Every-so-often as winter snow sports enthusiasts, we’ll run into scenes or stories from other sports that so closely describe what it is we feel on our own journeys  in the mountains, that it transcends the specific sport we have chosen.

As winter makes its way into summer in the northern hemisphere, most of us will take to the mountains by foot or on bike, or we’ll head to the ocean to play in the world biggest playground. So much of what we do, whether on water, frozen water, mountains, lakes, streams evokes the same sense of freedom and personal fulfillment.

This little video of legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton paints that picture well. Take in the intensity of the experience and how it’s changed the rider… it’s something most of us have felt before in our lives when we’re out doing what we love, moving towards our calling.

Shred on…
