Chuck Patterson tows in with skies and poles????! Some comments: "Chuck Patterson Here's a teaser shot by Rob Keith of one of my wave skiing rides. The whole thing was super humbling because I was not sure if the skis would glide and turn the way I had invisioned, but it was pretty insane how fast I could go making big GS turns just like snow skiing. Thanks Jason Star for the skis. Will have full story and more photos soon." "Chuck Patterson Riding waves on skis was pretty sick. I used ski poles to keep my balance and body position so it felt normal. I had to wear a thicker life vest to keep me floating because the ski boots felt like cement shoes. I was lucky not to take any wipe outs because I'm not sure the skis would have come off. It's great to dream a little and then put it to action. " You can see more photos and info on this novel approach to running in big waves in Chuck's blog at: http://chuckpattersonsports.wordpres...-into-reality/

Daryl Drown of Extreme Ocean Sports in St. Augustine, FL returned to home snow in Utah last week and ripped it up.
Just floating along, nice skies! EDGING hard, looks a bit overpowered too. Daryl did you stay put or did you rise up? Snow geysers, having some fun now!

Some photos from a fashion shoot with Chrys Rocha of Shameless Charlotte a while back. There was wind and kiters during some of the shoots adding an interesting backdrop. There was something like 5000 plus images, so you might see some more of these from time to time.

Some kiters including Neil and Evan are getting into paragliding and even imitating flying squirrels ...
A whole squadron of high flying squirrels tool over Sebastian Inlet. Look up! The trick is to reduce the rate of fall and increase the glide slope with the webbing between appendages. Impressive panorama! Photos from Evan's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/adventurespo...1&id=512639121 Keep 'em flying Evan! and for something from across the pond, wingsuits on video over Norwegian Fiords The father or is it mother of the sport, the placental rodent. http://www.geol.umd.edu/~jmerck/bsci...lecture12.html .
