So I was chatting with my brother online yesterday and he asked me what my goals were for the new year... I told him my main goal was do have at least as much fun as the last year and what a great year it was. For me it was a new venture, off into the unknown. I left the World Cup Tour, took huge budget cuts from a couple of my sponsors, but yet found more richness in life. One of the best years of my life, no titles, no championships, and not making money.. Pretty funny really to a guy who has pretty much had it all, and to think the year i did none of the things that the world thinks as cool, it has been one of the most fun... Scary sometimes, but still fun. Went to Vietnam right out of the gates, to be at a PWA competition without competing was a first, but for some reason it just felt right. I think that is when I knew I made the right decision. My friend Johannes and I manage to product two 27 minute TV shows for ESPN Asia without having a clew at what we were doing. What a learning experience that was. From there went to Maui and had a great spring time working with the Ezzy Sails team, doing photoshooting and just having a blast. Went to Santa Cruz for a Family reunion Waddell Classic event, which was fun to see all of our childhood hommies there! Then to Thailand, Denver, Jackson Hole for some late season snowboarding, the Gorge, where I hadn't been to in over 15 years, to Pistol River, then to Aruba, filming again, wow that was pretty fun, then to some more windsurfing trips, then over to some Motocross filming which was amazing in Orlando, Kentucky, and over to Mississippi , then Baja, Maui, then back to Cali for an amazing road trip, back to Jackson, then to Maui for the finals of the AWT, and bam the year was done, just like that. What a year.

For this next year, I am going to try to get back into blogging. Sometimes I get so tied up in other things that the last thing you want to do is get on the computer. I was so dedicated to it before and now have been lagging on it. So I am back...

So Happy New Year to everyone... See you in the wind somewhere!!
