I just returned home from the best surf trip of my life. Sick waves, a few snapped boards and some bounces off the reef, but I survived, fortunatley not snapping myself, and comming home in one piece. It was an incredible adventure. We surfed our brains out for three weeks straight. I started the trip...

I had an awesome testing camp the past three days atop Aspen Mountain. It was so much fun, and we had the place to ourselves, thanks to Aspen/Snowmass. The snow was bulletproof, couldn’t have been better for test driving my new gear. It was super productive. This morning I got twenty-one runs in less than...

I was in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday in support of the inaugural Katie Ride for Life. The cycling event was put together by my friend David Caples and his family in honor of their daughter Katie who was a donor. I participated in the one hundred kilometer bike ride from Ponte Vedra to St. Augustine....

I enjoyed some nice Southern Hospitality in Newberry, South Carolina the past days. I was speaking at the Newberry Opera House, a classic renovated Opera House reminiscent of the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen. It felt like home. I was sharing my transplant and Olympic experiences for the Gift of Life of South Carolina. It...

I headed out to the Taggert Hut, outside of Aspen, CO, with my friends Jon and Mike for a couple of days of hiking and riding. It was an awesome journey. Jon cleaned up...

Good times at the Gravity Games at Copper Mtn, CO this past weekend. I was on hand representing Saturn, sharing the message of organ donation. I helped pass out thousands of red donor awareness ‘People First’ wrist bands and signed lots of autographs. Saturday afternoon Jurassic 5 played a sick concert. Missy and I joined...

I had a fun adventure with my friends yesterday from Snowmass to Aspen. I’ve been snowshoeing a lot these days, trying to stay fit while I’m off the board for another week and a half. I’m counting the hours until I can start cruising on my snowboard again. It has been beautiful here in Aspen...

I got out of bed way too early this morning to compete in an uphill snowshoe race benefiting Challenge Aspen. It was for a great cause, but it destroyed me! I was joined by my friends, who I signed up to share in the pain. I had a wager going with my buddy Jon Gibans,...
