  • Ann Arbor Skatepark Grand Opening

    Yesterday was the grand opening of the Ann Arbor Skatepark. Following the build of the park through photos updates for the last year, it was so great to see everyone having a good time and shredding. All-in-all, it was an amazing day to celebrate this great asset for the Community.

  • Lake Session In Northern Michigan

    It officially felt like summer today. The blazing sun, no wetsuits, a cooler of drinks and a boat lead to good times on Silver Lake. We spent the morning wake boarding and wake-surfing. We even tried the standup board behind the boat. It sure was a great way to spend the morning.

  • Feb. Snowboarding at Mt Brighton

    It was another beautiful day at Mt Brighton. We rode in the park and then got the camera out for a little. I wanted to test out a new rig for the go pro. Some of the shots turned out pretty good.

  • Snowboarding with Zach & Crew at Mt. Brighton

    I had a great session at Mt. Brighton today. The weather was perfect, 25 degrees and sunny. After riding, I spent sometime shooting in the park, since it had been a few days since my last post.

  • Snowkiting in Ann Arbor

    It was a great day of snowkiting in Michigan. The ice was thick with a few inches of snow on top. The sun was out helping to keep the temps bearable. The guys rode for hours cruising the lake.

  • Knee-high kickers in Florida

    The wind cranked in Deerfield Beach, FL. Some of the family took a couple hours to go with me to the beach. Consistent sets small waves come through creating a great playground to explore. It was great being back in salt water. I was perfectly powered on the 12m Envy.

    PS. Thanks for the photos dad!

    Thanks to Liquid Force, Patagonia, Dakine & Camrig

  • Kiteboarding Muskegon in Fall

    Winter Fall has arrived! I visited my friends in Muskegon for surfing and kiting sessions. The waves were not as large as the forecast predicted but the temperature sure was on target at a chilly 45 degrees. We still had a few very fun sessions. I rode my 9m Liquid Force Envy for most of the sessions. Marc and I traded of waves surfing the next morning.

    It was a great first true fall front that came through the Great Lakes. I also got to try the Patagonia R4 suit. It is insane! Soo warm! almost too warm for the 45 degree temps we had. Think that suit will come in handy as the temps start to drop in the next few months. I also got to play with the camrig line mount for the gopro3. I was really excited to get some point of view shots. The mount worked well even in the low light.

    I also need to thank Casey for taking some of the photos!

  • Cherry Festival Run

    Mel ran the 15k this weekend. I took a couple photos of the Traverse City Cherry Festival 5/15k race. It was a great day, but it got a little warm towards the end of the race.

  • A Slick Session

    After the Triple-S Invitational concluded the media team hit The Slick for a kiteboarding session.  It all went well until Nate crashed a little too hard and we had to call it a day.  Luckily he snagged a couple good shots during the time we had.
