Just a quick update. I’m back in Canada after spending a week in Puerto Vallarta celebrating my grandfather’s upcoming 90th birthday! I had a pretty laid back week relaxing on the beach in Mexico, but I still managed to get some training in (mostly treadmill runs and ocean swims). One of the highlights of the trip was swimming out into the ocean solo, which is admittedly dangerous. Still, I found those swims energized me and gave me a sense of joy and appreciation for life.
School is picking up (thesis proposal, end of terms papers, presentations, etc.), so I have to focus these next couple months to make sure that I stay on top of things. I’m excited about where my life is at, but the time in Mexico made me very aware of just how busy I keep.
I want to highlight this video by Paul Kent—a professional longboarder—who I know through my brother Ross (also a longboarder). Paul recently skated across Peru and Bolivia and this video captures some of the wildness of his trip. He’s about to skate across Morocco as part of Long Treks on Skate Decks. Longboarding is a developing sport that I am a big supporter of. Paul is a serious endurance athlete who will challenge the way you think about longboarding. Enjoy the video and check out his site.
