Although we didn't spend too much time in Austin, it was up there with my favourite places so far. The weather was hot so we set out to find somewhere to swim. We had met a couple of English girls the night before in the hostel so we were fortunate enough to have some new company. We managed to walk upstream of one of the springs to find an open area with flowing water, rapids and a nice rock to jump off. The perfect opportunity to kick back and take in the weath...

San Francisco was over. We continued our migration south. After hearing many good things, we stopped over for a night in Santa Barbara. This town was amazing. After a quick walk along the beach, stopping at the skate park for a quick scope of the local tallent, we headed back to our parking spot and got changed in preperation for a night out. It started with drinks at the Sandbar followed by a big night at The Savoy nightclub. The next morning would see us take a...

Had a few drinks at the pub and got some rest. The next morning we had a few ours left to get to SF. Arrived around lunch ti...

Following that we drove straight down to Silver Star where we met up with Elysha who was kind enough to let us crash at her house, which I must say was supremely lavish. Three stories, v...

Depsite my knee giving me quite a bit of grief, i have not been able to stop myself from snowboarding.

Work has been the usual, although the time is almot coming to an end. only just over a week left of work before we finish up and have a few days boarding before taking off. It will be sad to leave Golden but at the same time there are only more n...
