Maybe you live somewhere where it doesn’t snow enough. Maybe you want to have your own snowboard park in the front yard. Maybe you just want to point it at your friend’s car for an entire night & film him losing his marbles the next morning becoming instantly famous on YouTube.  The point is -  you can help mother nature along with the home snowmaker. Freezing weather & some high pressure water can create a winter wonderland in a matter of hours.

This camera looks super sick. There is a remote, so you won’t need to fumble around with the camera itself to document your every move. Mount it to your head & make personal Twitter videos. You will no longer have to type, “Now feeding my 17 cats.” You can simply just do it, film it while it’s happening, upload it to your Facebook page & then link it to your Twitter! I bet you’ll get like 20 new followers for that!

At the coffee shop I frequent, you are judged by the bicycle you pull up on. Get a Townie with a surf rack and you are instantly a local. Well, maybe not right away, but with the right stickers on the frame, you could easily pass for one.

Ok, this might be the ultimate co-lab in the action sports industry. Even if it’s just a exterior makeover – it’s still pretty neat. I can almost guarantee that there is a perma-link to the Billabong online store in the bookmarks bar. Cool little travel notebook with a cool summer paint job.

Spring into summer means warmer air temps, but sometimes old Neptune doesn’t quite get the memo and warm up the bath! Here is your answer – the Cypher 2mil full suit. Call it your in-between season suit. Less rubber means more mobility. Besides, its always good to wear less rubber, that is, unless your night job is a dominatrix!

What can I say about GoPro that isn’t awesomely obvious? Pretty much nothing. Anyhow, for those that don’t know: GoPro cameras are tough little HD cameras that can be mounted to a whole cornucopia of surfaces. From cars to surfboards, your head, your friend’s head, helmets, torsos, basically everyplace. The footage is HD quality and you can make unreal POV movies with the thing.  What I do fear is that someone is going to take these into the adult film business…and then it gets really awkward.

Being buried alive is probably my biggest fear, well second biggest. My biggest fear is attending a wedding in white linen pants after eating at a Mexican establishment with a health board B in the window. I know how to avoid my biggest fear – don’t attend weddings anymore. Being buried under tons of white concrete is a lot more unpredictable. As snowboarders venture more and more out of ski area confines, the risk of avalanche incident increases. The best defense against avalanches is knowing where to be & where not to be. However, if you can arm yourself with some hardware to help in the event of an avalanche…won’t you do it? When inflated, these airbag backpacks are designed to help you “float” to the surface of a slide. There is a small co2 charge and a rip cord that inflates the airbag in a pinch. Again, the best defense against an avalanche is being smart.
