Today, we pulled into the port of Kahului and wasted no time in starting our adventure. After renting a car, we headed straight to Haleakalā National Park. We stopped at both visitor centers, where we learned about the park’s unique features—like the amazing silversword plant, which only blooms once in its life before it dies. […]
I write this from the comfort of a rented truck camper in Hood River, Oregon at the conclusion of a week long wingfoiling trip. Getting here was logistically difficult as my first travel day happened to be computer bug day also known as, “Y2K 2024 Edition.” Instead of 5 hrs, it took me 65 hrs

Grab a cup of coffee and watch the video below of nearly six minutes of continuous crashes and laughs. The sport you are watching is the latest in my watersports journey called Dockstarting a way to use hydroids in a purely human powered way. No motor, no wind, no nothin. My first try with a
The last two years of post Coast Guard life have been great. Dozens or hundreds of adventures depending on how you count. At the same time, because we are always traveling, being spontaneous with a new opportunity that pops up can be difficult. Hard to grab a bike ride with a friend in DC when

I’ve had some great foiling sessions since we left DC. Down the East Coast as we stayed in one great beach after another I expected to get in some winging and I wasn’t disappointed. Since we left the coast I’ve also found some wind and water in Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, and today I checked

So proud of this family today! They crushed our Tetons goal hike climbing almost 3000 feet vertical on an 11 mile trail. A bit longer than it should have been because of a parking area full of people doing less ambitious hikes. The Jenny Lake hike was a great buildup for this one. Spectacular views
