Swingin to the home run...

a change of plans...

So my original plan following the Maden/Ramsay wedding was to head off adventuring to The Faroe Islands via Copenhagen for a frosty photographic expedition...

However, after my brother's bucks, a boozy week long road trip, my brother's wedding, two days of travel to Europe, jetlag, hayfever and another fun filled wedding, I was running on empty...

So I decided to instead jet to the familiar town of Kitzbuehel in Tirol to visit some old friends, do some cycling, and generally refresh by breathing in some fresh alpine air... 

Big thanks to Josl and Wirlybird for teeing up my surprise arrival and to two of the finest, Millpop and AMK for the hospitality and golden times... Big love! xxoo

US road trippin... last stop phoenix...

The US sure can be a fun filled place for a road trip... Earlier in the year I spent about 10 days cruising part of the wild west in celebration of Becky Clark's thirtieth year on the planet... Here's a few highlights from our speedy sojourn... 

Our last couple of days were truly a perfect end to a perfect trip. Some shopping, swimming and one amazing sunset! Adventure of a lifetime!

Enjoy...

 White line fever...

Sunshine and swimmin...

 Rolling hills...

 Perfect palms...

 A lot of laughter...

 And a lot of love...

 Thank you Phoenix!

ocean current ad...

Was stoked to help put together an ad for Jeff Hubb's clothing sponsor, Ocean Current, for the latest Riptide, Issue 187. Hubby had a bangin year, was ripping in the Canaries and was really unlucky to be pipped at the post for the world title by PLC in the final event at Fronton. 

No dwelling on past defeats for this Hawaiian though as he took out the first IBA event of 2012 at Pipe in February! Cheers to Hubby for the good Canarian times, OC for the ad and Ruben Grimon for the mountain adventure which brought about the portrait!

last lifts...

One of the most frustrating parts of this shitty snow season was the unusually late Easter. Had the snow base maintained, the lifts would have remained open until the end of April, making for an unusually long season. Alas twas not meant to be... However the main Hahnenkamm lift ran over the Easter weekend and I made the most of the opportunity to do some springtime wandering...
