Tonight is the Burton Open opening party with all the pro riders and NZ shop crew, and tomorrow were up Cardrona testing and riding all the boards for next season from Burton and Forum.
Much love from Wanaka!! Chur

since its a rainy mid may day, and its NZ Music Month im gonna recommend (did i spell that right?) that you support local and buy the new Artisan Guns-Hearts album. Its a wicked collection of music from some very talented local boys. If you havent had a listen before then definately get into it. Go on iTunes and buy it, cause its well worth it, and if you dont I will slap your silly face with a fish.
