Snurf Ya Later - The Provo Bros ~ December thru January 2011

Recovering from broken legs last march, there was no better way to get back into boarding then Pow surfin'.   When you free up the bindings, all the stress and pain goes away.   Luckily here in utah the powder is deep and plentiful.   Conditions have to be perfect fresh powder to be able to truley enjoy the Snurfer style boards.   Ian and i used to snowskate every preseason for the last 10 years and it grew into a hobby far beyond an early season only activity.   This year we got some amazing boards built, and for the first time really got to surf the snow!  Here is a video we made from the last 2 months "snurfin" around the Utah backcountry...  Riding these boards without bindings really helped me to get my balance and strength back before i jump back into snowboarding.
Winter is in full effect and its time for me to strap in!
SNURFS UP!

OCTOBER 27th, 2010- Winter begins, Once again

The last few days Utah had been getting hit with a huge early season snow storm... I had just gotten cleared from the doctor to do what i please, but i was planning to wait for my knee brace i ordered this week to arrive. I also wanted to work a bit more on strengthening my legs before going riding. Well, the storm produced massive amounts of snow, and i couldn't help myself, went on a mission into the Wasatch to sample the snow.

Heres a picture of my first turns of the year, and my first time back on snow since blasting my legs six months ago. What an amazing feeling to be back at it.
Oh yeah, there are NO bindings on this board, SNURFIN'!


This is my first time experimenting with a Spit-Snurfer i crafted out of an old broken splitboard... I put a bunch of stomp pads on the topsheet wherever there was no hardware... I need to rethink my traction set up though as it was hard to get a grip!


While i was making turns of my own, my brother IAN was skiing off Mt. Superior in the clouds into Cardiac bowl. He said the conditions reminded him of mid winter! It was an insane storm for all of us here in Utah!
