This past weekend was Mammoth Mountains true opening weekend. We all know that they had a surprise opening back in October, but this was the opening weekend that was locked down in the schedule months ago. The night we got up there it had snowed a couple inches, so things were looking good. The top of the mountain was open, so you could take full top to bottom runs. Throughout the runs there was all types of step ups, hips, rock bonks, pole taps, then a mini park down forest trail with jibs and a mini double line of jumps. On saturday night there was one of the most inspiring art shows I have ever been to called “I am Snowboarding”. This was a tribute art show to our fallen friend Jeffy Anderson, who pasted away many years ago, but has never and will never be forgotten. The energy and passion that each piece put out was incredible. Billy Anderson and his mother Jane opened up the show by speaking about Jeffy, and soon after the tears were wiped away everyone enjoyed some wine, all the amazing art, and just the fact that everyone was celebrating Jeffy. All in all it was an amazing weekend filled with the cries of joy and laughter. A great kickoff to the season. I want to thank everyone who was a part of the “I am Snowboarding” show and Mammoth for a memorable weekend.

This past weekend, Surfside Snow/Surf shop up in Costa Mesa, CA had their 8th annual winter snow carnival. Companies from all over southern california come and set up tents in the store’s parking lot. The companies put on games for the kids and consumers, where they can win prizes and collect raffle tickets for the grand give away from Surfside at the end of the day. This year we decided to go with the theme of the great movie “Beer Fest”. For those who have seen it, you should understand when I say “Das Boot”, for those who haven’t, it’s a large drinking glass shaped as a boot. Since the carnival is for kids of all ages, we decided to put a little twist on this legendary game, and bring our own ingredients in to concoct the grossest thing you have ever seen any man or woman drink. We had many people stand up to the challenge, some came out victorious and well… some not so much. The booth was crowded all day, filled with the sounds of laughter, crying and some other noises that you cant make with letters or a keyboard. All in all it was a great day, and we want to thank all the people who came out and supported us and Surfside! We are wishing you all a great winter, and can’t wait to hit the slopes with you all.

NSSA Southwest Open season event #10 Huntington Beach CA Southside of the pier. April 4-5, 2009
Can you imagine what it would be like to have perfect 4-6 foot faced waves, perfect shaped waves and glassy conditions with frothing groms ripping? Well it was a great weekend with good surfing action from the young up and comers who are trying to make a name for their selves or show off their shredding skills.
When it it all came to an end on Sunday, the Spy guys were the standouts as always. Parker Coffin from Santa Barbara finished 2nd in the Open Juniors division while Kanoa Igarashi place 2nd in the Open Boys division.
Poor young Luke Davis had to bow out of the event because he got the Chicken Pox on Sunday. We wish you a speedy recovery Luke. Don’t itch yourself!
