I hadn’t been running more than a year up and down my daily stretch when the first guy got hit by lightning. It was about 5:30 in the evening, he was jogging of all things, which like I said was weird out here, and then he wasn’t doing anything at all, forever. Lights-out in an […]

This list could be argued for days. The insight however is spot on. We’ve come a long ugly way since the days of Gidget to what goes on in the lineup now.
I grew up in Idaho and was outdoors most of the time. Not a good athlete. But being outside a lot has a certain benefit. You put in some miles, you push your body a bit. For the second third of life, we were in Colorado in the highest county in the US. Summit County […]
One day, yesterday, after 16 years of living on a beach, I realized something prophetic for a guy with zero notable accomplishments. It was deep stuff, way up there with learning about timing belts and how to bully rec league soccer referees and pretending to listen while people complain. The predictable reaction to my bonehead […]
I’m honest, I can face the truth, I’ll never be a runner. Sure I finished that one marathon, and yes I run every day, but this sport sucks. When we lived in Colorado at 9,000 feet above sea level, running up trails was the only way to stay in shape during mud season. I ran […]
About mid-summer I was surfing, it was a late-in-the-day low tide and our primary sandbar hasn’t been coughing up consistent waves, so I was alone out there. I don’t usually surf late, around dinner, but there was enough swell left even though an unexpected onshore wind was turning everything to garbage. It was getting rough […]
It’s Friday morning and Hurricane Florence is battering the coast. According to every news source, we have a bright red radar swirl over all our heads, and bright red can mean only one thing: Certain doom! (It could also mean the graphics guys at CNN are overdoing it again with the color balance.) The “reporters” […]
I’d pay money to be part of this shoot. Or beer. The sign is epic. Luke makes good vids, plus he does his own stunts.
Chuck Patterson went after this before Candide Thovex, although Thovex definitely got more views. All Chuck got were waves 50 times the size. Respect is earned. Maybe sometimes taken. This time it was taken.
