Ski Bum Gear: Reef Sushi Roll Sandal

Video: LINO’, an Animated Surf Flick

Check this video out...I've watched it ten times already. The music is super mellow, vibing well with the impressive stop-motion animation that makes those little Playmobil figurines look like they're just shredding some epic waves. Lino', made by Karim Rejeb of KarimRejeb-SurfArt.com, is a masterpiece fit for anyone who has played with plastic toys. His vision of the world of surfing, a...

Friends of the TatsVan: Scott McBrayer – Bull Rider

Scott McBrayer, better known on the Freeskiing World Tour as McSlayer, just rode his third bull at the Carbondale Thursday night rodeo. Known for tossing frontflips to a stomped landing off of 40 foot cliffs, it's his background as a hunting guide and cowboy that makes Scott really stand out. He didn't make eight seconds (the minimum time for a score) in this ride, but as any cowpoke knows...

Mobile Lifestyle: The Mobile Office

I have found two activities to occupy my time, each of which helping to engage the frontal lobe or get my heart pumping hard. On sunny days, the choice is easy: I grab my inflatable stand-up paddleboard (iSUP) and cruise with the bus and clients to the river put-in. I help unload the boats, ditch the deflated iSUP board and paddle, drop the bus at the bottom of the Shoshone Rapids section ...

Pingu Goes Skiing

This is a funny viral video that has hit the winter audience. Stop-motion animation is so fun! (WARNING: some adult language and themes) For those who haven't been following ski design innovation over the past few years, rocker technology is an ancient design that has found a new life in current ski brands. Ski companies are adopting the early-rise tips and tails of the old carved, wood...

Friends of the TatsVan: Leo Ahrens

This is especially true for the junior competitors, whose parents have had the foresight - and made the sacrifices - to know that these competitions are helping to groom their kids into the more well-rounded skiers which the greater skiing audience can identify with. For 17 year-old Leo Ahrens, that barrier has been broken, and he's got two shred-sticks on his feet ready to continue smashing...

Ski Bum Gear: Reef Sushi Roll Sandal

Trust me, I know things.

Reef Sushi Roll Sandal

I just spent a week touring the newest Warren Miller flick around to movie venues across Oregon. I lugged boxes and carts carrying everything from $40,000 projectors to a giant, air-filled Yeti from Utah.

And I’ve done it all in my new Reef Sushi Roll Sandals. These kicks are so sweet I just can’t stop wearing them!

The others in the road crew think I’m crazy to wear sandals while loading up all the heavy equipment, but I just tell ‘em, “Sandals to ski boots, there’s nothing else!

With a shake of their heads, I just move on and get to setting up the movie screen for our gig. And all of this is done in Samurai style with these sushi-inspired sandals. Seriously, they have bamboo mat soles with feaux sushi rolls blinging up the sides; point in case, chicks dig ‘em.

It’s either that or this warrior ‘stache I’ve been sportin’. No…probably just the sandal steeze.
