summer camp is not usually associated with heavy snowfall /
session one of windell’s camp at mount hood showed otherwise with pow days to be had /
during one of the storms which held the top of timberline at bay the private park at the base held all of the action /
method mag and brand advocate riley nickerson had no qualms with any of the weather /
they just love to shred //
brand advocate mark mcinnis is a many of many talents /
take the above photo, a double exposure created without the use of any editing /
just a trusty old pentax armed with kodak film /
now check out the video below from his band, manrock /
we still can’t draw any conclusions about the inspiration which could be responsible for such creative diversity /
any ideas /

+THE SEA OF POSSIBILITY+ JACK LYNCH from Nicholas Damen on Vimeo.
The Sea of Possibility.
I fly in on the last flight to the Island Tasmania, that heart shape landmass that if drawn incorrectly in primary school just made your map of Australia look really average. Its cold, 6 degrees cold, for me that is pretty cold, for girls hitting downtown Hobart though, it appeared that it wasn’t too chilly at all.
We trek down a beaten dirt farm track, as we break the hill the sea comes into view. It’s a point swell. Job on, the water is cold, feet numbing cold. The locals are welcoming; don’t know how they strip down on the rocks in the cold though.
Still undecided if Tasmanians have Internet, refreshingly though, no one knows that Reynolds has a new neck beard out this season. There are no neck beards here, just full beards on Men, Men that withstand the cold, year in year out to surf the Point Swells. No Loggers either with trailing bat tails, but in there place on the Points a surprising number of bodyboarders.
The swell lasted a day. A venture through a leech-infested Tasmanian National Park the following day provided no more possibilities for another surf. So my time was up on the apple isle, an early flight out the next morning brought my impromptu surf mission to an end. I came to the conclusion that Tasmania holds a sea of possibility and I will be returning, perhaps in the summer time.

this event began as a mellow sunday surf fest and has now grown to take over the entire weekend /
featuring nice films, board demos, and stellar surfing the 9ft and Single Festival is not to be missed /
just yesterday we got word that our very own Mr. Harrison Roach took the honors at the event on Sunday /
we’re sure there will be more coverage soon but for now, nice work Harry /
cheers //
this is the second time in as many months we have seen these two brand advocates team up on this feature /
once again dane anderson and mark mcinnis have stellar imagery displayed in f-stop on surfline /
west coast and cold could be the title of their ongoing travels in search of empty peaks /
cheers //
brand advocate riley nickerson is enjoying summer living at windells /
