SICK new Canadian West Coast Surf film

It may be known to my followers that I am a huge promoter of the west coast lifestyle as well as the sweet outdoor sports our great ecosystem and landscapes provide. One of the wonders of the west coast are the gnarly surf breaks that riddle Vancouver Island's shores with surfable waves.

Here is a recent production by Jeremy Koreski who is a renowned filmographer and photographer on the west coast. This film features Peter Devries who is my favourite surfer and one of Canada's best waves riders.

It is a super compilation of footage taken on along Vancouver Island's numerous breaks and it really exposes the raw energy, explosive power and sheer beauty of our enchanting coast.

Enjoy as I did, this gets me jacked up

The secret behind Nike Air

Just saw this commercial and had to share it. It is absolutely a brilliant concept that they are capturing air from their sponsored athletes and putting it into the shoes! Love the bit with John Mcenroe as he is a funny guy. While we were in Brazil training on Ipanema beach, we would up getting a photo with him in our speedo's on our festive moustache friday! He was totally grossed out by our traditions but the guy has style and a pretty solid wrap in tennis so we let it slide.
