The Hermosa Beach Iron Man event is back this year and bigger than ever. It’s all going down July 4th, 2011 at Hermosa Beach, CA. If you were there last year you know the deal… 1 mile run, 1 mile paddle, and 6 beers to chug. Sounds fun right?? On top of all that they’ll be tons of prizes, music, and chaos all over.

Snowboarders Superpark 15 was amazing and I spent this last week down there shredding it up with all the boys. I headed down to Mt Bachelor Oregon to meet up with the Superpark crew, Pat Bridges, and everyone from Snowboarder Magazine for the big week of Superpark and shred it up as our mountains for the most part in the NW have closed by now and I had not gotten my full fix yet.
