Congrats Tadashi and Yuko on the cutest twin ninja babies I've ever seen. Can't wait to meet them.
Its a fact, we love mexico. I remember. not too clearly but I do remember celebrating Halloween dressed as what we "drunk Canadian teens" thought mexicans looked like for something like 3 years in a row.
The photo above of Dev and Kale was taken somewhere around 98. I think we dressed up as mexicans for like 3 halloweens in a row... It only took us roughly a decade to finally come out with a goggle dedicated to the special little place in the world that blessed us with fish taco's, salsa, guacamole and terrible hangovers. Better late than never. Mexico, this ones for you!
Kale news: Kale has devised a new method of remembering all the super important things he has to do on a daily basis.
Our office is located in East Vancouver. For those who don't know East Van has a bit of a bad rep. Everyday I show up for work there's something weird going on. Here's just a taste of what I witnessed Today.
Actually this isn't that weird, its my collection of old skate shoes. If I actually still skated there'd be way more up there.
This was in the way of the first place I was gonna park, no biggie but then I
Roll up to the next spot and See Mic Mac invited a buddy to live next to him on our street.
Steve scored the only decent parking spot left on our street snuggled in tightly to some old mattresses.
When we told Dave about the old mattresses he rushed right out and tried to 3 flip them.
As I capture the moment our good buddy Birdie strolls by. Just a warning if you run into Birdie in our hood or at the Bourbon on any given Thursday night... He's more of an outdoor, keep a good distance, don't actually talk to him, just take a photo while you're driving by and hope he doesn't throw anything at you type bud. We tight though..
Here's the cover of the September issue of Transworld Snowboarding.
Dev was the only one out of the crew to hit this death gap. When "the crew" includes Jussi Oksanen and Andrea's Wiig it really puts into perspective how insane the gap is. Dev truly is the King of modern day back country riding. It's gotta be the goggles.. Look out for his part in Double Decade. He'll blow your mind... Again!
Zeddy called me to say: Hey did you know Todays international sex day!
Update from J man's Portuguese vacation: Only J Man would meet sand ninjas on his first day in Portugal. I was skeptical too till he sent me this photo to back up the story.
The sand Ninjas were kind enough to take J Man in as one of their own and share their Choco Crack with him.
While enjoying the new exciting Portuguese treat J Man saw what seemed to be a familiar character dancing in the distance.
Thinking it was Zeddy stuck in a dance trance, he ran up to greet his good buddy.
As he got closer he realized it wasn't Zeddy at all. It was actually a young gentlemen by the name of Alvaro. The two conversed on the beach the rest of the day and have now become inseparable. Alvaro, pictured above in the stripes has since invited J man to join his Portuguese folk dance crew.
They'll be touring Portugal for the rest of the month.
! made! Through my first week back to work from vacation that is and wow, what a doozy it was. Not sure if its just me but I never feel rested or relaxed after time off. I actually usually feel like I need another vacation. I must be doing something wrong.
See the shades Tman's sporting in the photo above. They're the Mont Royal white stripes, we're all sold out of em. Leave a comment below if you think we should do another run. If you need them right away I did see one pair in the display case at Boardroom on west forth yesterday after lunch. Good luck.
