Check out some of the killer gear from up and coming fabrical talents Weather Head Clothing now out for their fall line. Had an awesome time with some rad people running around Bellingham and working on my model directing.
It's a complete blessing to be so busy. But being caught up is another feeling entirely. Approaching a single second where I feel like I have some of my own time to do personal work has been great lately. I feel I haven't even scratched the surface of everything I'd like to be doing, but a good reality check and realization that practice makes perfect is good for everyone.
Anyways these are a few things I've seen as of late.
I am in denial that the summer is winding down. I met up for a support group with 9 other people, who are also in denial of this. We spent two days at our mobile retreat center in beautiful Louis Lake hiking, exploring, swimming fishing, climbing, adventuring in all senses of the word and partaking in other summer activities as a therapeutic process for fulfilling a mental 'summer quota' of fun things to do while its still nice out. I hope you will be honest with yourself, and join our group, for your own health's sake.
For the second year in a row the guys at Northwest Riders put down the Northwest Riders Wake Series, in which tons of local wakeboarders and wake-skaters, young and old, am and pro, threw down on some of the biggest sickest double-ups known to Washington, and mankind. On beautiful (man-made) Lake Tye in magical Monroe, Washington, a perfect day with a PNW sunset finished off the Pro double up contest for friday night, and a mellow Saturday afternoon of several heats of riders followed for the competition.
Kicking it (literally) in my fins and classy bright yellow mike's hard lemonade float chair, I was stoked to keep my gear dry, and land some shots I was pretty happy with.
Don't let anyone tell you Wakeboarding is for wimps. The vid below ought to show you. These guys go big, and water doesn't feel good when you hit it going 40 or 50.
