DIRTY FEAT
Utah
Powell: A Gallery
“Once it was different there. I know, for I was one of the lucky few who saw Glen Canyon before it was drowned” – Edward Abbey Like Mr. Abbey said, Dams are a destructive and manmade structure, in which rich ecosystems are destroyed in wake of the development of the human kind. Two weeks ago … Continue reading
Filling Voids
Sitting in the middle of the High Desert overlooking redsand ridges, smooth bluffs and snow capped peaks, I wonder what the hell a surfer finds in this dry land hundreds of miles away from the coast. A dark cloud hangs low over my head every morning where the pre dawn surf check has become non-existent, … Continue reading
Days 18-23: A Second Wind
Roadtrips aren’t Vacations. Seeing the heartland of our country behind a 1/4inch piece of glass, that constantly is littered with smashed bugs and whatever crap the truck in front of you kicked up, isn’t the most enjoyable way to experience what there is to offer, especially when your cruising 40 mph’s under the speed limit … Continue reading

One of the only things I hate about living in the North East is the lack of playgrounds. Not the playgrounds where the highschool kids hang out and … Continue reading
From Red Sand to Deep Powder: Part 1, Red Hollow
While dodging grains of sand and airing out my blistered feet, I found myself picking black schmutz out from under my fingernails and laying in bed at 8pm. Two and a Half days spent wondering the Southern Desert of Utah will do that to ya, especially if you’re a pasty, wetsuit wearing, tender skinned, surfer … Continue reading

Utah bound, story to follow.
40 Item Utah
I sit here, two days before my trip, piling up all the “gear” I will be packing into snowboard bags and backpacks. After deciding half the junk I piled will be useless on a hiking/snow-hunting trip I decided to cut the list down to 40 essentials. Striving to be a minimalist traverler, I thought I … Continue reading
