Granted Sweaters Are In!

Located in Vancouver, BC. For over 30 years they have specialized in traditional Canadian and unique hand knit sweaters and accessories using 100% pure new wool, merino wool and possum-blend wool.

All of their products are hand-made one piece at a time by experienced knitted from Vancouver. They aim to use local sources for all trimmings and yarn. The signature Granted zipper pulls are made from salvaged Yew wood branches therefore no trees were cut down during this process. These one-of-a-kind pieces are hard-wearing and weather resistant.

Surfing Etiquette Goes to Court

A collision in the lineup on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore resulted in a court case over damages. The full story is here on the CBC News site.

Next time your out surfing think twice before dropping in on someone. I think this whole thing is stupid, but you never know who's gonna be out there.

WHAT!!!!!!

Shaun White busted out an insane new trick at the final Grand Prix practice under the lights at Park City tonight—a double McTwist 1260. He says, he booked it straight to Park City after the Mammoth Grand Prix and, reminiscent of last winter when he innovated several double corks in the pipe, he fixated on this new goal.
