Sometime over the summer Marcus and I got a little session on my pvc flat rail, with Richie Getter behind the lens. Check out some more of his shots over on Wesubsist. I sure do miss this rail. It only lasted about a week before the lake neighbors chopped it down. I’m pretty sure the pvc pipe is sitting on the bottom of the lake right around there. Tragic, it never meant any harm. Oh, and I don’t recommend hitting rails with your eyes closed.

I finally got this lady in the studio so I could add my 2011 Integrity board graphics to my portfolio. Really stoked on how this board came out. Especially this version with the semi transparent view to the core underneath! Schmaltz is a mad scientist, thrilled to be on this team. Following up the ‘Grandma Board’ was no easy task. Amor Vincit Omnia.

It’s December, and the high today is 78 degrees. This is my Monday morning meeting. Love life.

My brother’s response: “Well, is potential static or dynamic? Does your potential change over time? In essence, yes, but also no because your true potential is always changing. Does that make sense? I think its constantly changing. Even if a person hit their “full potential”- that moment their true potential changes into something new, but not necessarily bigger or smaller in scope, just different.”

po·ten·tial
adj \pə-ˈten(t)-shəl\

1 : existing in possibility : capable of development into actuality

2 : expressing possibility; specifically : of, relating to, or constituting a verb phrase expressing possibility, liberty, or power by the use of an auxiliary with the infinitive of the verb (as in “it may rain”)

I feel like the dictionary has taken this word to lightly. Or maybe I have personally struggled with it one on one and it holds a greater weight in my life.

Just a few quick iPhone snaps from my quick trip to PR. What an amazing trip with Jen & Kim! Surfed some of the biggest waves of my life (which are probably pretty average/small for most of you surfers). Caught a nice long backside shoulder high wave! Thanks to our surfing buddies, Albert & William. Wandered the Cueva del Indio’s, which may go down as one of my favorite places in the world. Hiked down river from waterfall to waterfall. Late night snorkeling in bioluminescents…life is beautiful.

Stoked to join the crew at The Liquid Playground! The truest shop in wake. Look out for the Integrity team video dropping soon, Ride Among Us. Thanks to WakeGirls for the ski footage.

Let’s run away together…

Thanks Bear for the dreamy reclaimed polaroid.

Holding it down for the Pro Women’s Wakeskate division at Nationals! I don’t know how many Nationals titles that makes but I think it’s enough. My only goal last weekend was to land a back big in contest and by some miracle I stuck one in the flats in some of the roughest water ever. Pretty stoked on that, might be a first for women’s wakeskating, but not too sure. I wish some more of my lady skater friends could have made it! However I’m glad they didn’t pay to have to ride the rough river with me in the state of 10,000 lakes…maybe next year. Thanks O’Neill, Integrity Wakeskates & Freestyle for the support!
