Photos are great because they give you a perspective of the people around you. I understand that these young men were Sophmores in high school when this photo was taken. They are Seniors now and graduate in June. I hope that I was able to make an impression on their lives with my boards. Should be fun to see how it all works out. 2012 has been a great late season. Can't wait to get back out for my next snurfing session.

We just had a great couple of days in the Sierra's. The snow was terrific and their conditions are excellent. March and April have been good snow months and we are happy for all the snow and water. If you have a chance to go ride at Sierra at Tahoe, they do an awesome job, have great terrain and this has been a tough season with a wacky winter.

As you follow this blog you will get to know more and more about the "Secretive 'Shredman' ". All of the illustrations are copyright by Jay Grell. Until next time have fun and we will keep building boards, if you are interested in a handmade grellboard, we have three models, kids 40, adults 52, and custom 58 all sizing in american standard inches.

"OK GENTS...I KEW WE'D COME TO THIS SOONER OR LATER SO...

ONE OF YOU DO THE HONORS AND PULL THE CORD AND STAND BACK!

TO BE CONTINUED..."

Another in the series of original "Shredman" illustrations. Copyright by Jay Grell, these drawings were done in 1988 with some illustrations as early as 1976,

In life we find friends that become dear to us and inspire us to do great things, I was lucky enought to meet Steve Klassen while running the Professional Snowboarding Tour of America (PSTA). Steve competed at all of the stops and ended up winning the overall tour championships. Now he spends his extra time with his son Kaden who is going to become a world class snowboarder. What I like most about Steve is that he is genuine and truly loves the sport and cares for the people he meets and is one of my life friends.

From time to time

From time to time we find ourselves in incredible places with extraordinary vista's. The Sierra's are like that, one day is so different from the next and you have to enjoy all the moods of the mountain. If you live there the experience is muted by all the stuff you have to do to make a living and take care of your family, its easy to loose that. If you don't live there, you miss it all the time and  want to return as soon as you can, that's a challenge to. What it means is savor the time you get to spend in those incredible places and really take time to spend with your family. Those mountains will be there with or without snow and with or without you.

 I did go snurfing that weekend and it was good, my new kids boards are a success.

Wonderful snowstorm

Incredible snowstorm for the Sierras over the weekend of March 17th. By monday the new snow was really light and it was a beautiful day to be on the mountain.
