Surfing on Snow on a Powder Day at Grand Targhee

Surfing on snow at Grand Targhee after a powder day. Negative temperatures never felt so good. Best day of snowboarding in my life. Check out the blue skies and magical trees.






Need to get back here.

Surfing Sunsets

December sunset south of Rosarita, Mexico
One of the best parts of surfing are the sunsets. The white sand, the lapping water, the hues of orange and red that seem to reside nowhere outside the water-lined horizon. After a day of paddling out and riding a few waves in, the serenity and brilliance of a surfing sunset is often what pushes a surfing vacation into the "surreal" category.

And if you wait a minute, the hues of the sunset will change, ever so slightly. The Red Sox santa hat adds a nice touch, I think.

Not all surfing sunsets need deep and light shades of magenta, pink, blood orange, and fiery red to make an impact. Sometimes a few wispy clouds and an epicenter of light can create a spectacular end to a difficult but rewarding day.

SURFING IN COLORADO!
SheSurfs the Zippers point break in Cabo San Lucas on New Year's Day, 2013
Surfing in Colorado is not a three-word oxymoron. All that surfing really requires is moving water, determination, acceptance of failure, and a willingness to get hurt for the greater good of physical fitness and floating on water. Becoming a surfer while living in a land-locked state like Colorado is possible; it just takes some creativity.

This blog is for the non-surfer, the beginner surfer, the dreaming surfer, or the otherwise inquisitive into the world of surfing. It is here I will detail the basics of surfing and any surfing and almost-surfing adventures. Please enjoy the ride in. :-)
