Finally a hot and sunny beach! After a few hiccups with our flights from LA we finally made it to Hawaii. Hawaii is made up of several different islands, our first stop was (obviously) Waikiki on Oahu. After checking in to our hotel we went straight to the world famous Waikiki beach. It was pretty much as you would expect it to be - very kitch and touristy! The front was lined with resort hotels and nearly every spot on the sand was taken by sun worshippers! Having said that the water was crystal clear and the sun was shining so [View Full Entry]

San Francisco is cool. That's a fact. We arrived into the city on Monday morning and found our hotel. It was in a bit of a rough neighbourhood (Tenderloin - if you know the city). The hotel itself was pretty rubbish, bit of a dreary looking room. We immediately went out and found a coffee shop on the corner of the next block. We sat outside in the sun and drank coffee. It was great and we immediately loved the place. I noticed all the media hip kids with their Apple notebooks out having coffee and watching each other type away [View Full Entry]

From Monument Valley it was off to the Grand Canyon. Unlike anywhere else we have been so far, it was swamped with tourists with cameras, but we are still somewhere between Spring Break and Easter so it’s to be expected. The park, again, was massive (it take roughly 5 hours to drive the length of the canyon). Originally I wanted to go to the northern side of the canyon but unfortunately because it’s still winter the north side is still closed to due snow - can you believe it!? So we stuck to the south side. We entered the park from [View Full Entry]

So after it dumped loads in Jackson, we went boarding for one more day. The drive around the mountain in the morning was very scary as the roads were completely covered in snow and as I had no snow chains had to drive really slowly. Kelly kept telling me I was going too fast! The last day riding was excellent though. The snow was 18 inches deep and there was powder everywhere. I did quite a bit of filming and managed to crash a few times. At the end of the day taking off my boots I noticed blood all over [View Full Entry]

- Arrived in Seattle safe and sound after a long flight from Heathrow. After spending a few days taking in the sights of Seattle; Downtown, Pike place market, the Space needle and of course the first ever Starbucks, we headed on up to Mount Baker. Steve hired the biggest car in America for our drive up to the mountains, it is literally 3 times the size of the 106. The heated seats rock though. I’ve only been brave enough to drive it back from the snowboard shop to the lodge so far, think i’ll take over the driving when we [View Full Entry]
