Blackies – wind blown fun with Jason Harris
Usually when the planes are landing backwards into John Wayne Airport it’s a good sign. Not far down the line the wind can change and blow everything to side-shore shit. Jason Harris still smiles and landed one of the sketchiest backside airs we’ve seen in awhile. We like sketchy.

FLOW Championships and Good Times in South Africa
After two years of the FLOW (Flowriding League of the World) Championships taking place in sunny Singapore, the people in charge decided to hold the event at the original Wave House in Durban, South Africa. Never needing an excuse to travel, I hopped on a plane and flew across the world to take part in the action. After two weeks of mayhem, my family arrived and we settled into a nice vacation complete with safaris and shark cage diving. I highly recommend visiting South Africa before you die. And since you never know when it’s your turn, you better hurry up!
