Yesterday was a great day at the office, we watched the qualifying rounds of the mens half pipe and orchestrated a massive Chilean dinner to keep us going until the mens final last night.
In defending his Olympic halfpipe title, Shawn White through it down with perfection at Cypress Mountain. White scored 48.4 out of a possible 50 on his second run, punctuating his dominance by landing the Double McTwist 1260 at the finish.
Come down to Chile this summer and train to be the next Olympian gold medalist!
Family day in Canada was amazing today. A few of us hung out at the office lounge and watched some of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. We are all super proud of Mike Robertson who won silver in the men’s snowboard cross final, up against France’s Tony Ramoin (bronze) and Americans Nate Holland and Seth Wescott – who took the gold by a sliver. Canadian Rob Fagan came in fifth.
Four Canadians advanced to the quarterfinal round: Rob Fagan, Francois Boivin, Mike Robertson, and Drew Neilson. Rob Fagan and Mike Robertson were the only Canadians left in today’s snowboard cross event semifinal. In the 1/8 finals, fastest qualifier Alex Pullin of Australia and American Nick Baumgartner fell in their heats, and failed to advance.
Looks like Canada is off to a great start! We are super stoked to see Alex Bilodeau win Canada’s first gold. Alex Bilodeau raced to the gold medal in the men’s moguls final today at Cypress Mountain. “The party is just starting for Canada,” said Bilodeau, who dedicated his triumph to his older brother, who has cerebral palsy. “My brother is my inspiration”
Our Costa Rica surf camp is perfect for teens 14+ who want to learn how to surf or improve their surfing skills. Costa Rica has been our stomping ground since 2001 when we first started touring it on personal trips. Our experienced staff and instructors know all of the best beaches for every type of surfer. Our main goal is to teach the participants how to surf in a safe, non-competitive environment and help them gain the confidence they need to enjoy the sport for a lifetime.
We still have spaces for camp so dont miss out. Check out our head surf instructor Erez Chen with surfing legend, Tom Curren and Corey Lopez.
