a die hard surfer. That is, until you check the map and see where I live and that the closest ocean is like 1500km away :). This means endless travel, weird surf locations, storm surfing, winter sessions, tropical getaways and adventures on the road. Surf and other mishaps presented through at least semi entertaining writing from a mildly cynical but still easily amazed surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking and hiking, traveling liberal male trying to enjoy life while he should be doing other more serious things.
