Friend, photographer, and design artist Aaron Schwartz has been silently killing it for Surface Canada the past few seasons. From designing our flyers for the Canadian Demo Tour to customizing Eliel Hindert's skis, Aaron is a rad character with an artistic eye. For more of Aaron's designs check out HIS WEBSITE HERE.
Thanks for the STOKE Aaron Schwartz!

Operating under the firm belief that the youth shreds just as hard as their adult counterparts, we created the "Next Life," and unveiled the first true rockered ski to the youth market. By first true rockered ski, we mean a ski that is designed and built to perform like an adult rocker ski, just smaller. The Next Life comes equipped with wood cores, sidewall construction and a waist width of 100 mm to ensure the Blake Nyman?s of the future can slash, stomp and send it just like their hero?s.
Early Rise and Low Rise Hybrid make for an extremely smooth turn initiation and exit. along with keeping the tip of those boards ontop of the deepest snow. The Hybrid Camber underfoot allows for that edge hold when snow tends to firm up or when terrain gets steeper and you need that extra bite. The Low Rise allows for "catch free skiing" making turn entry a breeze.
Never Doubt the Youth!

I'm thankful for travel. Those times when you wake up at 4:37 am, drive two hours through snowy roads to the nearest airport and post up, half exhausted at your gate with nothing more than an iPod, cup of coffee, and book. I'm thankful for new perspectives, genuine people, genuine haters, people to love, friends to see, hilarious events, and astounding scenery. I'm thankful for freedom. The freedom to pick up and disappear, the freedom to leave a location and arrive in the next, the freedom to live completely unshackled from routine and any shred of normalcy. I'm thankful for time in the air, hours completely shut off from cell phone and email conversations, spent in perfect solace staring at a quiet world. I thankful for highways that connect town to town, city to city, and state to state. I'm thankful for truck stops with hilarious t-shirts, endless subway sandwiches, water, and 5-hour energy drinks. I'm thankful for music. Blasting songs from limitless musical options is refreshing and can pass the time for hours. I'm thankful for travel, for it is but 1/100th of what makes our lifestyle absolutely incredible. Travel Safe & Be Well. photos by Banks Gilberti

The Walks of Life is a Surface team movie that we have tried to make a reality for at least a couple years now. With the help of Paul Braunstein, we were finally able to put together a 20 minute short featuring Surface riders: Blake Nyman, Banks Gilberti, Ian Wade, Jeff Kiesel, John Ware, Josh Bishop, Scott Damon and of course, Anthony Boronowski. The premier will be held at the Tower Theatre at 876 E. 900 S. in Salt Lake City this coming Monday, November 29th at 7:00pm - there will be a $5 admission fee but don't trip because plenty of swag will be tossed and there will also be a BALLER raffle going on as well. To top it all off, the party will move just a short walk up the street to FRESH SLC 870 E. 900 S. for a look at images from Surface photographers Adam Clark, Ian Matteson and Jason Eichhorst. Show will start around 7:00pm - For more info call us at (801) 733-4195

Each morning, we receive hundreds of inquiries regarding how to be sponsored. How good does my video have to be? How many tricks do I need to learn? Is it okay if I can't spin rightside? What if all my friends say I'm super good, even if kids on the internet talk smack.....? Well folks, other than being, really really, ridiculously good looking on a pair of skis, being sponsored is not an intricate web of logarithms, graphs, and scientific formulas. On the contrary, sponsorship involves a multitude of attributes, activities, and various levels of talent, marketing, varsity maneuvers. Rather than leave this information locked away in secret storage areas on our hard drives and FTP sites, we have decided to give you firsthand information on how to achieve your dream of being sponsored. BOOM. Welcome to Part I:
Athlete: Ian WadePhotos: Ian Matteson
In Part I of "How to Be Sponsored" we profile longtime Surface OG Ian Wade and his ability to be on the grind. Being on the grind is crucial to obtaining quality imagery with photogs, getting the shot before the generator dies, and stomping the perfect trick prior to getting hassled by security. For two years straight, Wade set out on 100 + days of urban missions while skiing park everyday, and owning a small business (FRESH, SLC). Up all night, coffee & hand rails until sunrise, work Brighton Park crew all day, then repeat. Now that Ian has added academics into his mission of being on the grind, he truly exemplifies what it means to be on the grind. For Ian, being on the grind means doing what he loves, maintaining balance between his modeling-skiing-working-academic endeavors, aggressively marketing his experiences, and obtaining fantastic imagery of his exploits.
Take notes, define what you want to obtain, and be sure to stay on the grind!
