Way overpowered on 12m+surfboard. Had to eject when I returned from Acadia to SB. Now driving up to Dog Beach and pumping 8m for a civilized session

Double double!!!

3 consecutive days of waves plus 2 morning sessions snowboarding at Cypress ... only in Vancouver!!!

Today was an epic 3-4 hrs wave session at Acadia. Shared shoulder high breaking waves with Chuck on my 8m+surfboard. Endless bottom turns.

Life is good :D

:D Epic! :D

Not much of a Church-goer, but pretty sure I had a religious experience out there

Nice!
Yup that was super fun! Got 3 hours in down at Jericho, much better than I expected. Some really nice swell rolled in for the first 2 hours, then after I took a break the wind and swell dropped off for the last hour. Made my first foot switches today :!: The first was toe side to heel side then the other three were all heel to toe on Starboard tack. I've been trying those for months, super stoked! Changed my technique after I saw this video posted on BWD and boom!
