We've all heard the stories of the million mile Sprinter, and so we all expect that our Sprinters will run at least 500,000 miles. And they probably will too, if they're properly maintained. Here's a guide on how to take care of your Sprinter based on what I've learned the hard way.
It's been just over a year now since I quit #vanlife and settled down in a home on the west coast. Here's a review of my first year living in LA.
Long have I heard the tales of conquest beyond the American border to the north. Rumors of granite cracks stretching to the sky and beyond. I speak of course of the legendary Squamish. Land of bullet hard granite, soaring cliffs, and soft grades. Many climbers though, are not aware that Squamish is also home to a world class kiteboarding scene. The spit is famous among elite kiters for its flat water, steady wind, and stressful launch. Squamish is the only place I’ve ever kited where you have to pay to kite, so you might consider it the Gunks of kiting in that respect.
Unwinter is a concept I openly stole from my buddy Brian, who bravely pioneered the first attempt in a semi-successful venture to Red Rocks. Although I loved the idea, Red Rocks was still too cold in winter for my tastes, I needed a warmer locale. Having made significant progress with my kiting, I really liked the idea of throwing myself at the ocean for like 3 or 4 months. Some kiters I met in Hood River and Long Beach strongly recommended that I check out La Ventana, which they hailed as a winter kiting Mecca.
It’s nearly spring climbing season and I still haven’t posted anything about last year’s fall season. Unforgivable. Especially considering how fantastic the fall season has been. So much has happened that it’s difficult to put it into words without writing a novel. So instead, I’m going to make this post mostly about pictures, cuz a picture’s worth a $1000 or something like that…
