There’s something magical about finding your people - the ones crazy enough to chase waves on Lake Erie and create art out of it. My friend @scottditzenberger produced the most incredible documentary about our Great Lakes surf community, and I’m honored to have a little cameo skateboarding in it too.

Out of Place tells the real story of Cleveland surfers dating back to the early 1960s… the grit, the passion, the freezing-cold winter swells, and the crew that kept showing up anyway. From industrial fallout to a river that literally caught on fire, this film captures what it means to find freedom in the most unexpected places.

It debuted at the New York Surf Film Festival and even won Viewers’ Choice for Best Feature - and trust me, it deserved it.

If you want to grab a copy or support the filmmaker, reach out to @scottdit. This documentary is a piece of Cleveland surf history and a reminder that adventure is wherever you choose to carve it. 🌊🛹❄️

This past weekend was one for the books… or the police blotter. Our fellow ski brother, the legend himself Haley Joel Osment, joined the villains for an après-ski session that escalated from champagne showers to “I SEE DRUNK PEOPLE” real quick.

Let’s just say things got a little too après and our guy ended up trading his goggles for handcuffs. He went full send into legendary status and we salute him for it. Ski hard, party harder, face the consequences like a true villain.

To be clear: he’s out, he’s safe, and he still rips harder than you on a bluebird day.

This weekend, Wolfgang Von Mogul @bmcwilliez skied the unthinkable—the brushy, rock-riddled, snow-sprinkled wasteland of Pajarito. No lift lines. No base. No rules. Just raw terrain and rawer vibes!

We haven’t seen a stunt like this since the spring of ’84 when Klaus “the Avalanche” Schnitzel launched off a picnic table at a family reunion, landed in a kiddie pool full of melted snowcones, and was declared mayor of Après for 14 straight minutes.

Wolfgang bombed through cacti and caution tape like a polyester-clad ghost from a time when neon was law and sunscreen was forbidden. At one point, he slashed a turn so hard it summoned a hawk. At another, he may have invented a new turn: the brush wedgie.

Spring skiing isn’t about conditions—it’s about conviction. And Wolfgang has it in @pitviper clad spades.

Look, it wasn’t a fall—it was a controlled gravity experiment conducted under the lift, in front of dozens of strangers. Totally intentional.

Reminds us of ’84 when Slippery Greg tried to ski with a raccoon in his jacket after a long night at the fondue barn. Raccoon woke up mid-mogul, launched out like a cannonball, hit a snowboarder named Todd, and set off the largest yard sale in Aspen history. No one talks about that fall because Greg claimed it was performance art.

So yeah—was it dramatic? Maybe. Was it filmed? Definitely. But was it worse than raccoon-launch-gate? Not even close.

The snow in Japan is absolutely ridiculous this year. Waist-deep powder, perfectly sculpted tree runs, and the kind of untouched lines that make you question every life choice that isn’t skiing. We watched a ski bunny absolutely carve through that deep Japow, and for the first time in a long time… we felt jealous.

Took us right back to the winter of ‘86 when we were wreaking havoc in Hokkaido, living like full-blown Bond villains. High-speed chases down Niseko, dodging patrols after a questionable fondue-fueled hot tub incident, and a brief but memorable stint hiding out in a mountaintop onsen with a very angry ski instructor demanding we return a missing gondola.

Japan, we see you. And we’re coming back.
