Brighton tailgate demo

Had a fun day at Brighton , Utah with some Retailers.   Had some new 2015 Burton Hardgoods to get them on and check out.  It was a bit cold , being -11F when we go to the parking lot at 9 am.  It was a super fun day though riding and i love the feeling of being Bundled up in the winter when there is snow on the trees,  Nothing better than that.

back at loveland for 1st demo of the year

Back to Loveland Pass , Colorado for the First Retailer on-snow demo of the year.  Snow was actually pretty good,  and really fun for rallying around and getting my snowboard legs back.  Rode with some cool people to say the least,  and am looking forward to coming back to Colorado for some Pow Pow.

Nor Cal trip

Had a good trip to Northern California,  First snow of the  year under my feet.  I had to hike 1 1/2 hours for it, but it was really nice to buckle in and get some turns in.  Had some good clinics In Tahoe, and in Mammoth at Wave Rave.  Looking forward to getting back when there is 15 feet of snow :-)

after school activities

Been getting in the ocean with my kids after school.  Its been so cool to see them come home and get their homework done so they can go surfing.  I am truly a proud papa, and just love being out there with them.  I think its about time to get them on a proper surf trip

Clinics

Been traveling around parts of North America going to some good Burton Shop Clinics,  Also some Clinics at some of the Burton Showrooms.   Its always nice to be able to talk to Shop Employees about the Product,  but i'm starting to really get amped to ride and not just talk about it.   Hopefully I will be strapping in sometime soon.

Boarding School

Burton "Boarding School" event back in Vermont.   Burton Flew in 70 Shop Staff from around North America for a couple days at the Headquarters,  and also to experience Jake's Fall Bash.   It was amazing to see people who have never been to Burton completely trip out on what was going on in Burlington Vermont,   From Talking to product people ,  getting a Tour of "Craigs" with Todd K and seeing boards get made, to bumping into Terje or Jake in the Hallway,  Its just all started to make sense to these Shop Staff that Burton is the Real Deal.   Kudos to all the Employees at Burton who made it an incredible experience to all who attended.
