Keep dreaming.
I’m learning from reoccurring experience that they do come true!
Ryan Lehman, Colin Burton, and Jeff Hoke can back me up on this. We recently enjoyed an incredible weekend of heli-surfing in the Gulf of Alaska. (more…)

Aerial Photography – Sunset to Moonrise in Homer, Alaska
A recent aerial shoot in Homer, Alaska left me with a great memory and a few nice photos. During my flight the sun set behind the Alaska Range then moments later the full moon rose from behind the Kenai Mountains. These are some familiar sights that I never tire of. Enjoy.
Aerial view of the Homer Harbor entrance. 
The most photographed building in Homer from a different angle. 
This was kind of a surprise. A guy fat tire biking through the rocks at low tide. -
10 + tips for life in Alaska
This post is inspired by fellow Alaskans we’ve met, both transplants and born & raised, that weren’t savvy on what we see as essentials for managing life in Alaska. So without further ado, here are a few of our favorite tips to make life in the last frontier a little easier. (more…)

das ist cool! Alaska im Winter: Adventure and Surf
We’ve had what seems like a lot of German attention lately, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it!
Early this winter we were visited by filmmaker Sabrina Hermsen and her crew from ZDF (the German equivalent of PBS, we understand). We had a lot of fun showing them around and managed to get some surf when by all standards there really wasn’t any.
This German TV episode features us and Surf Alaska. Our appearance begins at 5:47.
In this longer episode Mike McCune of Ocean Swell Ventures and the M/V Milo are featured as well, although the surf is noticeably missing. We’re only sorry they didn’t include the post session feast, standard fare on the Milo, that we shared with them. Check it out, starting at 6:49.
Oh yeah, we also wish we knew what they are saying about us! Did you hear anyone say ‘der spinnt’ (he’s nuts!)?
This fall we were also showing up in German print:
On a more traditional front, Scott’s ever popular aerial bore tide surf shot was featured as a double page spread in a German magazine, Fit for Fun.
And another one that we really wish we could read: a super-cool looking book about Stand-Up Paddling published several SDP photos, including one of Scott surfing (taken by yours truly!).
Yes, this means that Scott is surfing in a book that has Laird Hamilton on the cover.

Surfing Alaska this fall
I’ve been out on more than a couple surf trips this fall on the m/v Milo with Ocean Swell Ventures. On a recent trip I shot a little video between photos and today I put together a very very short edit to start learning my way around some new video editing software. Check out the video below.
