Powder surfing

When I took this picture of a friend riding one of the pow sticks... I asked him to come close to me, so I could get a good shot of the board.. He had to traverse a bony wind scoured section to reach me... just before dipping down into a nice powdery bowly section..
Any mere mortal would have slid out on the traverse but not him, after a bunch of years surfing liddles he knows how to use his edge without pressure... Nothing in this group of photos translated into a useful post.. Snow looks washed out, can't see the board, and slope looks flat.. Useless.. until you see his smile....pow boards are a trip to ride.. I blew the photo, but he made the section.. And disappeared out of my cell video zoom ....was a really nice run... Lots of stuff going on in the powder surfing world over here. Getting emails weekly of DIYers giving it a go! My blacktip board is at smugglers notch, VT getting demo'd by A.D., and some more good news coming from a father son kayak builder in BC, Canada .... And Kirk from foam and function is bringing a squashtail pow board to Sacred Craft Show in Santa Cruz CA. (surfboard trade show)... He's gonna have it on display with some amazing boards he's involve with..super stoked... Looking foward to hearing feedback from all those venues...
