I found myself today resting on my heel edge, staring into a moment I was about to enjoy… without the skill of seeing the future, I already new whatever was about to happen was going to be an insane amount of fun…. then, I just let it happen…

Europe is huge…. there’s been no shortage of epic moments in the last few days….

 

 

 

 

In the airport, flying out

With no snow in Park City we made the call to head for Europe instead… The two first stops of the tour are in Austria, so we are gonna hit up Hintertux for a weeks schnitty, snow and shredding….
Boooo! full flights, going the long way round the world to get to Austria! through the states…. middle middle seats is the fall back option… pretty lame… to top it off the lounge in Melbourne airport is closed… why??? …. so all I got now is a view of the germ tube I’ll be on for the next 28 hours or so, the hope that my upgrades will go through, and internet that’s about to run out…. I got a feeling this could be one of those flights you kinda dread… I guess things can’t be too easy….

 

I’ve been moving around a bit, got up to Sydney for a while, then Melbourne, then back to Sydney…. but I’ve been home for about a week now and we have been scoring big time… there’s been some super fun waves about and i haven’t missed a bit of it…. with a 5-6 month northern hemi winter coming up, this swell has hit right on time… i was also able to get the camera out for part of the session…. so, with no further rambling, check out the latest episode…..
