These are from a session earlier in the year with my 2 brothers. It was only the second time we had all been together in 6 or 7 years as one of us always seems to be travelling.

Love this!

I have 2 brothers, too, that I haven't seen in as many years. The last time we hooked up there was a lost anchor on Dad's boat, a twisted transom after running over a fishing net, and the bone of a dorsal fin of a bass wedged between my nail and up to the second joint in my pinky when one of them suddenly said, "Catch!". It took 3 infectious months to expel the bugger while my nail grew out.

At least that was better than the previous meeting when my biggest brother shot me with his 16-gauge while hunting birds. The tree-hugging veggie doctor decided to dig all the shot out with the dirtiest scapel he could find. The bastard left behind enough lead in my knee that the security gates in an airport still occasionally go off.

They are the brothers who handed me an old Mistral windsurfer when I was 13 years old and a snowboard a year later. Those gestures, alone, resulted in travelling the world and seeking more exciting things to do on a "board".

Thanks, bros.

Brothers/ sisters I wish it were true in my family but the wheels fell of ,The old saying you can choose your friends but not family Is true

I wish I could do that with my bro...but would need a 400lt board for both of us to stand on it together...and we're not that close!

Good vibe pics though.
