I know that as you view this post you must be thinking this is really odd to see a blog update on something that isn't related to snow or skiing at this time of year, especially by a pro and extra especially because there is some record breaking snowfall happening right now in the Northwest and B.C. However, by the end of this week (when I leave) I will have spent a month on the beautiful island of Maui. Along with Cody, Mike Douglas and his family I have been fortunate to leave the doldrums of fall by tagging along to watch a long anticipated dream project come to fruition. The special project that I am referring to is Mike D and Cody's long aspiration to 'ski big waves'. Of course that meant coming to Hawaii! So lucky me I have found myself in tropical paradise.
It is not exactly a place to come to get ready for winter, because for sure I will be freezing my bum off when I return to Cali (the irony is astounding- returning to Cali being a cold affair!). But I definitely have not treated this trip as a typical vacation where mai tais at the swim up bar are the norm. Instead, I find myself taking advantage of the great weather and warm water to try new sports and get better at the ones I already do. I also got a gym membership at the local fitness center in Haiku. There's no lounging around on this sojourn! But really, Maui has so much to offer laying around seems so boring...

So some of the warehouse staff/Porters snowboard team decided to hit the slopes on a sunny day in November. Needless to say it was a great time. Featuring Porters team memebers Brandon Cocard, Chris Bosco, Brendon Drury, Zak Shelhamer, and Alex Horgan.

I had a chance to go out to the Spyder sales meeting this Fall and meet the new group of people that are running Spyder, and the new face of Spyder that is coming. Here are some great pictures of the trip. It is really exciting. Look for some new fun.
