Not a surf hero... But rather a hero, at the surf.

Truly at home with his surroundings...

Riley says: "For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver."

YO, THAT KELP IS STUPID FLY SON

Oh Kelp Yeah!
After eating nearly my weight in hella dank (Cali lingo, no big deal...) fish tacos, I headed down to the surf for a little Hasselhoff action.

Riley says: "Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen."

HOWARD AND THE HERO

Echo Park Hero... Plus Duck
Growing up, I always knew I would some day meet Howard The Duck. A mere 24 years into my stupendous existence, in Los Angeles' Echo Park, a dream became reality. I did expect him to be a bit larger though... And, now that I think about it, he never actually spoke.

Riley says: "“Write in recollection and amazement for yourself."

BUELLER?

Hero?
If it were not for the gloves... Would you really be able to find the hero?

Riley says: "A clever skier will often find an oasis of good snow while the rest of the party ... within a few yards of him ... are struggling with crust."

HUCKFEST HERO: PART TROIS

Ingrid/Riley/Krista's Floor

Huckfests, without a doubt, bring about New Years celebrations of epic proportions. However, this year's debauchery will easily rival our 'Fests in years to come... Professional skier Ingrid Backstrom threw down with us at Squaw Valley's "The Loft" and inevitably... A dance off commenced.

Huckfest Dance Off

Riley says: "The ski bum trades security for face shots and the future for the moment. Considering how hollow the promise of a corporate career has become, who can say the ski bum is not the wiser investor in his or her youth?"
