(ALMOST) Spring Skim Sessions

Isaac Thomas and Crew
Isaac Thomas and the "Slappy Squad" have been making it out in the 45-50 degree weather to catch the low tides in Tacoma lately. If you are in the Tacoma/Puget sound area and have a wetsuit or some thick skin now is the time to get out there and get some tricks dialed before spring/summer are in full affect.

Twelve Update

To celebrate the first day of spring on the 20th we are going to drop Episode "One/Twelve" on Monday March 21st. The Episode will feature a variety of really sick content but you'll have to wait until Monday to get the specifics.

Adrien and Crew

Over in Holland Adrien Raza and friends have been suiting up in the cold weather and hitting the beach. Expect more footage from Adrien and the temperatures across the Atlantic start to get a little warmer.
