What up Scotty D!

by *SURFACE

Sep 25th 2010 - 1 comments

Scott Damon is an incredible skier with a baller attitude! After a year holding it down on the team, Scott is a full fledged member of the Surface family and we sincerely appreciate having him on the program. Here's a little Q & A with our homie Scott Damon! photo by Ian Matteson1) Between skiing, high dives, and on the ground, I have probably done around 1873 flips since 2009...or way to many!2) My favorite activity outside of skiing is probably swimming, bowling, or just hangin with the ladies.3) I started skiing when I was 5 years old up at Park City and just joined Axis Freeride a few years back, skiing as much as I can. Trying to learn as many tricks with my homies and having way too much fun!4) The most important thing in my life is to try and be friends with everyone I meet and learning as much as I can in life. Including trickery on the slopes!!5) If it suddenly stopped snowing.... I would probably try to invent a machine that enables a world of snow again. If that didn't work out, please more ladies.photo by Ian Matteson7) Favorite book would be Horton Hears A Who. So tight.8) Well Im diggin Ya'meen-Method Man to pump me up. Or something classy like G Code-Geto Boys.9) Favorite trick is floatin huge rodeo 5'sphoto by J Eichhorst 10) Happiness in 5 words. Parties, music, good food, girlfriend, SKIING!

SHOP CALLOUT Part 1: Board of Provo!

by *SURFACE

Sep 22nd 2010 - 5 comments

With the internet dominating consumer relations, genuine shops are becoming scarce. When operated properly, they are a tremendous driving force in the industry and allow quality brands to put products into the hands of people like you. At Surface, we carefully select the shops that sell our products and cannot thank them enough for their unyielding support. The following is the first installment of SHOP CALLOUT, an ongoing series dedicated to the retail warriors that floss our products. John and the crew at Board Of Provo have been a great friend and partner of Surface since the early days! Walk into the shop to a warm welcome and a great staff keeping you updated on a huge selection of product to see why Board Of Provo is quickly becoming a powerhouse in the Utah shred scene! Below, we have some Q&A's with John to see what it takes to maintain a high caliber operation: Q. How do you differentiate your shop from others in the area?A. We differentiate ourselves by just trying to be cool to all that visit our shop, being nice to people goes a long way. We are a pro shop so we are all passionate about riding & know about the product we have in our store.Q. Do you host any shop events or competitions throughout the year?A. We do a few on snow demos through out the season, 1st one in December & usually one in Feb. Just trying to give people an opportunity to try before you buy.Q. What are some names of local shredders that will become the top pros of tomorrow?A. I would just say PJ Baymiller & some of the kids on the Sundance ski team that Tyson Henrie has been working with should be blowing minds in the up coming years.Q. What is the most fun aspect of operating a shop?A. Being involved with the latest & greatest product that makes doing what we love even better! Q. If I walked into your store for the first time, what would the scene be like?A. The crew hard at work keeping the shop dialed & looking great. Having the best product line up in the biz here for you to come touch, feel & check out in person. Trying to figure out the integrity and cosmetic aspects of a product is nearly impossible from a online little picture, come have a conversation with a rider & someone who is here the help you find the best stuff for your needs.Q. Do you try to create a particular vibe in your store?A. We always try to have a super inviting & welcoming vibe when you enter our shop. We are all people trying to have fun doing what we love. Everyone is welcome here!Q. What brands are you most hyped to work with? A. Surface of course. Just rad to be a part of such a cool local thing.Q. Describe your typical customer?A. We get a wide range of customers, but definitely a lot of college kids with BYU & UVU being here in Utah valley.Q. What is your favorite shred flick of all time ?A. Blizzard Of Ahhhhhs & Fast Times at Ridgemont High of course.Q. What is the most exciting time of each season?A. Being able to switch it up, not getting burned out on the same thing all year.Thanks boys!

An Ode to the Truly Privileged.

by *SURFACE

Sep 10th 2010 - 0 comments

Adam Clark Photo At a glimpse, everyone is becoming extinct, dominated by technology, drowning in unfathomable oceans of LCD screens and keyboards. We facetwiterbook so frequently, we appear to enjoy bragging about any given exploit more than actually participating. We are so focused on a two-dimensional plane that we ignore depth, disregard authenticity, and fail to remember that nature defines beauty and complexity. We forget that the world thrives in billions of interconnected symbiotic relationships and that we have the power to influence, inspire, and strengthen those that we encounter. Thankfully, you are different. You are a privileged soul and you have found something so wholesome and enthralling, nothing stands in comparison. You are fortunate enough to recognize passion, freedom, pure joy, enthusiasm, excitement? and re-produce familiar feelings every time you step on skis. Face shots, sunny days, après, early mornings, night hikes, sunsets, friends, old stories, adrenaline, broken equipment, duct tape, core shots, injuries, bitter cold, slushy days, last call, 4am concrete, lift rides, first chair, last chair, kinked metal, filming edits, sled laps, building jumps, backcountry BBQ?s, fire pits, hot laps, snow pits, beacon-shovel-probe, avi-lungs, altimeters, hydration packs, powerbars, beef jerky, warm coffee, ride away, high fives?. It?s all part of an extraordinary symphony we call skiing. Thank you for being different, thank you for understanding the value of being unplugged and for discovering enlightenment through sliding on snow. Inhale opportunity, for freedom is alive and well.
