I've spent the past couple of days thinking about the trips and times spent with my good friend Stephen...had to leave work yesterday for a mental health break and go for a surf at the coast. My...

SOLD!

Price reduced and added "OBO".

Selling these new, never used Diamir Fritchi Freeride Bindings. $290 OBO (reduced price).

Size SM

Thanks.

Looks like a way better wave than the exhaust/engine surfing i've done. I've kayak surfed waves like that and its such a trip to be relatively stationary, yet moving so fast...kind of like opening...

The last on of the north wall looks nice. They need a husquvarna storm to come through and level those little trees in the runs though. Glad you guys scored!

Jonesn' here.

Cascadepinner is at Willamette Pass today skiing with Oz...but I bet he'll be online with updates, etc this evening.

Dang wish I didn't have a gig Friday night but I guess in the battle of killer pow versus previous band commitment and 4 free pints of Ninkasi IPA...the IPA and electric guitar wins. My choices could...

Sounds like we have about a dozen interested riders. I'll call and get the dates that are open in March and the post the open dates so we can get a sense of a one week or two week window that might...

Depending on the flexibility of your schedule it would be best to play it by ear and watch the forecast. 5 day notice would be good then we could see the forecast and plan accordingly. Sometime in...

There's an opportunity to get a day catskiing at Mt Bailey, OR for $175 if we get a full cat of 12 riders. I have just a couple of friends in the area that into that sort of thing - not 12 - and...

I'm going back in November to Kauai. The best rentals I found were at Nukumoi in Poipu. They're online and I think its $80/wk. Softops only for rent on the n.shore.

Another vote for Sinenen there in Sayulita. I rented from the cranky German lady. They had a bunch of nice boards (all epoxy) and you could swap them out for the weekly price (1500 pesos in March...

Surfer, 14, loses left arm during a collision with a dory

As reported in The Oregonian on Monday, July 07, 2008


PACIFIC CITY -- A 14-year-old Bend surfer lost his left arm Sunday during a...

There is some really nice bc terrain there...we used to call it the St. Regis basin (over lookout pass). Anyway I used to shuffle in their on rando's and camp in the mid-90's when I was at UofIdaho....

Would be killer for sure! I'll have to talk to my wife (ball and chain).

Picture of the Northeast Face...a possibility with a strong group.
...

Nice!

I was up at Baldface in January 2004 for similar epic pow and similar star-struck conditions. I hadn't surfed at that point (gotten in about 60 days surfing in the past year) and didn't...

We were there 12/27 and 12/28. Long 9-10 hr drive from Sandpoint, ID but worth it. We stopped in Nelson on the way up for supplies...nice option. Only snowed 2 cm the first day and 5 cm the second...

Sweet. Thanks for the stoke and baja narrative.

Bump and some photos. Getting quite a few interested replies.

View to the west from near the western edge of the property:...

$228,000

For sale by owner is 2.7 wooded acres on Idaho side with Teton views. Close (approx 3 miles on road and 2 on trail) to backcountry skiing (Beard Mtn and Commissary Ridge Yurt), Targhee,...

I was just there, 3/9 to 3/17...surfed 8 days in a row. Don't have info on topo for you (wish I did), but I will say that Punta Mita was really fun...the best break I surfed in the area...nice, long...

I wonder if he hit his head or if he drowned, or both. From the article, his friends said he complained that he "couldn't see".

They must have checked it and decided to go out during a big...

Sounds like he'd only been surfing once before and jumped in to some pretty big conditions.

Guy dies surfing in Oregon

We'll be poking our heads in at the Fairy Meadows hut on Saturday (1/13)...Looks like at least we'll have enough high pressure for viz to heli into the hut. At this point, it sounds so sketchy that...

Funny, because it is true.

I went to summer school in Moscow and lasted about 1 week and had to quit it was so bad, although it was a nice place to have a home base after being on the Salmon or...

BUMP...Nice photos...

Anyone been to Fairy Meadows yet this year? We're going in 1/13/07. I heard they took in 30 sling loads of material for the hut for improvements this past summer and that...

