Kayaking, fishing and camping. Slow, boring, yet so rewarding. I will say, that tippy ass boat sure makes salmon fishing a whole lot more exciting!

Self Portait: Jesus Fish
At the time I was living in a trailer, at a campground, in Tofino, in 2010. The night before this was taken, I got naked in the parking lot while putting my wetsuit on. I did it in front of a carload of girls who were clearly spying on the boys and I. Everyone got a good crack out of it. Then they sped off in there civics. When we came back from the surf I noticed they'd left a note on my car with their number on it. I called them, or probably got someone else to, and invited them to my place for a campfire. They came. Later that night we'd had a few too many pops, and I thought that'd be a good time to win a girl over. So I grabbed a wiener roasting stick and bent the two prongs across each and made a Jesus Fish symbol. I had the girls pin me down on the ground. One on each arm, and one on each leg. I had my pants at me knees. Then I waited for my pal Bob to pull the metal prongs out of the yellow coals.
Then he branded my ass.
Then the girls went home.
Then I went to the doctor.
Then I couldn't surf for two weeks...
"Every time you think of your loved ones, they will think of you." Carl from La Push.
Yea, most people write Carl off because he’s a drunk who’s helping to confirm the stereotypes of Natives in North America. But fuck, sit down outside his tent where he lives, have a campfire and some beers, and he will open the laws of La Push to you. One night someone asked him why the locals don’t charge the shit out of us for camping and parking fees. “We come here every other weekend to camp and surf. You guys could make bank. Start developing more schools and shit.” said the kid. Carl replied “We know we could but we love your beautiful spirits. You guys have the most beautiful spirits and we want to keep it that way.”
