It’s the New Year! That means a new beginning of sorts — an opportunity to not only look forward, but move forward. It is an opportunity to explore whatever your great unknown is, whether that puts you knee-deep in backcountry powder, or reaching for a gnarly hold on a face you previously considered unclimbable, or even trying a cuisine you’ve never experienced before. And if that isn’t enough to roll you out of bed this morning, then you need to rethink your life, because you’ve arrived at a place of utter complacency and you might as well close the curtains and sleep past snooze. But if you’re reading this, then I’m assuming you’re already choking down a couple Tylenol with a cup o’ Joe and preparing to hit the road. ‘Cause that feeling of pure, unadulterated freedom is what we live for.
Honestly, that is what I love about action sports. Hungover? Strap in to your board(s) and let gravity take care of that for you. Bruised and battered? Go jump in the ocean. Exhausted? Step outside.
Cityside or otherwise… step outside.