I'm 6'3", 160lbs and have about 10 days so far on my 183, 2007 Gotamas mounted tele. I'm happy with the length and the ski overall. Yesterday was a 16" blower powder day (by Cascade stds) and they...

Good list and very similar to what I take on glaciated ski trips (Spring Cascade volcano or AK trips). Perhaps you've considered this, but a couple of things I didn't see on your list were a first...

Some info from someone who tried em out here:

http://www.patagoniawetsuits.com/

I've dislocated my right shoulder many times in the bc before I had it surgically repaired. I've had a WFR course and they did teach us how to reduce dislocations of many of the body's joints,...

My 7tms are also mounted about 1.5 cm back of the alpine point (basically I think you want to mount them the same as alpine but account for the length of the duckbill, hence the 1.5 cm back). ...

Just got back from Kauai, 12/4 to 12/12. Surf advisory was at times 20-24 feet and the break near where I was looked to be triple OH. The buoy data I checked out one time said 17 ft @ 14 seconds. ...

Yep Mash Potater conditions at Willamette Pass today...raining almost all the way up to top of the 6-pack (~6,666ft). First few untracked runs were pretty sweet though....just a bit thick. The new...

Wish I was at Bachy today, but had to work....thinking hitting it tomorrow though. Did get 4 straight days hiking at Willamette. Didn't really hit anything other than a couple of wood objects on...

Consider getting a delay with a tap-tempo feature. Allows you to get the delay time you want by tapping the pedal with your foot rather than turning a knob with your hand (love that last...

I'm a ChemE with an Enviro PE working in air quality regulation. My boss is an ME w/Enviro PE, and our source testing guru is an ME. Lots of ME related stuff in this job having to do with boilers,...

I'll admit being a total jong but won't admit to not doing thread search. :smile: Found some good info from your 2004 thread (I'm a big fan of the boondoggle) BigE, but thought there might be some...

Just bought flight there December 4th for 8 days. Getting hitched on the beach. Just me and my lady...no family or friends. Planning on camping most of the time and get a beater rental car. Any...

I had mine done in May this year. I was 20/200 now I'm at 20/15. Cost was $3800 both eyes. I did the Wavefront Guided LASIK...which is the custom mapping someone mentioned. Thankful everyday for...

Very cool indeed, thanks. My first trip up to AK for the purposes of snow sliding was this year (4/1 to 4/9) and it was probably the best skiing extasy of my life (so far).

I'm in this picture, by...

Nice TR BC, good jorb! We were a bit north of you and did the Hotlum-Bolam on Sunday (6/25). My 32 degree bag was too warm also...skeeters were horrendus and we only got about 3hrs sleep. It seemed...

Cool. I skied Leatherman way back in 1990 with my brother when I was but a mere 18yo. That drive in was nutz and the other car from our group dropped the transmission and could only drive in Low2. ...

My 4-day update: The sandy/gritty feeling is completely gone. Worked 9 hours yesterday at the computer and reading and did pretty good. Vision is better in the distance not as good on computer...

Sounds very similar to my experience, El Chupacabra. I had both eyes done yesterday and pretty stoked now!! I'm also wearing some light lenses in my sliders around the house so I don't do any...

They do like you to have a stable prescription, although I'm not sure what age or how long it has to be stable.

They told me I could ski 3 days after surgery with eye protection, or 7 days...

Ha! I go in tomorrow at 11 for wavefront lasik as well. A bit nervous but pretty stoked on the idea of not having to wear those prescription goggles and glasses again. Good luck El Chupacabra.

Very cool. Thanks for posting the pics, etc. Regarding the memorial: I was in Valdez the day Coombs died and it was pretty somber at the AK Rendezvous Lodge too. We had a bonfire and a dozen or so...

Anyone from WA or OR heading down to the June 23,24 shows in Berkely? Thinking about trying to arrange a carpool from Eugenious.

There is an official recording that was issued from the 20th anniversary shows...I think it was from 2002 or 2003...I was there but I don't remember what year.;) I think its a DVD as well as audio. ...
