  Check out these bad boys. The Reef Byerly IV Wakeskate Shoe. Massive thanks to my man Alfie at REEF for the advance hook up of these beauties. Our new season now officially starts at the weekend and the IVs will be on general release in a couple of months.

• Broboarding Mancation in China

  Tuesday, Mar 9, 2010 10:59AM / Standard Entry

  
  
  Introducing Team Nanshan. A couple of weeks before my second little boy, PIran, was born, I went on a traditional Mancation with a few of my closest homies - just a long weekend of unhinged mayhem before settling back down to sleepless nights and nappy changing...
  
  Here's a few pix of the trip to Nanshan Ski Resort, just north of Beijing. The place surpassed all our expectations and although the mountain is small and runs were short, it was perfect for a cheap and easy few days boarding. Plus the Nanshan Mellow Park is of course world class with serious jumps, kickers, rails, boxes and other random obstacles thrown in. There were virtually no queues anywhere, the food was fantastic, accommodation decent and people friendly. For those that need it, rental gear was also available and was as good as you'd get anywhere.
  
  It aint Niseko, but it's well worth a visit for a cheap quick boarding trip - and it'd be the perfect place to learn.. As soon as both my boys are old enough, that's where we'll be heading to learn how to throw down the tricks.. Oh yes!
  
  Team Nanshan: The Video - coming soon...

• New addition to Team FC - Born 2am, 25 Feb 2010 in HK

  Thursday, Feb 25, 2010 3:12PM / Standard Entry

  
  
  Introducing - via a couple of dodgy iPhone shots - the less than one hour old addition to Team FC. Our little tiger - as yet un-named - was born last night at 2am in the Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong, weighing in at a respectable 3.2kg... The amazing Pui Pui FC is having a well earned rest, the little tiger is growling like a contented alien, big brother Tristan FC doesn't really have a clue what's going on, and, well, I'm just sitting in stunned silence in total and complete amazement at all that surrounds me...
  
  Thanks to all the Queen Mary staff and for all the well wishes we've been getting. But most of all, thanks to Pui Pui, the undeniable leader of Team FC, for letting me be a part of all this beautiful craziness...
